Religious Art & Music (sage study).jpg

Religious art & music is a sage study in the field of The Church, investing the character with a particular "spiritual strength." This is needed to inspire artistic creators of all kinds to create sacred objects worthy of divine recognition and immortality. The character pursuing this study is not an artist, but rather a patron that understands what great works need to be made — while also possessing the forceful temperament needed to bring about the funding and motivation for such work.

Therefore, the study is second-hand in nature. Through oration, reiteration and vision, the character accumulates backers and artists, acquires property and enables the transformation of buildings and other common places into centers of religious importance. Through the illustrations of art, singing, icons and other objects of beauty, with the building of churches and cathedrals, the character is able to strengthen the belief of tens of thousands of devout worshippers, lasting through lifetimes to come.

The sage abilities below are those acquired by the character through the study, according to status.
