- Weapons which the Children of the Corn are weak to range from ordinary warfare to more holy means of combat. Ordinary warfare, such as guns, are stronger against weaker Children, while holy warfare, such as holy water, is stronger against stronger Children. In some case, using the wrong type of warfare on a particular child can be ineffective.
SALT
Salt has more uses than simply acting upon the tastebuds. It can also stop spirits and demons from entering a room if someone spills a line of it in front of all entry points, like windows or doors. It can also be poured, or spilled, into a circle around a victim to repel a spirit from attacking them. A spirit can also be encircled by salt to prevent it from escaping, much like a devil's trap. But if the line of salt is broken by any means, the demon can get through.
- Salt is a very common Holy tool which can be wielded by anyone.
HOLY WATER
Other than Salt, Holy Water is another common tool religious people may use. It can have searing effects on the Children, where the stronger the child's corruption, the power powerful the Holy Water is. It can also be used to determine whether or not a child is, in fact, corrupted, as if they are, having the water poured on them will be painful.
- Holy Water is created by a priest chanting a latin chant over a source of water with a rosary in hand. Once the chant is complete, the rosary is dropped into the water, and it becomes holy water.
CROSS
A cross item is a religious tool which can be used to repel the strongest of the Children. They can be worn as necklaces, bracelets and much much more, however they must have the physical shape of a cross, thus tattoos and crosses molded onto other objects are ineffective. To be effective they must be made out of silver, gold, or wood.
- Crosses are pretty easy to get one's hands on, and regardless of one's devoutness to Christianity, they prove to be an effective tool. Unfortunately, these are not useful in repelling demon powers, only the demon him or herself.
PRAYER
Prayers are some of the most powerful forms of warfare against the strongest of the Children. They can have very crippling effects and can even lead to incapacitation. Effective prayers are always spoken in Latin and must have a lot of feeling behind them. The demon must hear the prayer to feel it and the person's voice must not waver.
- Effective Prayers can only be spoken by priests. Though someone else can learn the words to a prayer,they will be most ineffective.
