# Intro
Those who complete their pilgrimage to [[The Crater#The Edge|The Crater's Edge]] participate in a ritual called the [[Sacrament of the Falling Fire]]. This controversial rite requires supplicants to impale a [[delerium]] fragment into their hearts. Those who survive the pilgrimage are spiritually transformed and physically empowered, rendered immune to [[contamination]] and able to survive in [[the Haze]]. Many who complete the pilgrimage suddenly discover they are able to tap into powerful spiritual energies, which they claim are the [[Sacred Flame]]. Thus many followers channel divine magic who had not before exhibited the necessary willpower to master such abilities.
