Success

A question of alignment

First you must align the mirrors in the Bone Market around your skeleton; then you must establish twists and dislocations in how the image travels from that place to this.[…]

When you are done[…]

The Sculptress sits up[…]rises and hurries out of the Jungle.

Description summary:
The description of the Saint, and the sculptress' reaction, vary depending on the skeleton qualities. These have not yet been fully mapped out. Wiki note: Numbers unaccounted for: 7, 9 – 10, 12

Counter-church Support	Second Paragraph
3	When you are done, [your saint] appears as a saint already robed and jewelled and laid out in a coffin for display. Its garments ...
4-6	When you are done, [your saint] appears as a secret saint, one of those preserved in a local chapel but never honoured by the wider church. Its garments ...
8	When you are done, [your saint] appears as a counter-saint, the bones laid out in a locked reliquary. Its garments ...
11	When you are done, [your saint] appears as a Wild Saint – never acknowledged by the church but honoured as a holy fool by certain hinterland sects. Its garments ...
13+	When you are done, [your saint] appears as a Saint of Hell, illumined in crimson magnificence. Its garments ...

Skeleton: Menace	Its garments are...
0 - 1	... ruby and rose.
2 - 3	...the colour of dusty wine
4 - 11	...black, stitched with a palm frond and a scourge.

Counter-church Support	The sculptress sits up...
3 - 4	The Sculptress sits up, delighted. She makes a quick sketch or two, then rises and hurries out of the Jungle.
5 - 6	The Sculptress sits up, amazed. She makes a quick sketch or two, then rises and hurries out of the Jungle.
7 - 87	The Sculptress sits up, awestruck by the heretical genius of this construct. It is startling! Provocative! It presents an entirely new notion of what holiness might be! She makes a quick sketch or two, then rises and hurries out of the Jungle.

Failure

A question of misalignment

First you must align the mirrors […]

[…] Parabola clothes the bones in life, and for a moment the skeleton body is fused with your own, its torso joined to your back, its limbs your limbs. […] it lashes out against you, the joined-body that it never desired.[…]
