Acolyte

Faith
Faith cards power the Acolytes abilities. When an ability that needs Faith is played, simply add up all the Faith present (including items, innate abilities, and those drawn from Pray cards) and use this
as the power of the spell. Faith cards can be played for any reason, and need not effect anything to be played (though Threat and AP penalties apply).

the initial center square) equals the number of Faith generated. All
targets who fall under the template suffer a single damage. If the
target has the Resurrect ability, they do not make a Resurrect roll. Last Rites benefits greatly from
