    desc: "⬺ ([[curse]], [[divine]], [[evocation]]); __Frequency__ once per day  __Effect__  The balisse marks an evil creature within its confessor's aura as irredeemable. It can only do so after a failed attempt to convince the creature to repent. The touched creature takes a –1 status penalty to AC and saves, reduces its resistances by 2, and gains weakness 2 to good damage. The duration depends on the target's DC 26 Will save.\n__Critical Success__ The creature is unaffected.\n__Success__ The duration is 1 round.\n__Failure__ The duration is 1 day.\n__Critical Failure__ The duration is permanent."

  - name: "Guiding Angel"
    desc: "⬻ ([[divine]], [[transmutation]]);  While [[invisible|invisible]], a balisse can spiritually attach itself to a non-evil mortal. When it does so, it merges with the mortal's body and is unable to use any of its spells and abilities other than to interact with the mortal. It must use Guiding Angel again to leave the mortal. While merged with the mortal, the balisse can take a form of its choice that only the mortal can see, such as a small angel on the mortal's shoulder. Alternatively, it can communicate with the mortal using a bodiless voice only the mortal can hear."
