Apocalyptic Form

A demon's apocalyptic form, or visage, is a reflection of their purpose in Creation. Demons may assume their visage as long as they have at least one point of Faith available, although this gets harder the less Faith they have.

A demon's visage grants several powers:
 * The demon becomes resistant to lethal damage. As long as demons are in their mortal forms, they are only as resilient as normal mortals.
 * The demon changes appearance according to the general appearance of the visage - e.g. a Halaku will always be wreathed in darkness and silence to some degree. This change also temporarily restores missing limbs and body parts until the demons return to their mortal forms.
 * The demons gain four low-Torment aspects of their angelic selfs. They may choose to "switch off" any of these features whenever they assume their visage (e.g. they may choose not to extend their wings when they are about to enter a confined area).
 * The demons may gain up to four high-Torment aspects of their demonic selfs. These aspects start manifesting automatically as soon as the demons' Torment is high enough - the demons are overwhelmed by their darker natures and cannot choose but display this. Even angelic demons may utilise their high-Torment features (usually because they offer useful abilities like armour, claws, or endurance), but this causes their Torment to rise by one point per activated feature.

A mortal witness may be overwhelmed by the presence of a demon's apocalyptic form. Depending on whether the demon has high or low torment, the mortal may either flee in terror or fall to their knees to pray to a divine agent. Most people tend to forget their divine encounter, but strong-willed individuals are less affected.
