Exorcery is an school of magic practiced only by a select few in Quelmar history. Exorcerism is the magic of purifying one's spirit, and the magic of manifesting one's "Inner Demons" as external, actual demons.
Uses
In the 460s PR, the wizard Chet Sexton had an exorcerism performed on him in the town of Warukami, which removed a large portion of his noble born pride, a character trait he carried from his royal upbringing as a noble's son in Galik.
Process
- The subject of the inner demon exorcizing is strapped into a chair
- A three step form of magical "therapy" begins, in which designated fighters or allies of the subject gear themselves up to handle the crises of the subject.
Therapy Step | DC | Effect | Success Result | Failed Result |
