Saint

As defined in Realms of Power: The Divine, a Saint in Ars Magica Fifth Edition is a Divine spirit of a holy man (or woman), residing in Heaven, and often beseeched by Christians for succor. The most powerful and famous is St. Mary, the Mother of God, but there are numerous local saints. A Saint has a Divine Might and a small suite of supernatural powers that he can use when invoked or threatened. These powers may range from appearing as an apparition to raising the dead, and may include curses as well as blessings. What aid saints provide is typically sporadic and infrequent at best (rarely more than once in a month).

A saint is more likely to respond to requests from those who regularly venerate him, hold his relics, and/or make pilgrimages or donations to his name. There are patron saints for different vocations, locales, and organizations - the patron saint of the Order is St. Nerius.
