Essence of theHubristic Pronouncement

It draws your eyes like a magnet. It's so perfect. Just the way it is. You look at it so intently you can't even tell what it is. You can see it. That's how perfect it is. Your hand grasps at it, you want to touch it, but... you're dirty. How can you touch something like that. It's an effort of will to force yourself to drink it. Dirty dirtydirtydirty you're to dirty to touch it. But your will is strong than the weakness of shame. You drink it all. Other people would have been intimidated, not you. Only you are worthy of it.

• You gain a reserve of Superbia Pronouncement Force.

• This reserve can be spent to declare an ideal the world submits to. This ideal doesn't have to directly aggrandize you, so long as it ties into a world that makes you feel better about yourself. You could pronounce a rival makes a misstep, to make your own successes feel greater, or for perfect weather, so that your date goes well and you can feel satisfaction at impressing a potential partner. It is flexible, provided it's leveraging an outcome that invokes your pride.

• Your pronouncements are constrained by Plausibility. In order from least to most important -

• Something that's likely to happen is more plausible than something that's unlikely to happen.

• Something natural to happen is more plausible than something supernatural.

• Something someone would choose to do is more plausible than something someone wouldn't choose to do.

• Something that ends on a natural state is more plausible than something that ends on an unnatural state.

• Something that people don't notice as unlikely is more plausible than an obvious miracle.

• Lastly, something small is more plausible than something large. It's impossible to announce a greater ability for pronouncement with Superbia Pronouncement Force.

• You start with a strong enough Superbia Pronouncement Force to make minor supernatural events happen; you could send a spirit of pride to someone to make them have fearful dreams to cow them, or you could make a more significant impact so long as you stick to the unlikely.

• Your reserves always completely refill in 13 Hours.

• The more frustrated your Pronouncement is, the more Ira Pronouncement Force you generate.

• Unlike Superbia Pronouncement Force, there isn't a limit to how much Ira Pronouncement Force you can have. However, you don't generate it yourself, and must harvest it by having your pride frustrated through Pronouncement denied or frustrated.

• Ira Pronouncement Force lets you make pronouncements to trample that which trampled your pride, to raise forces against the enemies of your pride. This can let you announce greater reserves of Superbia Pronouncement Force - the strength to trample that which once trampled you.

• In all other ways, Ira Pronouncement Force follows the same restriction as Superbia Pronouncement Force, and you can't use it to announce more Ira Pronouncement Force or for another method to generate it.

• Pride draws satisfaction from lust. Powers of Lust will make effects of Superbia Pronouncement Force cheaper. This 'discount' happens after the fact; it does not let you make bigger declarations, it lets you make more declarations. Wrath energizes pride, and through wrath, pride tramples over the barriers in its way. Powers of wrath can mitigate Plausibility, 'discounting' factors. The more different factors it is discounting, the less efficant this becomes.
