Communion

Answers: Each question receives a simple “yes” or “no” answer. The answers are guaranteed to be true.

Usage limit: Communion may be cast once per week. The Referee can limit it to once per month if overused.

St Clewyd: For theologically unclear reasons, St Clewyd does not respond to this spell.

The miracle of St Elsa, Balm-Gusher: As the vicar of a coastal village, Elsa received a vision of a great flood on the eve of the feast of St Whittery. Heeding this prophecy, she insisted that a high tower be built, with enough space to house the inhabitants of the village and their livestock. The project was regarded by many as a folly, but the saint’s visions were vindicated when a great sea dragon, hunted by the famed knight Sir Willowthorn, was beached and slain, opening a sea bay which engulfed the village. To this day, the saint’s tower is the sole surviving element of the original settlement. Patronages: Floods, towers, hunters of sea monsters, (follies).
