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: 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 ...
4-7	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.[…]

Saint Descriptions

Name

The name of the Saint appears to be based on the value of Skeleton in Progress, which reflects the declared "type" of the skeleton (e.g. Bird or Monkey).
