No physical alterations (beyond the Stigmata) take place, but the true believer will be disabled or have pain and limited mobility as the victim does at the time the power is activated, until the aggravated damage is healed. | + | When using this power, the true believer may choose to suffer 1 level of unsoakable aggravated damage in the form of stigmata bleeding.
