| V. Clerical Magic
As I wandered through the guild, it dawned on me that although I knew a spell, I really did not know how to use it or how we Clerics came to have magical abilities. Even Tallis couldn't help me understand, so I began to inquire; and the following was explained to me. The magic we use is Holy Magic, granted to us by the gods alone. Some spells divine gifts while others are merely manipulations of the Holy Energies around us. There are four books currently in Tallis's ancient spell library. We can learn one spell from her at different stages of life, usually after a promotion. If you ask Tallis about our magic she will explain that the four books each pertain to a different type of manipulation. These books include The Holy Defense Book, The Spirit Manipulation Book, The Holy Enchantments Book and The Divine Intervention Book. Each book contains different spells, and Tallis is more than willing to explain each book and each spell, again, if you ask about them. You will be allowed to choose one spell when you join our guild. I strongly recommend the Protection From Evil Spell. Other spells are difficult to use or require advanced knowledge to obtain, such as the Resurrection Spell. Through the use of spells you will learn your primary magic skills. Tallis will keep you informed throughout your life on when you will be allowed to learn new spells. She will also teach them to you. A few notes from my spell book: Holy Defense Book: Protection From Evil - protects from evil entities. Spirit Manipulation Book: Rejuvenation - restores memories to those that have fallen. Holy Enchantment Book: Bless - blesses a weapon to fight undead creatures. Divine Intervention Book: Aesrela Everild - rains bolts of holy fire on threatening beasts. (Use commands: ASK TALLIS ABOUT MAGIC to hear the different magic books, and ASK TALLIS ABOUT {Name of Book} to see the spells within that book, and ASK TALLIS ABOUT {Name of Spell} to hear about a particular spell) |
