Obedience: Spend one hour giving deep, profound thought to how you would live your life if your alignment were inverted or you lived in direct opposition to your current values, and spend this time writing a plan for your life should this happen. Once this plan is finished, on the other side of it inscribe how you currently live your life. Once completed, burn the writings at an Altar to Musho and Fukuro.
Effect: Your Alignment registers as your current alignment and as its direct opposite for effects that detect your alignment and for beneficial effects that work off of your alignment. You may also cast evil spells with no penalty. For a number of rounds per day equal to your CHAMOD + 1(Min 2), you may treat any weapon you wield as being either Axiomatic or Anarchic. Using this property does not bestow negative levels to you for not meeting the alignment requirements on such a weapon. Additionally, once per day, you may invert a dice roll to its opposite(Ex: roll a 2 on a d20, change it to an 18). You must use this ability after a dice is rolled, but before the result is revealed.

Tenets of Faith
Tenets(Musho):
Die when to die is right, and strike when to strike is right. Once you have chosen a path, do so and follow it through without wavering no matter what comes.
Be Courageous, Be Benevolent, and Be polite. When you see something is right or just, do it and do not hesitate.
Simplicity and Honesty behooves a true warrior. Eschew a more complicated lifestyle to bolster your mind and body.
Honor and Loyalty are the truest traits for a warrior to have. Have them and die defending them. Glory won in the name of your master is glory won in your own name, and to fight for personal glory is antithesis to the way of the warrior.
Live according to your Character, and never lose ones' self-control. Pass on this Character and Moral Standard to your children and all who come after you.Tenets(Fukuro):
Listen to your father, superior, or master. Their word is absolute.
Fear is absolute. There is no shame in losing a battle or in failure, but you must take revenge.
Be prepared before it is too late, Win the battle before it even begins, and know that to kill your enemies before they even begin to fight is the highest symbol of one's talent, and not one of dishonor.
Know how to kill everything you meet, know and have plans and the will to do so, and relish the act of carrying such plans out. Let no movement be wasted in the pursuit of slaughter and battle, and perfect the arts of battle and death.
Punish each slight done upon you or your master tenfold and ensure your enemies never challenge you again.
