Fayth (skill)

Fayth

The abilities in Fayth revolve around two main things: Holy Seraphs and Spiritual Maces. When you gain the skill of Fayth, you will also get a guardian seraph, who will stay with you forever. Generally speaking, your seraph will only act in a defensive capacity, except when it involves demonic Entities. Seraphs and Demons have a long-standing hatred of each other.

Spiritual maces, on the other hand, form the core of a Cleric's offensive ability. By using them in different ways, the Cleric gains the ability to cause damage, smash limbs, and cause a variety of other effects, including the feared Judgement, where a Cleric stands in Judgement of a player. Failing the judgement means death. This is, of course, an ability that only the most powerful of Clerics may perform.

Unless there is a help file on an ability (which there are for all the mace-related abilities), the syntax to use an ability is SERAPH <ability name>.
