Divine: Difference between revisions

Dealing directly with deities exposes you to new problems, especially if the deities are temperamental or demand favors in return for power. On the whole, though, casters that use the Divine Source enjoy the knowledge that they can safely use magic without worrying about overexposing themselves to the sheer power of the Fundamental Wellspring itself. They also have more capacity to heal physical injuries than any other source of magic, and based on the specific deity that they worship, they might gain access to very unique spells.

A list of the major known deities in Ancerra can be found on the [[Deities]] page.

Clerics, zealots, and other creatures that gain access to divine magic might do so through a few different methods. Most commonly, a devout worshiper of a specific god, ideal, or pantheon will follow a deity’s tenets until the deity takes notice and awards their devotee with divine power. However, some more pragmatic aspirants approach a god directly. By making a request to enter into some form of symbiosis, a caster might gain divine magic in exchange for conducting favors or small quests on behalf of their god. Some particularly clever mortals might make favorable bargains by appealing to the deity’s personality or long-term goals.

Here are a few notable divine orders, though there are many more than just these three across Ancerra.

A large, decentralized denomination that worships all celestials and Avatars — especially those that have a militant attitude against evil and corruption, members of Vigil or “Vigilants” have sworn to protect the innocent and weak from threats that lie beyond. While well-intentioned, there are totalitarian branches that do more harm than good.

In addition to spells, you might learn prayers or rituals from the Divine Source.
