**Abilities**

**CHAINS OF THE MAIDEN:** Once per day, as a full- round action the wielder of Athee’al can use the blade to call heavenly chains to restrain a number of creatures equal to a quarter the cairns of the wielder for 1 round per 2 cairns of the wielder. Creatures are considered pinned for the duration. A reflex save of (33 + Half the Cairns of the wielder + Current Enhancement Bonus) can negate the restraint.

**RALLYING CRY:** A number of times per day equal to the wielder’s level, they may raise Athee’al to inspire their allies as a full-round action. A number of creatures equal to a quater of the wielders cairns, may be inspired them. This counts as the spells *Bless, Prayer* and *Aid* however, they are also fearless. These effects last for half the wielder’s cairns in rounds.

**DAMNING STRIKE:** As a full-round action, the wielder can make a single strike and subject the target to double damage and cause the creature struck to be both blind, deaf, and its’ movement speed halved. This effect is permanent unless the target makes a fortitude save of (33 + Half the Cairns of the wielder + Current Enhancement Bonus), in which case it lasts a number of round equal to half the cairns of the wielder.

**JAIL OF THE DAMNED:** Athee’al is a rare thing called a Runic Blade. This is a blade that traps the souls of those slain inside the blade. If they haven’t committed crimes, or served their penance and repented their souls are released to its’ proper plane. Otherwise they are stored in the blade. The wielder may talk to these souls and draw on their knowledge in a one minute ritual. Ending this effect is a full round action. This effect is always active but the wielder doesn’t know about it until they gain this ability.

**RIME OF TRUTH:** Call down the icy wrath of Truth once per day as a full round action. A number of targets equal to the level of the wielder within sight must make a save (33 + Half the Cairns of the wielder + Current Enhancement Bonus) or be forced to reveal a hidden secret. If they do not have one, or do not reveal one they are frozen in body and mind bt divine ice for a number of rounds equal to half the cairns of the wielder.
