Mebhaighl Touch (Quest Spell)

Ruornil's priests are few and scattered. Their leaders generally control small holdings in the forests of Cerilia, hidden from prying eyes. They concern themselves with Ruornil's war against the Shadow and strive to make themselves powerful enough to resist it.
When a priest regent of Ruorail finds himself unable to tap his holdings for the energy to cast a realm spell (if he is out of range of his ley lines, for example), he can cast mebhaighl touch. The spell directly affects the casting priest, allowing him to tap the magical energy of a single province. He must remain within the same province for the duration of the spell (as soon as he leaves its bound­aries, the spell ends). He is able to cast realm spells as if the unclaimed source holdings in the area were temple holdings under his control. The priest can then cast any realm spell he knows, using the meb­haighl as a source holding.
Example: Ruorlen, a 15th level priest, has fled his enemies to Cariele – specifically, the province of Mountainsedge (3/4). Currently, the only source holding in the province is a source (0) held by the Eyeless One. Ruorlen, who has been granted meb­haighl touch, can cast it to tap mebhaighl as the equivalent of a temple (4) holding. Over the next three months, Ruorlen can cast as many as three realm spells in Mountainsedge that require a hold­ing level of 4 or less.
Notes: Granted by Ruornil of Cerilia, the Birthright setting.
