The Mark

AX.GHW.08.06.04

A Sacred Fire Focus

The Mark is the Light-Bound Marked's lineage brand — the physical or metaphysical sign of the covenant. Like its Shadow-Bound counterpart, it cannot be lost, set down, or confiscated. It exists as part of the practitioner.

Mechanical Effect:
  The Mark provides +2D to all Radiance Expression rolls
  when the practitioner consciously channels through it —
  the covenant's physical brand focuses the radiant
  energy through the most direct channel available.
  When using Consecration, the Mark allows Bless to
  function as a Free Action (instead of Primary Action)
  once per scene. The covenant's blessing through the
  Mark's direct presence is faster than working through
  an object.
  The Mark is always visible to entities with Illuminated
  awareness, shadow awareness (who recognize it as
  a rival covenant), and high-level supernatural
  perception in general. It cannot be concealed from
  these sources.
  The Mark is the Focus. The practitioner is never
  without it, and never without the identification it
  provides to those who know what to look for.
Acquisition: The Mark was acquired with the lineage.
  It does not need to be sought or prepared.
