You may distribute 11 points to your attributes upon character creation, but if you do, you start with 1 fewer skill.

You have the power to ward off evils opposed to your faith, be they undead hordes or the powers of other unholy creatures. For each such opponent, you may spend 1 MP to force them to make an opposed spell check using Deft in order to attack or cast spells against you. You cannot cast concentration spells or attack while warding off evil in this way. Moreover, you may make an opposed spell check using Deft to expend MP and dispel the magic of such opponents. To absorb an opponent’s magic, you must spend MP equal to the MP your opponent spent to cast the spell. In order to use this ability in combat, you must not have already acted in the round.

It takes a practiced cleric like you to interpret the pronouncements of your spiritual patron. For 2 MP, you may perform a ritual to invoke a primal spirit. The spirit will provide a vision that answers a question regarding your present circumstances: 1) Who is really in control here? 2) What here is untrue? 3) Who threatens me here? 4) What peril lies ahead? 5) What evil has transpired here? 6) What shall I take with me? Primal spirits tend to communicate in chaotic imagery and metaphor, but are always truthful in their answers. Once per session, you may re-roll any die related to the questions you asked. (You cannot re-roll after the GM has resolved a roll or affect a roll to confirm a critical.) Astral spell checks explode on a 5 or a 6.
