[QUOTE="Jago, post: 6910356, member: 6855130"] See, this is why I need players. You get an XP. There is one [B][I]officially recognized[/I][/B] Religion. You could be a Pagan (per the Church of The Maker), but there's nothing stopping you from worshipping or praying (or getting powers from) something else. I am going to edit my post: Magic is [B][I]Low-Magic[/I][/B]. Wizards are honestly pretty rare, as are [I]true[/I] Clerics/Druids/Sorcerers, etc. While it is there, and [I]powerful[/I] when used, it is nowhere near common enough for it to supplant things like the Sciences and study. Science is what will benefit the Common Man. Eventually. But the more powerful and wealthy in the land can certainly afford the services of a spellcaster or maybe 2 to help turn the tides in a war or better protect them/enforce their will. That said, a true Spellcaster is something to be in awe of, but also fear. Wizards are [I]soooorta[/I] better accepted simply because, well, they treat magic as Science, and Science can be quantified and understood. And maybe Clerics, but even then, some may see Clerics of the Church as heresy: how [I]Dare[/I] you steal the powers of The Goddess! Or they may see them as a living, walking Saint. Who knows. People are fickle and easily frightened. [/QUOTE]
