===Relationship Between Priests & Presences ===

The relationship between a Priest and the Presence he serves can be very complex. Sometimes the relationship is a very personal one, or a very public one. In some cases, the relationship is quite one-sided (when it is it usually to the benefit of the Presence), for others it is mutually beneficial. 

No matter who the Priests or Presences are, or the nature of their relationship, they have some common factors. 

'''Sacrifice:''' There is always some form of sacrifice associated with gaining a closer relationship with a Presence. This most typically is in the form of a sacrifice of PW, however, this sacrifice could be a time, a vow, a service, or even the receipient's own blood. 

'''Ritual:''' There is always some form of ritual associated with gaining a closer relationship with a Presence. Rituals will always have at least three parts, Preparation, Manifestion, and Completion. 

'''Sacred Space:''' All sacrifices, rituals, spells, and ceremonies associated with a Presence must be performed in a sacred space, which may in some cases just mean a quiet undisturbed place, but more often require a consecrated place. With Templed Presences, this will be in or touching the place that the Presence is templed. With Untempled Presences, a space must be prepared for the Presence to be invited into. 

'''Nymology & Symbology:''' There is always names and/or symbols associated with a Presence. Any sacrifice or ritual must use those names (in the form of chanting) and/or symbols (in the form of writing) in order to be successful.
