SANCTIFICATION

Cost: 2 Tension
Duration: One Scene
Action: Simple
Clash: Intellect + Legend vs. Desperation
Cooldown: The scene ends; or after a successfulClash of Wills by another character.
The Antagonist sanctifies the terrain, charging it with mystical energy through their Dominion. Choose a Purview over which the Antagonist has Dominion when creating the Antagonist. For the remainder of the scene, any expression of divine magic in tune with the Sanctified Purview (fire attacks in an area under Fire Sanctification, for example) gain +2 Enhancement. Furthermore, opposing elements (for instance, water in the aforementioned example) suffer +3 Complication.

Storyguides may spend additional Tension to apply specific Dominion Stunts on a one-for-one basis,  subject to the normal limitations of Dominion Stunts. These stunts are available both to Antagonists and player characters.

While Sanctification is most obvious when applied to basic elemental Purviews such as Fire, Water, etc., there’s no reason it couldn’t be applied to any Purview, given sufficient imagination. Artistry (Music) Sanctification, for example, could drag the field of battle into a musical number, and anyone not in-step with the music would suffer the Complication.
