Existence Outside the Domain B
The Summer Sun's rays reach deeper than usual and illuminate the depths of the unknown sea. Foreigner concentrates more on his job as a Saint of Marble Workers, so the otherworldly connection with water through the Pagan God has lowered accordingly.
Divinity D
Even God rested on the seventh day. The rank was lowered while he is on vacation.
Insanity A
The heat surely takes a toll on the mental state of all involved.
Item Construction C+
The Saint of Marble Workers has some serious skills. He creates ornate figureheads for ships or marble anchors that bring 'good luck. We heard that one before. He can also create golden relics from deep beneath the sea. A seafolk loves to use them for their worship. Foreigner's specialty lies in sculpting beautiful pillars of marble with strange yet aesthetic geometry and foreign inscriptions on them. They gather the surrounding mana and double as a Territory Creation-like skill. They also provide much needed shadows.
"I apologize but with this heat, I could not be bothered to request a fifth Class Skill. I am not a Caster anyway...still since I have more free time, I am seriously Innsmouth *ahem* into smithing lately. Excuse me, I need a drink for my parched throat."

Refreshed Miracle C
In essence, it is still Tainted Miracle but during summer its effects are appreciated a bit more.
The water of his springs refreshes from the heat and the foul fish become edible when so many barbeque experts of Chaldea do their tricks. He is popular with the kids because with his powers he can make a day at the beach feel much longer than usual.
Cravings of the Sunken Martyr C
Oh, the summer heat! His only weakness! Even with his Refreshed Miracle Skill, what he needs is not the lukewarm waters of the dark sees but delicious shaved ice and sweet wine! Because he now channels his aspect as a Saint of Marble Workers, the anecdote of him converting fellow workers to his faith increased his…convincing words. But he is on vacation, so he prefers to convince others to bring him what he craves as offerings worthy of a pope.
Saint of Summer Depths C
A personalized version of a personalized version of the Saint skill. Foreigner's last miracle was unearthing a spring that would quench the thirst of the poor marble workers. For that, he would be drowned in the sea. Instead of focusing on his aspect of Saint of Mariners, he takes on the aspect of Protector of Marble Workers.
But instead of blessing them, he rather protects his marble skin. If his followers begin to collapse from overwork, he can bless them with higher endurance.
His increased healing factor is almost negated because it is busy healing his constant sunburn.
Foreigner's iconic holy shroud was modified to accommodate him during Summer. He releases more tentacles so they can provide more relief from the burning rays. But the weakened connection provides less ghastly water from different dimensions. So they become clearer due to dilution with regular water. It is still kinda yucky because his sweat is part of it…a large part even.
"Excuse you! There is nothing 'yucky' about it! We are children of God and we release his essence to fight the hellish rays of hell from above! And this essence is simply the salt water of the depths of our soul which swims and resides in."
"Does it have to smell that bad too?"
"It does smell alluring."
"Foreigner of the Stinking Anchor..."
"I am a man who usually bathes in the darkness of the ocean floor. I get a bad sunburn from just hearing the word 'sunshine'! Praise his Holiness for providing me with this Shadow over-- *clears throat* Oh my, I am dehydrating again."

Y'ha-nthleiDrowning in a Summer Dream, Mirage of the deep Marble City
Foreigner wishes to create the perfect summer abode for himself and his followers. In similar fashion to his regular Noble Phantasm, he summons his anchor so the black spring can transform the beach into sinister mud.
But oh no! The devilish summer heat and sundrys the mire immediately!
His followers look confused and he slightly perplexed. With his signature smile and a vein on his temple popping up, he says
"Our God rests after his hard work. Now it is on us to create the kingdom of god! Yes!
Today we do not bring the people to our kingdom but the kingdom to our people! We do it ourselves!"
Foreigner takes the anchor and uses it as a hammer to hit the ground.
Forth springs a marble pillar with each hit to the ground. The strange objects surround the area and present their strange writings and grotesque pictures to the onlookers. Then he jumps on one of them and disperses his tentacles into a stinking mist that covers the area.
The dream of a sinking man takes vague shape inside reality.
Using the water of his tentacles, Foreigner creates a mirage of the dream he had in his final moments…or so he claims.
A strange cityscape can be seen amidst the forest of pillars. White towers rear their head above the horizon with unearthly beauty and horror. An incomprehensible combination of Eldritch, Roman and Crimean architecture proudly presents the marble towers from the depths, created from a civilization of unfathomable evil and disgust for life.
Hundreds of terraces protrude from the terrible but sacred columns in black, white and red corals.
It is but a projected dream yet Foreigner can manipulate time in it as he wishes. He can evade attacks more easily and enhance his speed tremendously. He said that God rested on the seventh day and so does he. But now he can decide how long the day is.
His connection to the depths is weakened so he can not imprison targets for a whole year in mere seconds but enough to make each summer day in his twisted town as long and enjoyable as he wishes.
Still, this hinges on Foreigner having enough water to sustain himself in the heat, the enemy not blowing the illusion away or him not being able to avoid the attacks without his trusty tentacles. Overall it creates a pleasant atmosphere for other Foreigners during the summer and acts as an alternative to a certain other Summer Foreigner's abode. It is named after the city of the Deep Ones near Innsmouth.

My Lore? Dear Sir, I am still the same devote follower of the praised Father Clement. I decided to celebrate my victory with my fellow devotees at the beach. Chaldea was kind enough to modify my Saint Graph for the occasion.
Did I mention I am now more of a Saint of Marble Workers?
A couple of times?
Oh my, the sass..."

"Ah...these hellish flames from above! I hate them! It is summer when god is resting. The sky is not clouded with his graces to protect us from hell and prevent unwitting souls to ascend to this false heaven! But this is all a trial to test our faith and I shall prevail. Enough talk, I need to refresh myself on the blood of Christ."
"Are you sure you want to convert this water of all choices into wine? Eeeuuuw..."
"Isn't it wonderful? People flock to the beaches to be near him again. It is subconscious but we all long for the sea. When hell rains down on us with blazing rays they seek the protection of his waters. And in winter he blesses us for our perseverance with the earthly variant of Marine Snow. Praise be his name."
"Ah this proud city. It is the ocean of Jerusalem. Each tower is a church, and each balcony is the place of worship for a new saint. It is heaven on earth. And all who reached it will be canonized by me. Because they obtained the likeness of God to survive here. They returned..."

"Devils! Begone!"
Sigmund Freud (Summer):
"No decency to be found in your dreamt up abomination! King of Sodom and Gomorrha! Decadence! Heathens!"
"Good news, we got new pomegranate juice delivered fresh from H. Bosch's Noble Phantasm. Will you stop complaining now?"
"Excellent!"
Super Saver:
"Hello there, misguided little boy. Please do not interrupt those undergoing a baptism. No, they are not drowning, they find to god. N-No those are screams of joy and excitement, please believe me."
