Sanctity

Sanctity serves as a measure of one's spiritual and/or physical purity and connection to divine energies, indicating the degree to which a character's body and soul conducts higher or sacred forces, regardless of their origins. This attribute can be strengthened through virtuous choices and by embracing one's ancestral heritage.

Possessing a higher purity of body, mind and soul not only confers resistance to malevolent magical influences but also fosters clear-mindedness, often leading to greater mastery over mostly intuitive abilities, like Galdr.

Sanctity is attributed to the Sound element, as individuals with purity of spirit and inner harmony resonate with the uplifting and harmonious vibrations of sound.

Effects

• +1 Sound ATK per point.
• +2 HP and FP per point.
• +1% resistance to Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, Dark, Water, Light, and Lightning per 6 points.

​Racial Bonuses

Sanctity directly affects characters from races with divine or special lineage, as for example, the Serpentkind or the Ancients, boosting their inherent advantages, while the Corrupted suffer penalties, as Sanctity counter-acts their corruption. For races that do not hold special or divine origins, like Humans and Mechanations, enhancing their purity may seem more about vanity than genuine growth.
