'''Step 2'''

The '''Symbol of Blessing''', governed by [[Eonak]], is obtained at the second rank of the [[Order of Voln]]. Members will be able to use this symbol to [[Bless (304)|bless]] combat gear with an [[Enchant (925)|enchantment]] bonus equal to their (Voln rank × 2).

For example, a rank 2 member will be able to bless weapons with a +4 enchantment bonus, a rank 10 member will be able to bless +20 enchant bonus items ([[Vultite]]), and at rank 25 members will be able to bless any blessable magical metal. Maximum item enchant bonus is +50. These items are commonly referred to as 10x.

*Weapon must be blessable and free of any bless. (Most flared or weighted weapons should be eligible.)
*Each swing will reduce the number of blesses remaining by one. This includes swings that do not connect with a target.
*Is not effective on [[aquamarine wand]]s.

== Syntax ==

* Hold (WEAPON) in right hand and type SYMBOL OF BLESSING MY <WEAPON NAME> to employ the symbol.

==Number of Blesses==

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=50%}}><center><tt>'''Number of blesses = [[level]] + (2 × voln rank).</tt></center></div>

Example for a level 20 member at voln rank 18

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=80%}}>20 + (2 × 18) = 56 blesses</div>

==Symbol Use [[Favor]] Cost==
Favor cost is based on the member's level. See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples. The favor cost for blessing magical items is approximately 5x greater than non-magical items.

Q. How does this work for low level characters? Will they run out of favor blessing their own weapon?

A. Very likely not. A level 4 character is granted the ability to perform one Sym of Blessing (non magical item) for each level 1 undead creature released.

Q. How many swings is that?

A. 8 swings for a level 4, rank 2 member.<br>
:Number of blesses = (level + (Rank * 2)
