This Mystery must be cast with the use of a PARAMOUNT FOCUS and must be targeted on a character who is in physical contact with the focus. The empowered character may call RESIST to treat the first five special damage calls which are targeted on them as normal hits. These may come from from any source, including Gods.

Unless a Key and Lock mystery are used, the resistance effect will last only until the next dusk or dawn or until the five RESISTS are used up, whichever is sooner.

This Mystery can be enhanced by using a KEY PARAMOUNT MYSTERY. The element of the Key Mystery used will dictate the nature of the modification (which may alter the number or type of resists which may be called), and will align the humours of the target to the requisite element.

To be made permanent this Mystery must be used in conjunction with a KEY and a LOCK. Different combinations of KEY and LOCK mystery will have differing modifications on the effects of this Mystery.
