“Argia, that’s— a-are you sure? It would be extremely painful!”
You do not really care.

“Yes,” you sigh, “I need you to chisel a Sanction on my flesh.”
<span class="mu-r">Sanction of the Cleaving Chain - linked to memories of Frà Catena, Saint Bragia’s mentor, this Sanction evokes the memory of its namesake, blessing the petitioner with the ability to link powerful blows together. The next combat roll after a NatCrit (97-100) is automatically considered a success (you will still roll to check for criticals).</span>
<span class="mu-b">Sanction of Twin Thunders - linked to memories of Esta Tempestati, Saint Bragia’s fellow Knight and second Archiater after her death, blessing the petitioner with the uncanny ability to resist a blow. Once per day, instantly re-roll a failed roll (even a Nat 1). You must accept the second result, even if it’s worse.</span>
<span class="mu-g">Sanction of the Hallowed Horizon - linked to memories of Candeloro, Saint Bragia’s childhood friend and confidante, the builder of the six Eyes of the Sun, blessing the petitioner with hallowed insight. Close your eyes and receive a +36 bonus to your next roll or check. Usable one time per day.</span>
Well, anon, time to choose. Pick your poison and raise the knife. Soralisa will help you through your ordeal and you will gain your permanent bonus.
