Description:
Faith. One of the most powerful forces of influence in the universe, unwavering confidence in one's own self, one's religion, one's family and friends, or anything between. An authority by which many are often able to push themselves beyond their perceived limits, achieving feats that would have otherwise been considered impossible. With enough devout conviction, faith can push an individual to move mountains, divide seas in half, or even bring the dead back to life – especially in a world teeming with magic, and supernatural creatures such as gods and demons that are all too eager to reward mortals that share their own edicts.

One such being is known as Arcanos, the god of magic. A deity known by nearly all the nations of Ishgar, Arcanos is most predominantly worshipped by the people of Bellum, who ascribe so devoutly to their faith that they long ago put the fate and control of their country in the hands of the church as its governing body. Those who worship Arcanos adhere to the creed of magic superiority, welcoming any who are capable of wielding even the most minuscule of magical abilities as being blessed by Arcanos himself while looking down upon those that are magicless as inferior creatures that were ignored or abandoned by their almighty idol.

The wielder of this lineage is so devoted to their faith that they are believed to have been blessed directly by Arcanos himself. Whether or not the user actually worships Arcanos is immaterial. What matters is that they are devout to the doctrine of magic supremacy and driven by the unwavering conviction that great power is the ultimate authority in the universe, striving to increase not just their own magical strength but the magical abilities of those around them, constantly challenging their limits – whether for the glory of Arcanos, or themselves.

Abilities:

✣ Keeper of Faith ✣
By the strength of their unwavering resolve, the wielder of this lineage finds that their abilities are stronger and more numerous than that of the average mage, allowing them to hone their spells more efficiently. In short, their casting is more potent as, whether by the merits of self-discipline or the blessing of Arcanos himself, they are able to craft spells that are more complex and versatile. Whenever the wielder of this lineage creates a magic that utilizes the Faith type, they receive a modified version of the traditional benefits of Faith magic per the list below, called "Devotion". A maximum of 1 additional effect may be added to any given spell or ability in the magic containing the Devotion magic type. The benefit of this magic type can be used to alter the effective limit of signature spells.

• Solitary Benefit: +12 effects that may be distributed to spells and abilities in the magic including this magic type.
  
• Primary Benefit: +8 effects that may be distributed to spells and abilities in the magic including this magic type.
  
• Auxiliary Benefit: +4 effects that may be distributed to spells and abilities in the magic including this magic type.
  

✣ Arsenal of Devotion ✣
Due to the user’s intense devotion to increasing their magical prowess, it is believed that they have been blessed by the god with an expanded capacity for knowledge and spellcraft. As such, the number of spells that they can cast is significantly increased. The wielder of this lineage receives an additional user rank advanced spell per magic they possess, capped at H+, as well as a second user rank advanced spell per magic that ranks with them up to S+. Additionally, they receive an extra user rank Signature Spell for each of their magics that ranks with them up to S, as well as 5 extra user rank spell slots that can be allotted to a single magic of theirs containing the Faith magic type, ranking up with the user up to S. Lastly, the user also gains an additional slot for a Fusion Spell, which may be added to a single magic belonging to the user containing the Faith magic type.

✣ Divine Reward ✣
The gods are said to richly award the pious with bountiful blessings in all aspects of life. It is said that Arcanos is no different, and those that walk the path of arcane supremacy find that they are rewarded with certain comforts and protections. The wielder of this lineage receives a 100% increase to their base MP, as well as a 100% increase to their base Spell Damage. Additionally, they find that they also receive a 100% increase in jewel rewards from jobs as Arcanos’ blessings ensure that they are rewarded with more than just magical strength.

✣ Anointed by Arcanos ✣
Not only is the user blessed with an expanded spell list and increased magical capabilities, but the favor of Arcanos is bestowed to them through the use of a single advanced spell of Arcanos’ own design, which he has allowed no other individual to wield. The master and authority in all forms of magic, this spell may be crafted by the user and molded to fit the theme of one of the magic that they wield, as long as that magic contains the Faith type. It does not take up a spell slot, and it ranks with the user up to H+. Additionally, up to once per thread, the user can cast this spell at zero cost to MP as they channel the divine energy of Arcanos directly to shape and craft the spell. However, should the user choose to cast the spell without spending MP, the user becomes fatigued from the overwhelming potency of conducting Arcanos’ energy directly, and they must spend an additional 25% MP on each spell that they cast for the rest of the thread.

Custom Faith Spell:

✣ Clout of the Blessed ✣
This lineage is considered a Lore Based Lineage. As such, as a plot ability, the user is easily recognized by followers of Arcanos as being marked with the god's favor. This allows them a certain level of sway with other devotees of the faith, giving them an increased chance to influence the outcome and progression of applicable guided lore events to their benefit. This ability does not guarantee success of their actions, but does allow appropriate room for exception, reconsideration, or special esteem in applicable official lore plots. As always, the final outcome of any actions taken in guided lore events is determined by the Loremaster. Likewise, the user may find themselves targeted and singled out by those who oppose Arcanos and his teachings, making it more difficult to sway or otherwise affect those that might negatively view one who was marked by the god of magic. The wielder of this lineage may not control lore event NPCs or faction NPCs unless authorized by the event team leaders, and may only influence players and player-owned NPCs with the expressed permission of that player. The user, and any other player they share a Faction with, receive the divine favor of the blessed when finishing a regular Job, Faction Job, or Faction Event, granting them an additional 25% to their EXP gain from said job. This ability only applies when at least 2 players of the same Faction complete the Job, Faction Job, or Faction Event successfully.

I hope that's fine. If not, no worries; I'll just re-edit it to what the wording was before.
