Celestialism
| Only available to Celestines, this specialization in cosmic magic creates a bond between the adept and Celestia, the Plane of Light. Ruling over angelic beings of Celestia are the Holy Supernals, to whom Celestines pledge themselves. Upon gaining a pledge, the Holy Supernal will send forth an angelic companion to assist in the great works of the Light. |

Wings
| Syntax |
| STARCALL WINGS |
Angelic wings are yours for the asking, allowing you to fly like an angel.
Link
| Syntax |
| STARCALL LINK NODE [num] |
Travel to the astral plane and link to a wild energy node. This will automatically channel its latent powers directly into the Pool of Stars. You may either link permanently, or specify the number of links you wish to drain before automatically unlinking.
Nodes of power recoup drained energies faster the fuller they are, and so draining them beyond reasonable limits will seriously impair their potential.
Blessed
| Syntax |
| PLEDGE <supernal> PLEDGES |
| Power: 10 (Pool of Stars) (to pledge) |
You are considered a Blessed One by the Holy Supernals of Celestia and may PLEDGE yourself to one of them. Your pledge can be seen when meditating upon PLEDGES, which also reveals what investable powers are granted. The first Holy Supernal pledged by a Celestine is seen as an indicator of the general path that Celestine will travel throughout his or her life, even if that person subsequently pledges to other Holy Supernals; thus, the first pledge is generally made only after a period of inner contemplation and meditation.
Note that you can also BREAK a pledge, which will also break deep bonds (if you have one). You must be standing in front of the appropriate Supernal to BREAK the pledge.
PLEDGING ELOHORA: Those Celestines who travel the path of the Lady of Light often become leaders among peers and diplomats to those who have yet to see the Light. Elohora grants both offensive and defensive powers that may be invested into angelic companions.
PLEDGING METHRENTON: As can be expected, the path of the Crusaders are for those Celestines who are more militant and fervent in bringing to Light to others. Methrenton grants offensive powers that may be invested into angelic companions.
PLEDGING SHAKINIEL: The Dawning Hope Celestines are no less fighters than the Crusaders, but are focused on protecting those already following the Light. Shakiniel grants investable powers that confuse and obfuscate enemies of the Light.
PLEDGING JAPHIEL: Celestines who pledge Japhiel prefer the path of judges and mediators, more interested in fairness, truth and divine justice than anything else. Japhiel grants investable powers that play upon the mind.
PLEDGING RAZIELA: None are more revered than those who follow the path of the smallest Holy Supernal. The road of Loving Radiance is for the gentler and kinder souls. Raziela grants investable powers of a purely defensive nature.
Cherub
| Syntax |
| STARCALL COMPANION STARCALL COMPANION DISMISS |
| Power: 5* (Pool of Stars) (to call the companion) *Note: There is no power cost to call a companion that is already summoned or if it is summoned on Celestia itself. |
The Holy Supernals of Celestia will grant you the companionship of a beatific cherub, who may be invested with two powers.
INVESTING POWERS INTO AN ANGELIC COMPANION: The specific powers granted by a pledged Holy Supernal allows you to INVEST those powers into your divine companion. You may invest no more powers than your companion is able to learn, though you may invest less if you wish. STARBOND will list the powers invested into your angelic companion.
Angelcloak
| Syntax |
| STARCALL ANGELCLOAK <ON|OFF> |
While your angelic companion is cloaked, he or she will not be easily visible, and will move entirely silently.
Sanctified
Your path on the Light is showing promise, such that you are now considered a Sanctified One. You may pledge up to two Holy Supernals of Celestia. See AB CELESTIALISM BLESSED.
Deva
Your faith has not gone unnoticed by the Holy Supernals of Celestia. You will now be sent a divine deva as your divine companion. A deva may be invested with three powers. See AB CELESTIALISM CHERUB.
Atone
| Syntax |
| STARCALL ATONE <target> |
Performing the atonement service on another will help purify their soul and leave them defenseless before the Light.
Halo
| Syntax |
| STARCALL HALO |
| Damage Modifier: 1/8 universal resistance |
A divine halo is for the truly blessed and will reduce all damage dealt to you.
Righteousness
| Syntax |
| STARCALL RIGHTEOUSNESS |
| Power: 1 (Pool of Stars) |
By rallying your angelic companion, the next attack your companion makes will discharge two powers instead of one.
