Priest Invocations
Priests and druids are unusual magic
users. While mages are still unsure as to
where the magic of a priest comes from,
it is widely believed that their power is
divine and granted to them by their deity.
For priests this may be to spread the word
of their god, while druids believe their
power has been given to them to preserve
the inherent balance of the world and of
nature.
Technical y priests wield the pow-
er required to cast spel s. However, they do
not train to the level of precision required.
Instead, priests and druids perform invoca-
tions and create sigils: simpler “spell-like”
charms which are cast with a less orderly
and more fervent series of incantations and
gesticulations.
Invocations
can summon a vast
amount of power, and many priests are ad-
amant that they are divine, and thus more
holy and pure than the heretical mage spel s.
