Contact Interruption

The Divine Contact is a ritual involving sacred incense, a chalk circle, and carefully drawn symbols used to contact a Lunar God for guidance or aid. This ritual communion manifests as a kind of "call", an illusory vision that entirely takes over the senses of the ritual participants.   Safia, the False Halcyon can, it seems, invade these "calls" and visions to impose her will on them. She can keep her influence subtle and restrained to spy on a Divine Contact communion or she can take it over entirely to impose her own will on the ritual participants. She prefers to use these opportunities to bribe, intimidate, or torment her surprised subjects, rather than to use this power to impersonate Lunar Gods or to disseminate false information.   Safia, the False Halcyon cannot do this simply anywhere and seems to require nearby agents or corruptive tools to perform a contact interruption.   Contact interruption also works to interrupt Paladin's connections to their Lunar Gods. This most often manifests as total interruption between the paladin and their God, but it also can manifest as nightmares and dark impulses. Unlike with The Divine Contact, a paladin's connection to the God is not so direct and powerful to allow Safia to torture paladins freely.
