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

5 - 6The Sculptress sits up, amazed. She makes a quick sketch or two, then rises and hurries out of the Jungle.
7 - 87The 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).

  1. This is the "default" Saint, and is used for Humans as well as skeletons under construction.
  2. a Saint from the future (Link to Fifth City Wiki, contains major spoilers)

All of the names (except one) are the names of real Saints from pre-Fall Christianity. It is not clear if the vision of the Bohemian Sculptress is meant to reflect the original Saint, a new Neathy Saint with a plausible name, or an Infernal impostor.
