Completion: Once the task is completed, the spell ends.

Saving throw: The subject may Save Versus Spell to resist the holy compulsion, negating the effects of the spell.

The miracle of St Galaunt the Wonderworker: As an old man, St Galaunt dwelt as a hermit in the frost-marshes of the north, visited by pilgrims seeking his counsel. One day, a vain man named Hoggeld knocked upon the saint’s door, claiming to also be blessed by God and boastfully wishing to demonstrate his divine powers. In the presence of the true saint, Hoggeld’s supposed powers failed him. Galaunt commanded the shamed pilgrim journey south to retrieve the fabled chalice of St Indominant, lost for generations. For seventeen years did Hoggeld wander, seeking the fabled chalice. Finally uncovering it in the hoard of a desert demon, he brought it to the holy city of Loom, where it rests to this day. The return of the chalice was attributed largely to the wisdom of St Galaunt.
