Excommunication

The real thing, the Excommunication done by the Order of Priests, is far more devastating than anything the Initiate Churches are capable of on their own. The Priests use their influence over belief to make people forget about the target entirely, to such a point that the person begins to cease to exist!
Photos of the target will be erased or he will be subtracted from them, computer databases will fail to remember information on him, even his driver's license will go blank. Friends and family will struggle to remember what he even looks like, the memory of him exiting their minds the second the target leaves the room! Eventually... they will just fade away to somewhere else, and only the Order of Priests will have known they ever existed in the first place.
Excommunication is considered the gravest of powers and is only conducted by the highest ranking members of the Order. Even then it is only ever performed in the most dire of circumstances.
Note: Excommunication does not work effectively on members of the Natural Orders. Because their Orders are Natural, both their communal and individual natures are based on truth and reason, and not on the kind of faith which fuels the power of Excommunication, they have little to fear from it (for their sake, they had better be right).
