100.99.8 Dictum

Opposing the forces of evil and darkness demands strength of will and mental fortitude. Many are the lies and falsehoods of the profane, the dark arts a venomous snake whose antidote is faith and resolve unshakeable. 

Dictum allows the Akkari to express their zeal through holy words and ancient spiritual scripture, their strength of will and depth of conviction granting heightened senses and great powers of discernment and investigation. Such words, when dictated by a skilled Akkari, are given power over the weak minded and the faithless, causing them to suffer a slew of debilitating effects with but a simple command from one who walks in the holy light. 

Dictum therefore is the skill of mental acuity, the Akkari's mind honed to a razor-sharp edge to resist that which would tempt them from their path and to turn the power of persuasion back on evildoers with righteous vengeance.
