(For reference, the 1st level mage gains an extra memorised spell, 2x/day casting plus another 1 with Arcane Recovery, plus 3 cantrips, plus Ritual Casting.)When we see how 13th Age handles multi-classing we might have a better idea of how what you are calling for can be done, but at the moment I'm not seeing it.To treat the cleric in this way - thereby favouring mechanical function over fictional nature as the basis for categorisation - would be a radical step, I think.</blockquote>
