Abilities
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.

Spells
-
Blessing
Curative +6
You call upon the aid of a magical patron to bestow a blessing upon targets other than yourself. The target gains advantage on the next roll of your choosing (initiative, a specific weapon attack roll, a specific skill, but not attributes in general). This effect is not ongoing, and ends after the roll is made. You may cast this spell as a reaction once during the round, in addition to any other action you take.
-
Command
Charm +4
You command a single target to perform a single action. No form of magic can be used to command the target to perform suicidal actions or actions that would knowingly endanger them, including alterations to this spell.
-
Control (Magnetism)
Elemental +4
You can manipulate magnetic fields in the area of effect as if you were a powerful magnet. You can control your magnetic influence as attraction or repulsion. If magnetism manipulated in this way is used to cause harm to a target, apply the peril of the force maleficence.
-
Counterspell
Abjuration +4
You use your maleficence to dispel the magic of your target's spell. As long as the opposing spellcaster is visible to you, you may absorb their spell before its targets are affected by the magic. To absorb an opponent’s magic, you must spend MP equal to the MP your opponent spent to cast the spell and succeed in a contested spell check against them. This spell may be cast as a reaction if you have not already acted in the round.
-
Divinely Inspire
Divination +6
You call upon your magic patron to grant a target other than yourself supernatural aid. Make a prayer to your patron. The GM chooses a spell appropriate for your situation, and you bestow this spell upon your target. You must expend 1 MP to cast this spell and 1 MP to bestow the spell upon your target. The target may cast the spell at a later time, whether or not they are a spellcaster, but the magical charge transferred thereby will only last 24 hours.
-
Heal
Curative +6
You heal 1 HP per MP spent, split among as many targets in the area of effect as desired. Any status effects caused by minor perils on the target(s) are cured. This spell does not heal wounds or targets on death's door. (If an Undead creature is affected by this spell, they are entitled to a spell check and receive 1 HP damage per MP spent, bypassing soak.)
-
Poltergeist
Conjuration +6
You manifest poltergeists to haunt the area of effect. This haunting lasts for 1 hour per MP spent. While the spellcaster does not have control over what the poltergeists might do in the area of effect, they will seek to cause chaos and unrest at every opportunity, frustrating the aims of anyone living who attempts to inhabit the space. The poltergeists may cause harm inadvertently, but they are not murderous and would rather their victims suffer mental anguish than perish.
-
Time Stop
Time +4
You step out of the flow of time for the duration of the spell. For you, everything in the area of effect is frozen in time. Anything and anyone you interact with enters your time stream for the duration of the spell. (An attack against an opponent is immediately canceled, but they enter your timestream the moment of the interaction.) From the perspective of those outside the area of effect, it appears you have acted faster than can be perceived.
-
Zone of Truth
Abjuration +6
Your magic expunges lies in the area of effect. Although they are not forced to tell the truth, anyone within the area of effect is unable to tell a lie.
Maleficence
Force
Thaumaturgy +6
The victim is stunned until after their next action. (They may only act to defend themselves.)
Stances
Focus
Reflect Magic
Combat
You shield yourself to magical peril, reflecting the arcane energy to its source with your shield, weapon, or bare hands. You may reflect any magical peril (including spells) to their source as long as you have not acted in the round by parrying vs. the TN of the peril or the opposing spellcaster's spell check with your weapon or shield. You may only parry once in the round when using this stance, and must sacrifice any other parries available to you to use this stance.
Known Stances
-
Exaltation
Active
Your heartfelt praise inspires awe in all those who hear it. When you monologue about one or more of your allies, everyone in the scene within earshot stops what they're doing to hear what you have to say.

You may only parry once in the round when using this stance, and must sacrifice any other parries available to you to use this stance.
-
Spell Substitution
Active
The years you spent in the libraries of your apprenticeship have left an indelible mark on your memory. As an action, you may substitute a single spell you know for a different one in the same school of magic. You may cast the substituted spell until you rest, after which time your old spell replaces it.
