Lore of the Forge
The Lore of the Forge means supreme mastery of the inanimate world. With this Lore, an Angel can fashion any object imaginable from any kind of material (say, a glass crown or a sword made from stone). Additionally, this Lore may be used to produce wondrous magical objects or cursed gifts.
- Enhance Object
An Angel may repair any object at a moment's notice, or vastly increase the efficiency of a mundane item.
- Activate Object
An Angel may make any mechanical object move, e.g. firing guns, opening locks, or making suits of armor walk.
- Create Object
An Angel may freely shape any kind of material as if it was clay or putty, or as if it was a naturally growing crystal.
- Enchant Object
An Angel combines several Lore effects to create a unique magical object called a relic. There is very little that cannot be accomplished as long as the Angel knows the required Lore, and as long as the material is sufficiently well attuned to contain the energies. With the use of Anchor the Soul as part of the enchantment process, objects can even be given a consciousness by incorporating a mortal or demonic soul.
- Imbue Object
An Angel traps an incorporeal soul in an object. This power is always permanent, and it works on the souls of mortals and on the souls of the Fallen, or those of the Host, but only the Angel can make full use of their abilities in their new sanctuary, effectively becoming instant Earthbound (see also Anchor the Soul). Mortal souls drift in darkness, and even wraiths cannot use their abilities any more.
