Description This invocation allows the High Priest to store one rank 7 Banish Good Spirit invocation within their body for release upon the utterance of a specific trigger phrase (such as "By the Evil Sphere I Banish thee!") without the need for the usual ritual or being invoked.
The Banish Good Spirit 7 is cast as part of the ceremony required to cast the Banish Good Spirit 9. The High Priest will be out 16 power whilst the Banish Good Spirit 9 is in effect (9 for the rank 9 and 7 for the Banish Good Spirit).

At rank 9 the High Priest may store 4 Cause Mortal 5 invocations within the Cause Mortal 9. The caster will be out 9 Power for the Cause Mortal 9 and 5 power for each Cause Mortal 5 invocation stored within. The Rank 9 ceases to be in effect when the last stored Cause Mortal 5 is released.
At rank 10 the High Priest may store 8 Cause Mortal 5 invocations within the Cause Mortal 10. The caster will be out 10 Power for the Cause Mortal 10 and 5 power for each Cause Mortal 5 invocation stored within. The Rank 10 ceases to be in effect when the last stored Cause Mortal 5 is released.
A character may only have a single Rank 9 or 10 Cause Mortal invocation in effect at a time.

Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description This invocation allows the High Priest to store one rank 8 Greater Curse invocation within their body for release upon the utterance of a specific trigger phrase (such as "By the Evil Sphere I bestow upon you great ill fortune!") without the need for the usual ritual or being invoked.
The Greater Curse 8 is cast as part of the ceremony required to cast the Curse 9. The High Priest will be out 17 power whilst the Curse 9 is in effect (9 for the Curse 9 and 8 for the stored Greater Curse). Once the Rank 8 Greater Curse is released all 17 power may be restored normally.
A character may only have a single Rank 9 Curse invocation in effect at a time.
Death Pact 10
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description The High Priest makes a pact with the Evil Sphere to exact retribution upon those who would use Death's Touch against them.
If the recipient of a Death Pact is ever struck by a successful Touch of Evil Invocation of ranks 6 - 8 then the Death Pact will immediately release the same rank Touch of Evil upon the caster of the Touch of Evil. The High Priest with the Death Pact still suffers the effect of the Touch of Evil but so does his attacker. Once a Death Pact has triggered in this way it ceases to be in effect. Death Pact will otherwise remain in effect until released or until the caster is slain.
The High Priest should indicate the effect. by shouting a unique trigger phrase followed by the name of the Touch of Evil invocation to be reflected. For example High Priest Scumgrief is struck with a Maim invocation (a rank 6 Touch of Evil), he calls "In renew my pact with Death, Maim!" in at his attacker and then collapses to floor suffering from the Maim invocation, as does his assailant.
Master of Pain 9, 10
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description The High Priest calls upon the Power of the Evil Sphere to allow him access to it's destructive power more easily.
At Rank 9 any Cause Mortal invocation of ranks 1 - 8 cast using full vocals costs one less power than usual. Thus the High Priest may cast Cause Mortal 5 for only 4 power each time. This decrease in cost only applies when full vocals are used and does not apply if the Cause Mortals are triggered by a Cause Mortal 9 for example. Cause Mortal invocations of ranks 6 - 8 cast using Invoke Sphere do benefit from this reduction.
At Rank 10 the High Priest gains the same benefits as the rank 9 Master of Pain invocation and also may cast Cause Mortal 6 at vocal length, without the need for an Invoked Sphere. Cause Mortal 6's cast in this way cost 10 Power rather than the usual 6. The cost of Cause Mortals cast in this way is not reduced by Master of Pain.
You do not need to have a Master of Pain 9 in effect to benefit from a Master of Pain 10.
Power Steal 9
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description The High Priest calls upon the Power of the Evil Sphere to tear the spiritual essence from his target.
Power Steal 9 enables the caster to trigger a Rank 8 Power Steal invocation using a specific command phrase (such as "Your power now be mine"). Power Steal 9 will remain in effect until triggered, released or the caster is slain. No additional power need be expended to cast the Power Steal 8, this ability is granted by the Power Steal 9.
Shroud of Ushaz 9, 10
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description At Rank 9 this invocation allows the High Priest to store one rank 7 Shroud of Ushaz invocation within their body for release upon the utterance of a specific trigger phrase (such as "I summon forth Evil's Armour!") without the need for the usual ritual or being invoked.
The Shroud of Ushaz 7 is cast as part of the ceremony required to cast the Shroud of Ushaz 9. The High Priest will be out 16 power whilst the Shroud of Ushaz 9 is in effect (9 for the rank 9 and 7 for the stored Shroud of Ushaz). Once the Rank 7 Shroud is released all 16 power may be restored normally.
At Rank 10 this invocation allows the High Priest to store two rank 7 Shroud of Ushaz invocations within their body for release upon the utterance of a specific trigger phrase (such as "I summon forth Evil's Armour!") without the need for the usual ritual or being invoked. This works in exactly the same way as the rank 9 Shroud of Ushaz but the caster would be out 24 power rather than 16.
A character may only have a single Shroud of Ushaz invocation of rank 9 or 10 in effect at a time.
Unhallowed Ground 9
Range Touch
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description This invocation allows the High Priest casting it to dedicate an area of ground to his Sphere. The area in question should be marked by a casting mat and ritual components covering an area no smaller than a 6 ft. diameter circle. The components in question should be checked with the player referee, at the start of the adventure, to ensure that they meet the minimum requirements for cosmic casting. Once set up this casting area cannot be disturbed by anyone other than the caster who can only remove it by releasing the invocation.
The Unhallowed area allows the High Priest to cast further cosmic invocations within it. This is the only way in which Cosmic invocations can be cast away from the Sect's ceremony areas situated outside of the Towers.
In order to cast a cosmic invocation the High Priest must first invoke within the Unhallowed area (requiring 5 minutes and their normal casting kit) followed by a 15 minute ritual dedicated to the cosmic invocation they are attempting to cast. No time reduction will be made on these castings as excellent casting kit and vocals are required for Cosmic Invocations.
