Cleric Faith

The power that clerics wield is a direct manifestation of their deity's power. It may seem to an observer like the magic a mage wields, but is actually derived from faith and prayer. As a reflection of the wide variety in Caspia's pantheon, there are a number of prayer skills available to all clerics. They are the following:
