There are a lot of subtle 2nd level spells that can be explained away. Since we are doing away with the breech between divine and arcane it makes it even easier. These first two groups may not even realize it is magic. They would explain it away as gifts from their gods. Both sides had people who wielded blessings from the gods according to myth, legend and propaganda. Saying that neither side would use magic is doing the question a disservice I think. I could see the crusaders having a lot fo use for things liked *mending,* *resistance,* *cause fear,* *comprehend languages,* *sleep,* all opf the buff spells. The muslims would have the same uses for them. I could see it making the crusades drag on for a much longer time with less death (the cure spells) overall but more viciousness at times. With comprehend languages and the like you would not have the communication gap caused by mistranslating. I can see there being fewer crusades than irl because of this. Groups like the Templars (led my demolay) would know both versions of the magic and fuse it into a single entity which would cause the order to be brought up on heresy charges much sooner. The christians, muslims and jews in the holy city would have some way of protecting themselves (they were all killed in a couple of crusades by over zelotess crusaders that didn't relaize they were all living together happily.I can see some real promise to this question, who's going to start?</blockquote>
