Holy Flame of Andraste

The Holy Flame of Andraste is the name given to the ancient magical power that lies in the blood of the descendants of Andraste, the prophet of the Maker. It enables them to wield astonishing magical powers and is activated by exposure to the taint. The Flame manifests itself in the form of a bridge yellow flame. The current bearer of the flame is Andraste's direct descendant, the Chosen One.

Uses
The Flame provides its bearer with incredible magical power, although, due to the intense potency of the magic, these powers are extraordinarily difficult to control. The abilities it provides include, but are not limited to:
 * The bearer can summon shields of fire to protect themselves and others from spells and projectiles.
 * They are able to cast a stream of fire from their palm.
 * Historically, it has been reported that the Flame can cleanse someone of the Taint, although this theory has not been tested in hundreds of years and reportedly requires so much effort it can kill the bearer.
