Tefnut (LL)

__TOC__
==Tefnut (intermediate god)==
The wife and sister of Shu, Tefnut embodies the moisture of the atmosphere. Her power is seen in the wrath of a storm or in the gentle dew found on plants at sunrise. As one might guess, she is sometimes fierce and angry and other times loving and gentle.
Villages in need of rain often call upon Tefnut to send them her life-giving gift while those in the grip of a great storm plead with her to spare them and turn her attention elsewhere.
Tefnut's true form is that of a slender, attractive woman with the head of a sleek lion. The air around her smells of rain and lightning and her voice is the deep rumble of distant thunder. Omens from Tefnut always come in the form of storms or rain.
Statistics: AL ng; WAL any; AoC storms, rain, and running water; SY pyramid and sun.
==Tefnut's Avatar (wizard 20, priest 15)==
Tefnut's avatar comes only in the form of a slender woman with the head of a lioness. She is often accompanied by 1-6 lionesses who obey her every spoken command and defend her without pause. She has access to any school of magic or to the all, animal, astral, elemental, summoning, sun, or weather spheres for her spells.

Special Att/Def: In combat, Tefnut's avatar can command her sword to transform itself into a stroke of lightning. Anyone hit by this weapon suffers normal damage and then must save versus spells or take an additional 5d20 points of electrical damage. In addition, she can unleash a lightning bolt (as per the spell) from her eyes in combat and is unaffected by any weapon of less than +3 enchantment.
==Duties of the Priesthood==
Tefnut expects her priests to cherish the storms that she sends to earth. As such, they are often found standing outside during fierce downpours that have caused everyone else to scurry for shelter.
