This is just one of the many things that are left up to you as the "Role"-player to decide. Does my char. feel that this is a bad thing, is he feeling the embrace of good/evil through his magic?Ex. How does it feel to use gate to some a balor to turn an army away and save a lawful good village from being ravaged, even though I am a Good cleric of so and so.Magic should have more affect to the character then just ho-hum, another day another bunch of spells. Magic is a power that not everyone has for a reason. Magic in my opinion is something that the character feels with-in themselves, they make a descion to cast a spell and they draw that power from within. All characters have that are able to use magic can use their spells for whatever they see fit good or bad. Should one draw to much from the neg/pos or use it for neg./pos. acts to much and it might start them in a new direction.Ex. A young cleric could slide, maybe seeing his home town destroyed by orcs, or the such..... I'm sure you have all seen Star Wars, and you should then remember Yoda and the darkside speech, well apply that, if nothing else I said seems to make sense to you. Vader was a good kid, well not in the movie, who was turned into something very evil. He had access to both sides of the force and he decided his path as all people must do. I believe in the end that he changed his Ali. one last time. I hope this at least makes you consider another way of looking at magic, and not just for your cleric, but for any and every class that can feel the effects of magic.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
