It can only be used to help someone or take out the Threat Against the Innocents (another example: in the book "Burning Water" she fought an angry Aztec deity for an innocent woman, and won).
In game terms, I'm thinking, she has thaumaturgy "on her own" but Guardian Magic is evocation but she only can access that if someone literally asks her for help. I just don't know how that would work. Make it a Catch? But then what cost would it be?

Sanctaphrax wrote up a custom rebate power called Limitation which covers exactly this sort of thing (it’s on the wiki in his signature). I suspect that this constitutes a mild to moderate limitation.
Sanctaphrax:
Here's a link.
You'll want to be careful with really big Limitations, though. A character who's sometimes incredibly powerful and sometimes a real scrub is likely to be out of balance with the other PCs all the time.
LadyElvan:
Thank you for the info!!! It's something to look through and talk to my GM about (lucky for me, he's my hubby so I don't have to wait until Game Night :D :D :D )

What sort of other information do you need? (I don't know if you've read them so I don't want to explain something you already know :/ )

Yes mostly just power suggestions. Are faith powers appropriate for someone who is playing for the side opposing capital G god, The character just also happens to be very anti Denarian.
Sanctaphrax:
You might want to rename them, but the mechanics of Faith Powers should work fine for an anti-God character.
