-//I've got some different ideas here for divine spellcasting mishaps. --AHS// 
- 
-  * A temporary hole opens up between the second world and the mundane world 
-  * The spellcasting attracts the interest of a denizen of the second world 
-  * The spellcasting attracts the interest of a denizen of the realm of light who wants a favor; reroll the spell check but the spellcaster must complete a boon for the angel 
-  * The spellcasting attracts the interest of a spirit that only they can perceive who attacks/haunts/pesters the zealot until an appropriate exorcism is completed 
-  * The fire of the Lord falls inappropriately, consuming an ally who is a nonbeliever.

-|2|The caster is cursed badly| +|2|The spellcaster may not cast any more spells until they have done appropriate penance (e.g. taking communion or giving confession)| 
-|3|The caster is cursed in an annoying way| +|3|The caster is regularly visited by an angel or saint who continually checks up on them, second guessing their choices and quoting scripture until they complete a boon for the celestial being|

-|7|THE WEIRD ONE| +|7|The spellcaster succumbs to the temptation of a demon, believing that they are accepting the help of heaven; They immediately gain a point of [[corruption]] (perhaps without knowing it) and they may reroll their spell check if they complete a boon for the fake angel which seems godly, but is actually aimed at an evil outcome|
