How it works

Absolution casts a player out of Runic. Hold or wear that player's head and right-click the emerald heart. The gold and the emerald are spent. The bedrock ring and the signature blocks stay. Alex is cast out of Runic — all magic is barred until Absolution lifts it.

The player loses their Initiation, and every rune and bound item refuses them. Absolution strips your initiation — all Runic magic is barred until Absolution lifts it.

Lifting the bar

Work Absolution again with the same player's head. The bar lifts from Alex. They may seek Initiation again. The player starts over: they must perform the rite of Initiation once more before their magic answers.

Good to know

• Absolution changes no ownership. The player's runes and islands stay theirs. To hand them on, use the True Name Altar.
• Like every staff rune, it comes with runic.admin, which operators hold by default.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/absolution.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Absolution has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones.
