Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Pledging Procedures

For the price of your blood and loyalty, these sanctified waters offer stat upgrades, feeding the appetite of the ravenous divines. After all, what is a god without worship?

In exchange for sacrificing your blood, there is a chance the gods will increase your stats. Each god specializes in 2 stats, as follows:

Adoyne: Agility & Stealth
Melaya: Ranged & Speed
Rafyre: Combat & Strength
Dakrym: Constitution & Endurance

Deities can only increase the stats they specialize in. The more times you consecutively pledge to the same god, the higher your chances of successfully upgrading your stats. Your chances reach their peak after 10 consecutive pledges, meaning your chances will no longer increase from the 11th pledge onward. If you should switch to a new god, it will reset your chances for all 4 divines.
To pledge to a god and increase your stats through their power, create a thread here labeled "Pledging" and write a 200-400 word IC post describing your character injuring themselves in any manner that draws blood and submerging the wound in the Cascades. Include which deity you are sacrificing to and link to any preceding threads that pledge to the same god without interruption, up to 10 threads. Lastly, post in Invocation to alert staff.
Staff will then roll dice to determine if your stats will be upgraded. Dice face 1 indicates success and all other faces mean you will receive nothing. If this is your first time pledging to a specific god or your chances were reset by switching gods, then a 20-sided dice is rolled with dice face 1 meaning success and 2-19 meaning failure. Every time you pledge to the same god sequentially, the amount of faces is reduced by 2. Therefore, if you are pledging to the same god for the 10th+ time in a row, the dice will only have 2 faces, giving you a 50/50 chance.
If successful, staff will roll another dice with 2 faces to determine which stat type you will receive of the 2 fields your chosen god specializes in. Dice face 1 represents whichever stat is named first and dice face 2 represents the second stat in the above list of each divine's specialties.
If successful in acquiring a stat upgrade, a final 2-sided dice roll selects if your character will remain healthy, dice face 1, or catch an infection, dice face 2. If unsuccessful in acquiring a stat upgrade, the dice has 5 faces instead, with dice faces 1-4 representing health and dice faces 5 representing an infection. Infections require 1 treatment post to heal in the Torrid Cauldron, listed as "Ethereal Cascades Infection" in the "ailment" field of your character's mini-profile.
Your attempts do not have to be successful for them to count toward your consecutive pledges to increase your chances.
You may use this system once every 72 hours. If you receive an infection, you may not pledge again for 72 hours after you are fully healed.
