Description
This spell allows the caster to invoke a very serious holy upon a victim. Sikkar's virtues are serious standards to be held against, and few evil victims walk away from the experience unscathed.
Notes
Cardinal virtues is also what happens to the target of a fumbled Templar spell (level 20+) without the mitigating effects of a cherub from the Summon Cherubim spell.
Cardinal virtues is more of a thematic spell for the Templar guild, as opposed to one that has any practical use against mobs. It randomly inflicts one of seven effects on the target, detailed below. Stat loss effects are temporary and randomized, and do stack.
Virtue: Charity
Message: You are overcome by the Infused Virtue of Charity! You love Sikkar above all things for His own sake, and your neighbor for the sake of Sikkar. (The bank charges you 50 gold for the bank transaction. {If applicable})
Effect: You lose a random amount of gold from your bank account (Exact range of values unknown but most likely a few hundred gold)
Virtue: Faith
Message: You are overcome by the Infused Virtue of Faith! Your intellect assents to the truth revealed by Sikkar, because of the authority of Sikkar.
Effect: Temporary Int loss
Virtue: Fortitude
Message: You are overcome by the Cardinal Virtue of Fortitude! Your soul is strengthened to pursue moral good that is difficult to obtain, despite any obstacle.
Effect: Temporary Luk loss (significant enough to change message in score)
Virtue: Hope
Message: You are overcome by the Infused Virtue of Hope! You desire Sikkar as the highest good, and by which you expect with a firm confidence that He, because of His infinite goodness and power, will bring you to eternal happiness and, in this life, give you all the grace necessary to reach that happiness.
Effect: Temporary Wis loss
Virtue: Justice
Message: You are overcome by the Cardinal Virtue of Justice! You are filled with the need to punish evil and reward good!
Effect: Temporary Per loss ("Justice is blind")
Virtue: Prudence
Message: You are overcome by the Cardinal Virtue of Prudence! Your intellect is inclined to select every instance that is the best means of accomplishing your aim in view of your ultimate purpose in life.
Effect: Temporary Cha loss
Virtue: Temperance
Message: You are overcome by the Cardinal Virtue of Temperance! Temperance regulates, according to reason and faith, the attraction toward pleasures of sense, particularly the attraction toward food and drink and sexual pleasure.
