Show/Hide Examples (Contains Spoilers)

Sequence 9: Bard

New Abilities

• Singing:^⁂ They can imbue all sorts of effects to themselves and allies through their Singing, a sort of "job" that brought about devotion and submission.
  • Bards can imbue courage, dispel Fear, enhance strength, as well as bring forth a degree of spiritual recovery, agility, speed, and other attributes through their Singing.
    • For believers of the Eternal Blazing Sun, a Bard's Singing will also have the effect of deepening their piety and improving their obedience.
  • Apart from being able to bestow physical enhancements, courage, bring forth a degree of spiritual recovery, etc. their Singing isn't able to do anything else.
• Physical Enhancement: Upon advancement, their physical condition would be strengthened.

Sequence 8: Light Suppliant

New Abilities

• They can use a limited number of Spells from the Sun Domain, consisting of Light and Fire, that are effective against the undead and other Evil Spirits.
  • Sunshine: A Light Suppliant can create a Light like the scorching Sun at noon, which can cause great damage to corpses and ghosts, and affect the vision of other creatures.
  • Blessing: They can Bless themselves and their allies, reducing the effects of Fear, Cold, Darkness, and Death effects while enhancing their damage towards the undead.
  • Daytime: A Light Suppliant can allow the surrounding ten meters to receive Light, and this produced Light will naturally spread to further distances.
  • Night Vision: A Light Suppliant can light two "miniature Suns" in their eyes to see through Darkness and thus achieve Night Vision.

• Knowledge (Mysticism): They have knowledge of Ritualistic Magic within the Sun Domain.
  • Some things that can only be accomplished in later Sequences can be done by a Light Supplicant through their Ritualistic Magic knowledge.
    • They can summon a pure beam of Fiery Light through this.
    • They are able to make Holy Water using Rituals
• Evil Detection:^⁂ They can sense the presence of undead creatures and evil entities.

Sequence 7: Solar High Priest

New Abilities

• They gain numerous theurgical abilities within the Sun Domain that can truly Purify depraved influences. The divine knowledge that fills their mind includes these following new Spells.
  • Sun Halo: They can form a golden halo around their head that enhances the courage of their companions within a 20 meter distance as well as Purifies the Evil energies in them.
  • Sun Holy Water: Solar High Priests can imbue ordinary water with this spell to turn it into Sun Holy Water that can Exorcise Evil Spirits, drive away the cold, and Purify wraiths.
  • Holy Oath: Upon silently reciting the relevant ancient words, a Solar High Priest can temporarily strengthen one’s own strength, agility, fire damage, and holy damage.
  • Holy Light Summoning: Solar High Priests can summon a holy beam of Light from the sky to Purify the undead and inflict certain damage on other normal targets.
  • Cleave of Purification: They are able to imbue their physical attacks, weapons, and bullets with this Purification effect that is especially effective on wraiths.
  • Horror Immunity: Upon activation by a Solar High Priest, a warm power will instantly fill the body, making the target no longer feel any Fear.
    • Horror Immunity works both on passive influences and also on active mental attacks done by Evil influences that aim to hurt one's psyche and/or cause one to falter.
  • Fire of Light: Solar High Priests are able to instantly produce dense, golden, and holy Flames instantaneously at a target location.
    • These golden illusory Flames exude the majestic and pervasive aura of the Sun, and because of their density, they will form an ocean.
• Despite their expertise in Purification and Exorcism, those effects are not omnipotent.
  • The power of Purification and Exorcism works in the category of Evil, which includes the aura of depravity but not the undead. The latter isn't necessarily Evil, but can be Purified and Exorcised because it is incompatible with the real world and needs to return to the Spirit World.
    • Therefore, Purifying and Exorcising the undead will have less of an effect than doing it on distinctly Evil influences; however, in most cases it hardly makes a difference.
      • Under the same concept, Parasitization can be counteracted via Purification.

Strengthened Abilities

• Physical Enhancements: A Solar High Priest's body becomes stronger as well as gains considerable resistance against ailments and treacherous environments.

    • As a result of this, the Justice Mentor will gain a portion of the Contract and Order authorities— with the Contract authority being the subordinate authority to Order.

  • "They" are a true Sun that satisfies physical reality and mystical definitions, capable of emitting Light intense enough to illuminate or destroy entire worlds and star systems.
    • "They" can project immense Energy, generate ultra-high-temperature flames, and Purify all related filth and evil. This can also be done through sending out a blinding ray of Sunlight that shines through the Darkness and melts everything that it encounters along the way.
    • As the True Deity of the Sun Pathway, "They" are able to create countless miniature burning Suns that can intertwine into an abnormally blinding, almost-real golden Sun, emitting a scorching Light that could illuminate an entire Solar System.
  • "They" are able to create an Eternal Daytime in an area that could Purify filthy and evil objects, awaken sleeping creatures, and reveal everything that is Concealed.
