The sacred barrier is generally a complicated
pattern drawn, carved, or etched onto a surface. One common manifestation of
this miracle is the pentagram as used to confine summoned demons. Treat the
barrier as a ward with a Strength equal to the faith total of the
invoking priest. The surface onto which the barrier is drawn also modifies the
strength of the ward. See the "Surface Modifier Table."
