Message: <blockquote data-quote="Archangel" data-source="post: 262985" data-attributes="member: 4537">Well, in both Sovereign Stone and my homebrew, there are no divine spellcasters per se.  There are two spellcasters - the Elemental Mage and the Void Mage (technically 5, as there is an Elemental Mage for each element - same class, different spells), but I believe that they would be considered Arcane (that is how I consider them).IIRC, some cultures in the Sovereign Stone campaign believe it is from the gods (Elves for example), but I do not know enough of the Sovereign Stone deities to tell you if the gods have any control over the spells they can get or cast.  I believe that the ones who think of it as divine either see it as a gift/tool (that they can learn or use) or as forbidden lore that only the gods should have (meaning spellcasters are outcasts to them).I like this, because the spell system runs independantly of gods and religion.  If a character is very religious in my world, he may get favors or miracles performed on a case by case basis, but he would not be of a certain class (meaning that his abilities, whether magical or not, would be independant of his religion).  For the gods, I just have them use their powers to assist or hinder mortals if such an action is justified (and doesn't get the deity attacked by his peers).Hope this helps.</blockquote>
