Cursed Class: Purity Acolyte (Alpha 0.1)
🕑 Added 2022-11-13 09:36:58 +0000 UTCThroughout the Realm of Mortals, there are a litany of ways in which unsuspecting adventurers may be transformed, altered, or corrupted. While some of these effects may be reversed through a transformation-specific means, the most common and surefire means of reversing a transformation is undergo a ritual of purification. While in most cases, these rituals are completely safe and harmless, if a ritual is performed by a particular over-zealous priest of the Church of Purification, they may double down on the removal of corruption to the point in which they alter the target's mind, causing them to become a Purity Acolyte. This alteration is quite potent, slowly overriding a creatures capabilities and mind until their capabilities are designed nearly exclusively to expunge corruption and their thoughts revolve around their loyalty to the Church of Purification.
