Dispel Prayer Effect
Definition

This prayer dispels the effect of an active prayer upon the subject.

Divine Sanctuary
Definition

4 FP; Traits: Caster
This spell creates an impenetrable barrier around the caster through which only sound and air can pass. Any effect that is delivered by sound or air (i.e., a bard song or poison gas) will bypass the sanctuary. The caster can include one other person inside the sanctuary, provided that the person is within reach of her outstretched arm at the time of casting and is conscious and willing. The sanctuary appears instantly in place, has a radius equal to the length of the caster’s outstretched arm, and molds around all inanimate objects that have a greater length or width than the sanctuary’s radius, leaving them outside the sanctuary.  The sanctuary will remain in existence for as long as the caster stands with one arm outstretched, palm facing out; the caster cannot switch hands once the spell has been cast, but can choose whichever she prefers at the time of casting. The caster cannot move while maintaining this spell. The additional occupant cannot leave the sanctuary, but must wait until it is dispelled; she can move around to the extent possible within the sanctuary, however, allowing her to reposition herself behind the caster, for example.

Divine Sphere of Protection
Definition

6 FP; Traits: Caster
This prayer creates an impenetrable sphere in a ten-foot radius around the caster, through which only sound and air can pass. Any effect that is delivered by sound or air (i.e., a bard song or poison gas) will bypass the sphere. The sphere appears instantly in place and molds around all inanimate objects that have a greater length or width than the sphere’s radius, leaving them outside the sphere. It will remain in existence for as long as the caster stands motionless, head down, chanting the prayer words of her deity. Any interruption in the chanting, unless during an official hold in game-play, will cause the sphere to dispel.

The opponent has no free will of her own whatsoever and cannot act on her own initiative, except where that initiative would directly aid in successfully completing an order given to her by the caster. The opponent can only be coerced into answering three questions by means of this prayer, after which the opponent is able to refuse to answer – though she if she chooses to answer she cannot lie.
