			===Celestial Alignment===
			Ritual: Blessing, Prayer <br>
			Roll: Intuition+Theurgy<br>
			Duration: 1 Turn<br>
			Range: Self

			One of the earliest rites attributed to Saint Paulus, it was believed that his faith allowed him to navigate by the divine fire of the Pancreator, even under an alien sky. This rite allows the theurgist to pinpoint his exact location in space and time, relative to the closest stellar bodies or geographical features. When on a world the theurgist can learn exactly where he is in relation to places he is familiar with (such as a city he has visited or features of a map studied) as well as what time it is. When in space the theurgist may divine where he is (i.e. the ship he’s aboard), in relation to other stellar bodies, such as the distance to the system’s sun, the direction of the jumpgate, or his path in relation to a comet’s trajectory, etc. He needs to see only one familiar feature, such as the sun over a world, or a system’s gas giant planet, to realize the alignment of all other features and bodies of which he is aware. The theurgist may not, however, consider his location in relation to bodies and features he knows nothing about, and the rite will not bring him new discoveries, instead it simply organizes the spaces and places he is aware of, in relation to each other and himself.

			===Fruitful Multiplication===
			Ritual: Prayer, Sermon<br>
			Roll: Resolve+Theurgy<br>
			Duration: Instant<br>
			Range: Touch

			This rite increases the amount of some good, most typically food or water.

			===Hearth===
			Modes: B, P Threshold: 15/10
			Range: Touch Duration: Scene
			This rite creates what appears to be a campfire, generating
			enough light to see in a 10 meter radius, and can be used to boil
			water and cook food. The fire created is supernatural however,
			and causes no accidental or surplus heat or damage (and can
			thus be safely used even indoors or aboard spacecraft). It will
			not set other materials, no matter how flammable, afire, and it
			cannot be used to smelt ore or bake pottery. No fuel is needed,
			and oxygen is not consumed, but a cleared space must be prepared
			for the rite.

			===Lamp of the Traveler===
			Modes: B, P Threshold: 10/5
			Range: Self Duration: Scene
			This rite creates a glowing insubstantial sphere in the theurgist’s
			palm capable of casting enough light to read by in a 3
			meter radius. An alternate version of this rite creates a tight
			searchlight-type beam that extends from the theurgist’s palm,
			which can be used to search darkened rooms or dazzle enemies
			of the Faith. The range for this beam is 10 meters.

			===Oath to Saint Paulus===
			Modes: P, S Threshold: 15/10
			Range: Sensory Duration: Drama
			Inspired by the Oath of Fellowship that the saints pledged
			to one another at the time of their worst trial, this rite binds a
			group together in friendship and trust, and is a theurgical version
			of the sacrament of Holy Congress. The pledge must be made
			at the start of some specific task (lasting one drama), such as a
			journey or mission. Each member of the pledge receives a +2
			bonus to any goal number when navigating, tracking, searching
			or investigating the unknown. Theurgist members receive the
			same bonus when casting further rites of Saint Paulus.
			Betraying the pledge comes at a terrible price, as Oathbreaking
			is a Mortal Sin tarnishing one’s soul mirror. The +2 bonus
			is turned into a ‑2 penalty to all goal numbers, lasting until the
			offender is redeemed by undertaking a pilgrimage or some other
			holy trial. In addition, Oathbreaking theurgist members of the
			pledge can no longer call upon rites of Saint Paulus.

			===Safe Journey===
			Modes: S Threshold: 10
			Range: Touch Duration: Act
			This rite protects a group of travelers and/or a mode of transportation
			for the duration of a specific journey (no longer than
			an act). The travelers will be safe from accidents and side-effects
			of traveling. For example, they will not: be incidental targets
			of pirates or muggers, have their horse trip and fracture its leg,
			suffer a flat tire, be struck by lightning, etc. (ignore travel related
			Mishaps). They will also be safe from supernatural effects and
			threats, such as the Sathra effect going through a jumpgate (even
			if the Sathra dampers are disabled) and so on. The protection
			will not work if threats deliberately seek out the travelers, such
			as an enemy Baronet moving to arrest and plunder the cadre’s
			coach, nor will it protect from accidents suffered through reckless
			behavior or conduct going against common sense (pushing
			a horse to sprint over rocky ground at night, carrying a metal
			rod high during a thunderstorm, etc.). The Pancreator looks after
			his children, but he does not reward stupidity.
