Sight Beyond Reckoning
As you peer into the depths of the Crown that blazes before you and see ten thousand,
thousand eyes staring back like the blossoms of some alien tree on branches of green flame and those you take up, resolute. Through them all things can be seen, you know as surely as you know your own name.
If I'm gonna be damned then it will damn well be with my eyes wide open and I will never, never do anything like what I did to Rosie out of ignorance.
Though your hands are still nailed to the tree with shards of ice you do not need them for this. By will alone you raise the crown until it is above your head, looking down at you, not with many eyes, but a single great lidless eye waiting to serve. The part of you that is still the little girl who used to smuggle a dogeared copy to Fellowship to camp so you could read it 'authentically' wonders:
Am I Sauron now?
Just as the crown lays on your headless fire envelops you, you make a sound such as you do not imagine these halls have ever heard from their prisoners, you giggled. The power flows into you like wine, like ice and fire, like the song and shadow of great things long past.
Great things that will be again, Usum assures you and you nod as you look upon the Scarecrow. As you look with the eyes of blooming power all-around at the thing that had kidnapped you, the thing that had tortured you that in its twisted way had been your first teacher in matters of magic... and you see that it is hollow, an old lie that had tricked itself into thinking that it was true, and you see that it is weak as the kindling it had chosen to take for its shape. The tree cannot hold you, you are not the weak
stupid little girl who was dragged in here who knows how long ago, the fetch cannot hunt you, at least no more than the moth hunts the flame.

Character Sheet so far
OOC: I am pretty new to the system, but I thought I would point out some fun combinations, like getting the wish spell early with anima control so that you can walk around granting wishes like a guardian angel without flaring into demonic fire. Another Option exorcising the Fallen. Yes, that will work even if the Denarian is unwilling to let go, exaltation says 'fuck your paradigm, Holy Theion says so' as long as you make the roles. Proper link to the book this time.
