	* Lamp of Faith		'''Description:'''

	This evocation allows a angel to detect the presence of mortals or other celestials in her vicinity by causing their store of Faith to flare like a beacon that only she can see. Individuals glow with a pale blue light, varying in intensity depending on the strength of their Faith, while non-~~living objects lose color, fading into dark silhouettes. With enough skill, the angel can even see through doors and walls, though this is obviously more difficult. Lasts a few seconds.~~		:----

	** Send Vision		:<span style="font-size:large">●●</span>
			:----
	As the Lords heralds, the Namaru were often called upon to convey God's messages across the length and breadth of the cosmos, delivering Heaven's commands as potent visions that filled a Celestial's mind with images of majesty and wonder. The vision fills the recipient's mind like an illusion or a waking dream, playing out whatever scene the sender wishes to convey in the blink of an eye. Sending more of a message is more difficult. The evocation works upon Celestials and mortals alike.		:<span style="font-size:large">●●●</span>

	*** Pillar of Faith		:----
			:<span style="font-size:large">●●●●●</span>
	Throughout the birth of the cosmos and the early days of Paradise, the Heralds were at the forefront of every major effort mandated by Heaven, bolstering the energies of other Celestials wherever necessary. As long as the angel knows a angel's Celestial or True Name and can draw line of sight to him, he may bolster the angels evoking powers with his own Faith, making the evoking much easier to accomplish. It cannot be stacked by evoking multiple times on a single target, and only works for the single next evocation by the target.		:----

	**** The Fire of Heaven		----

	This evocation allows the Devil to channel her Faith as a withering blast of pure white fire, smiting her target with the wrath of a fallen angel. Effective up to a range of several feet, this devastating attack deals out aggravated damage.
	~~Torment~~: ~~Monstrous demons are unable to focus the fiery power of their Faith in a concentrated bolt. It erupts from them in all directions as a storm of raging energy instead. When a high~~-~~Torment demon uses this evocation, the infernal fire strikes everything within a few yards of the demon with aggravated damage.~~

	***** Hand of Faith

	The mandate of the first Celestial House was to act as the voice of the Creator and to ensure that His Grand Design was fulfilled within the bounds of angelic free will. If one of the Celestials deviated too far from the Creator's design in the process of Creation, the Heralds were able to manipulate the evocation as it happened, modifying the outcome to within acceptable limits. Although this mandate was rarely enforced, this evocation more than any other spawned the tendency of the other Houses to jealously guard their prerogatives and regard the Heralds with no small amount of resentment. An extremely difficult evocation to use (and more so in combat), and rightfully powerful, it requires the evoker to know either the target's Celestial or True Name. If successful, the Devil can alter the evocation's target and effects as if she were the one using the power.
