No, I didn't.  I think I accidentally deleted it.

Well, just let the player know that he can consecrate a certain number of
bullets (Allan, a little help here?) with one "casting" of Consecrate
Armament.  That'll help keep thingsgoing a little more smoothly and prevent
confusion in the future.

The person invoking Protection cannot force themselves on the affected
entity in any way.  If they do, the Miracle is "broken", and the target can
act normally.  It's kind of like Protection from Evil 10' Radius in AD&D.
He could have just stood there yelling "Back, demon!" until he was blue in
the face, but Michael could have just sat down and started reading the
latest issue of Human Tormenting Monthly, tap dancing, or asking people if
that's their final answer.  Had he tried to press himself on Michael, said
demon could have just grabbed him and booted him in the jollies due to the
Protection being broken.
