+|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|

-====== Design Notes ======
-==== Mishap Table Template ====
-//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.
