009 - Belief

Concept:

I’ve always had a deep fascination with religion and belief. I myself would never become religious, but it is interesting to me how people can draw strength from it, and gain contentment and justification for their existence through their belief. The universe is nigh-infinitely large from our perspective, and it can be incredibly difficult to feel a sense of purpose - placing faith in a god or higher power can help our existence feel justified, as though the being we may worship has a ‘plan’ for us. I also want to explore the concept of god within the UniverSim.

I want to make a Conjure that is empowered by their belief in a higher power, as though they are blessed with a part of this higher power

Research:

Translatable Qualities:

Since this Conjure gains power through their devotion, I think that translates more so into offense than it does any other archetype. I think a balanced Conjure fits best here, with a bias to offense.

Conjure Ideas:

I really enjoy the idea of religious tattoos/markings, as the imagery makes for a really appealing idea in my mind. They give a much more physical means of showcasing the power channeled through the Conjure. I can easily imagine the Conjure’s markings glowing when they use their power.

Through effects and colours, I want to try and emphasise just how powerful this Conjure is through their belief, as though divine energy is coursing through their veins.
