Saint 

The character has received the title of Saint on behalf of The Church, which means that his powers are officially a divine gift and not a demonic emanation. Therefore, they’re free to use supernatural abilities on a limited basis, without the fear of being pursued by The Inquisition or suffering any other consequences. It is important to note that although The Church tends to be very reluctant to admit they made a mistake with an appointment, it doesn’t grant the character absolute free reign.

On Table 33 there is a small list, indicating the recommended values for contacts of varying power in Gaïa. They are set at their minimum values, but players may invest larger amounts of CP to increase them. For example, if somebody spent 3 Creation Points on the Magus Order, it would mean that their known contacts are in the highest levels of the organization, and consequently will be able to offer them more assistance and information than normal.
