"It is thematically, but not technically. In my case, I was simply created completely asexual, rather than vowing to give up something tempting, so it's not really the same."

"Gotcha. What's the vow of justice?"

"You may not harm innocent people in any way, and may only punish people in proportion to how evil they've been. It also comes with the power to see the greatest evil they've ever committed."

"Huh. I guess that sounds... useful on the whole, but I somehow do not vibe with it."

"I had thought that would be so, which is why I did not mention it earlier."

"Do any other vows come with powers?"

"Around half of them do, usually a petty or ancillary thing. Notable ones- Honesty: Lie detection, at low resolution. You know if someone speaks a literal lie by the same conditions of the Vow. Mercy: Inherent judgement of which attacks are fatal and which are not. Temperance and to a lesser degree teetotal: Resistance to poison which includes unwanted drugs. Honor: You become aware when someone is about to ambush you a moment before it occurs. Law: An innate and nuanced understanding of the laws and how they are applied wherever you are. That Vow does require you to faithfully follow the law, unless it is evil such as compelling people to commit torture or serve in the military or own slaves."

"You had chosen the vows of compassion, diligence, honesty, and teetotal. That is eleven Virtue in total, and access to three greater miracles without additional cost. Healing costs two. Ecogenesis, three. I am not sure which other miracles you were interested in."

"Tell me more about..." She consults her notes. "Protection, and how Peace is implemented?"

"The miracle of Peace is mind-control-ish. Lesser Peace brings clarity and sober contemplation to a person's soul for one full day. It does not directly alter opinions or inclinations, but it brings all emotions good and bad very sharply towards neutrality. Greater Peace spans from horizon to horizon for one day, and makes everyone feel horrified at the idea of committing violence. There can be no such thing as war in such a state, but it is even more clearly an imposition on the mind than the lesser."

"Lesser Protection allows you to create a golden panel of light at the tip of your hand, covering about two yards by three. The cost is tiny, but so too the effect- It lasts for a mere three seconds. However, it is completely, utterly impermeable and indestructible in that time. The greater version is a stationary sphere around you up to fifty yards across. It will remain indefinitely without any further favor use 'till you dismiss it or touch the edge, and will for example contain carbon dioxide or smoke within. It is rather expensive."

"How expensive is rather?"

"Let us divide the costs into trivial, small, moderate, large, major, and huge. Each level is about forty times the last. 'Rather' would be 'large'. Upon your initial incarnation you would be able to manage it perhaps once every month if you did few other miracles, but if you have a large impact your favor will grow rapidly."

"Oh, I thought you meant in virtue points."

"Peace and protection both cost two virtue."

"Details on Resurrection?"

"Four virtue to access. Lesser- Large favor cost, requires a reasonably intact body- Head and torso, or all the limbs but the head, and less than a week dead- Restores this person to life, in good health, at the age they departed or a bit lesser. Greater- Major favor cost and only requires any portion of the body and a clear way to identify someone specifically, no time limit. This still does not work on people who have entered the Gates proper or become an angel, only those who had been coalescing yet, or who lingered here in the outer garden. It does work on people who went to Hell."

"How cute can I get with the any part of the body thing, can I swipe a fingernail trimming off anybody I like?"

"Perhaps a fingertip from the last knuckle, or shards of bone. Hair and nails- Things that have been 'discarded'- Might fail, especially if there is little. Ashes are fine."

"Appendixes? Moles? Blood?"

"Yes to all."

"Sweet. This actually makes getting married more appealing though I guess if I predecease them we still have an issue..."

"Note that even this miracle does not fully reverse the process of aging, as that is partially an aspect of wear on the soul. The Foundation of Heritage is required to give one chosen the aspects of a wingless and halo-less angel, and truly separate them from aging. It applies primarily to any children you might have, but also to one mortal at a time that you can choose."

"...hm. If I took the no casual sex vow and threw in charity where would I be on affording that foundation and also the one where I only have to sleep once a week?"

"Four and five Virtue, adding to the previous eleven makes twenty virtue. Turning virtue to quintessence is less efficient- Two to one. Healing, resurrection, and ecogenesis as miracles together cost nine, leaving eleven unaccounted. But this plan does buy you more miracles without dipping into remaining quintessence. Three quintessence for the second level of endurance, which is 'sleep once a week' in addition to physical resilience. The greatest level of heritage, which had contained the ability to boon pseudo-angelhood to one other, costs nine. This is because it also comes with the ability to have full angel children. Perhaps... A variation of the Blessing of Divine Embrace, which allows you to make another like unto an angel so long as your hand remains upon them. It is meant to create heroes of your allies at crucial moments. But I believe it could be adapted to work on a spouse, permanently, not merely so long as you touch, in exchange for making the boon of heroic might lesser too. Please give me some time to plan out such an alteration if you desire it. I think it would probably end up costing three or four quintessence."

"Considering what this is shaping up to look like it might be good if the unagingness could be in the form of a miracle instead of a blessing, since it's custom anyway, but I don't know if that works with how this is generally set up. I don't even know if I want children, so we can leave that part out."

"Unagingness does not come in miracle form, and would be prohibitively expensive to make so. Such powers are the province of magic."