Holy
The purity of your soul is such that your inner being is transformed into that of a Holy One. You may pledge up to three Holy Supernals of Celestia. See AB CELESTIALISM BLESSED.
Channels
| Syntax |
| OPEN CHANNELS |
| Power: 10 |
This power will open up aetheric channels between you and summoned planar entities. Once such channels are open, you will not use any equilibrium when summoning (though you must have equilibrium).
Opening your channels while on Celestia will only require half the normal power cost.
Angel
Your bonds with the Holy Supernals of Celestia have reached a point where they will send you a seraphic angel as your divine companion. An angel may be invested with five powers. See AB CELESTIALISM CHERUB.
Stigmata
| Syntax |
| STARCALL STIGMATA ON/OFF |
The mark of the holy stigmata will help regenerate the powers of your spirit, but at the cost to your body.
You will attempt to cure a random spiritual affliction that ails you, costing 2% of your maximum health. Should you succeed to cure an affliction, it will cost 10% of your maximum health.
Jinx, Aeon, Powerspikes or other afflictions that cost power will not be cured by Stigmata.
Beckon
| Syntax |
| STARCALL BECKON [<target>] |
Your divine companion can beckon your enemies who are in adjacent rooms to you. You may also bring an individual to you by specifying a single target.
Exalted
Your soul has truly become a bastion of the Light, and you are now considered an Exalted One. You may pledge up to four Holy Supernals of Celestia. See AB CELESTIALISM BLESSED.
Archangel
The Holy Supernals of Celestia are much pleased with your holiness and have deemed that none other than a celestial archangel will do as your divine companion. An archangel may be invested with seven powers. See AB CELESTIALISM CHERUB.
Symbol
| Syntax |
| PLEDGE DEEP <supernal> |
| Power: 10 |
One of the most important and difficult tasks a Celestine undertakes is forming a deep bond with a Holy Supernal. This can only be accomplished after bringing supplicants to worship before the tabernacle that corresponds to the Holy Supernal with whom the bond is being sought. Once enough supplicants are brought (and it takes quite a lot), the Celestine may journey to Celestia and seek to form a deep bond with that Holy Supernal.
A Celestine may only ever have one deep bond with a Holy Supernal. This reflects a special relationship between Supernal and Celestine and should be given much thought. If a pledge is ever broken, so too will the deep bond be broken.
| Syntax |
| SYMBOL CALL SYMBOL STRIKE <target> |
| Damage Type: 100% Divinus Energy Damage Source: Magical |
Once a Celestine forms a deep bond with a Supernal, he or she may call forth a symbol of that Supernal. This symbol must be wielded in order for its powers to be enabled. It can strike an enemy as a weapon, as well as being able to directly evoke one of the powers of the Holy Supernal whose symbol it represents (i.e., an investible power). Finally, wielding the symbol adds a small protective field around the Celestine, though the field is stronger depending upon which symbol it is:
- Elohora initially offers more protection against blunt damage.
- Methrenton initially offers more protection against fire damage.
- Shakiniel initially offers more protection against cutting damage.
- Japhiel initially offers more protection against cold damage.
- Raziela initially offers more protection against poison damage.
Empower
| Syntax |
| STARCALL EMPOWER |
| Power: 1 (Pool of Stars) |
When your body and mind are at their weakest, you may call upon your angelic companion to empower you.
AngelHeal
| Syntax |
| STARCALL COMPANION HEAL |
Sacrifice your lifeforce for your angel companion.
Radiance
| Syntax |
| STARCALL RADIANCE <target> |
| Damage Type: 50% Divinus 50% Electrical Damage Source: Magical |
The light of the stars is both dazzling and divine - few can stand against its energies. Using your symbol, cast a radiant storm of energy upon your enemies, and the unclean shall surely suffer.
Wrath
| Syntax |
| STARCALL WRATH |
| Power: 5 (Pool of Stars) |
During times of great need, you can arouse your angelic companion to a righteous wrath. For the next 10 attacks, your companion will perform 2 powers instead of one.
Divine
Indeed, you are the epitome of Light, and your soul shines forth as one of the Divine Ones. You may pledge to all five Holy Supernals of Celestia. See AB CELESTIALISM BLESSED.
Embrace
| Syntax |
| STARCALL EMBRACE |
| Power: 10 (Pool of Stars) |
Further embrace your link with Celestia and the Supernals and you shall tap into newfound power.
Using this skill will allow you to cast the following abilities:
