Favors & Judge-Granted Abilities

Ophiuchus Favors

So, as of the changes on the 17th, each of the Ophiuchus have a single clear gem in their bracer, should they wear it. (As a reminder, Ophiuchus get all of the benefits and none of the shortfalls of the bracers. Taking it off does not set back their mental state, nor does having it on limit their power. This is another, added benefit.)

How it works is very simple:
۞ Complete a mission/task/offering to a particular Judge
۞ When you put it in the flame, the gem in the bracer glows.
۞ Like all Materia, you know what it is and how to use it.
۞ When you do another mission, for a different Judge, the old power is gone and the new one replaces it.
۞ You CANNOT take it out, transfer, trade or give the materia away. In fact, attempting to do so will land you in more trouble than you want to deal with.

Please note that if you use an offensive ability versus a team that has that Judge as a patron, the power will be weak or simply not happen at all. Remember where that power is coming from.
