Warrior Valeren 7

Not by rightness of spirit and rigorous training alone were the warriors of Samiel's band able to put the Baali to flight. The most talented were also able to call upon this power, which made their swords blaze with the cleansing fire of righteousness.

System: by running his hand along the blade of his weapon and coating it with his own blood (coincidentally taking a health level of damage), a Salubri can make his sword blaze with heavenly fire. After the blood has been applied, the player rolls Strength + Occult, difficulty 7. If he succeeds, the sword blazes into light with golden flames that last until the end of the scene.

The flames are not merely decorative. They cannot be smothered with powers of shadow of a lesser level of expertise, and anyone attacking a Salubri using this power is at +1 difficulty on all rolls because of the brightness of the flames. Furthermore, the sword now does an additional two dice of aggravated damage.
