<li>Access to Viva Caelatura is generally somewhat limited, however, is quite probable— many have found themselves capable of casting the likes of weaker, usually non-harmful spells known as cantrips, casting smaller spells via Futhark or Glyphe, or enhancing their pre-existing Viva Caelatura.

Introduction
Though mortals know not what shall come, Infinity's keen eyes have watched all that there ever will be, ever was, and is now.
Every possibility, every finality shall be brought by their hand— they watch all that there ever could be and ensure all that ever will be.
For this reason and more, we revere them so— for they give us sight beyond sight, knowledge beyond mortal comprehension, and comfort in knowing that they shall be our guide with every step we take.
For this reason and more, we recognize them to be our God although they humbly call us their equal and command us to call them Prophet or Archon, but not God.
For this reason and more, we pray and sing in hymns in the hope that they shall lead us into a better future, for only they can witness what is to come.

As Infinity witnesses all things, they shall bring the best path to fruition.
As Infinity produces Finality, all things shall be brought to an end.
As Infinity purges this world with flame, stripping it of vitriol, hatred, and filth, it will be renewed.
For this reason, we herald Asla'nir's doom and we sing in hymns, for we long for the end above all else.
When the End Times come, all shall understand what sins they have wrought upon this world and they shall quake in terror as our souls are uplifted and theirs are damned for their sin.

Understood widely by most to be heretics and hated by even their own God, the Insert, sometimes known as the Harbingers of Doom, are a particularly fervent sect of Lennox's faith. Although they garner very little from their worship due to their God's rejection of them, the Insert are predominantly composed of the vulnerable who have been taken into the faith. They pray for the downfall of Asla'nir and for their God to bring the End Times upon the mortal world so as to 'cure' it of its immorality, conflicts, and disparaging nature. The Insert do not believe in anything coming afterwards after these End Times, however— they revel in nothingness, in the absence of all, in the fact that their God is the Finale, and they pray that after Asla'nir's downfall that the rest of the mortal planes shall be purged as well. Most reject them upon the awareness of what faith they follow, believing them to be a cult, however, they do not believe in harming others themselves, leading most to understand them to be relatively harmless. The only true ability they have garnered from their worship is the ability to predict disasters through Turbidius Probabilitas, which they claim to be the result of their God, rather than the Gods whose domain it falls within. They are currently placed on a watchlist by the Udoxan government under the Udoxan Citizen Protection Act, however, and are being monitored actively due to the potential of them becoming a threat to the safety of Udoxa.
