| ====== Divine Spells ====== | ====== Divine Miracles ====== |
| |
| Divine spells require a Holy Symbol to cast, in place of components. Unless noted otherwise, each spell takes an attack action. Each spell, apart from Cantrips and Rituals, is either marked -C- for Spell Casting Roll needed, or -A- for casting roll that must exceed target's defence rating, or -R- for spell that can only be cast as a ritual. If the spell is marked -S- it will inflict its effect even on disembodied spirits. | Divine spells (also called "miracles") require a spellcasting check and a Holy Symbol to cast, in place of components. Unless noted otherwise, each spell takes an attack action. Spells are more or less powerful, noted by spell level. Failing the check triggers a mishap with unintended consequences, and the spellcaster can’t attempt spells of that spell spell level again until they take a safe rest. |

| * __Illuminate__ :caster creates heavenly torch light from his hand, lasts as long as he concentrates. | Divine spellcasters, if they ordained priests, also know a number of [[Sacraments]]. These are key rituals that can be performed by ordained clergy, NPC or PC. These sacraments require no spell casting roll, if a properly ordained clergyman performs the ceremony, it is effective, regardless of his personal qualities or skill. A cleric or hermit player character can decide to begin play as an ordained priest, which allows access to sacraments, but might result in him being assigned to a parish or cathedral to perform services. Most templars are not ordained, only the chaplains of a commandery. A templar may apply to the local commander to be ordained once he reaches 2nd level (Charisma check, and perhaps a quest). |
