Divine Magic & Spells

Divine magic is the type that is practiced by Clerics. Clerics are those individuals who are able to commune with their deity through prayer and worship. While mages rely on mana being drawn from the magic around them and tapping the natural elements, clerics receive their power to cast spells by the intercession of their deity. The ability a cleric has for spellcasting is directly related to his dedication to a particular god or goddess. This dedication is expressed as a number of points of piety. When a new cleric character is made he will probably have a small amount of piety and spells to start with. As time goes on and the character grows he will be able to purchase more piety points allowing him to cast a greater amount of spells as well as open the possibility to learning spells of even greater power. This is representative of the cleric developing a closer relationship with his deity. When a cleric character is first created he begins with the Light spell, the Minor Healing spell, and two random starting spells from the beginning list, determined at check in. This beginning list consists of the very basic spells available to clerics of all faiths, but rest assured there are many more available. Some of these spells are available to all faiths, and some are specific to a given deity. Clerics may learn additional spells including the “hidden” spells by either finding a teacher in game or deciphering scrolls of knowledge. For more specific information you need to know in order to play a cleric see the cleric page. To learn more about the gods and goddesses of Realms of Adventure, see the deities page.
