Lore of the Spirit
The Lore of the Spirit was originally used for guiding the immortal remains of life-forms to the next world. When humanity became mortal following the Rebellion, this Lore was also used to guide human souls to sanctuaries so loyalist angels of death could not take them away and possibly destroy them.
Although this Lore may seem rather underpowered compared to other World of Darkness creatures with necromantic abilities, it must be remembered that its purpose, unlike those of the Giovanni or Euthanatoi, was never meant to command, but to guide. By that means, the Lore serves its purpose quite well.
- Speak With the Dead
The Angelic may speak with a wraith, and the wraith must answer the Angels questions truthfully. .
- Summon the Dead
The Fallen may summon wraiths to his side. Wraiths thus summoned may not leave on their own accord.
- Command the Dead
The Angel can command a wraith to perform any action
- Anchor the Soul
The Angel binds a soul into an object. This can be permanent or temporary, and may either serve as a prison or create an animate puppet that allows the soul to either serve its master, or tend to unfinished business in the material world. This effect works on both mortal souls and incorporeal demonic souls, but demonic souls cannot realize their full potential while anchored in this fashion (see also Imbue Object).
- Restore the Dead
The Angel transplants a wraith into a recently dead body, granting the deceased a second chance at life. This effect places a tremendous drain on the Angel if it is supposed to last longer than a few days.
