[B]Holy Magic[/B] This is your typical cleric support and healing magic, in Sword World wielded only by those with the Priest skill package. Although not as distinct as the domains of 5e, depending on which deity the Priest is a devotee of, they get [B]Special Holy Magic[/B]: spells unique to that deity. Level 1: Sanity (removes the effect of spells affecting the mind), Banish (random ill effects for Barboros and undead), Field Protection (area effect; those who receive it take -1 damage for 18 rounds) Level 2: Awaken (awakens unconscious 0 or negative HP characters with 1 HP), Cure Wounds (medium power healing), Detect Faith (caster learns who a priest is a devotee to, and the characteristics of that deity) Level 3: Cure Blindness (self-explanatory), Cure Poison (self-explanatory), Field Resist (-3 damage from a specified property), Force (basic damage spell) Level 4: Sacred Weapon (cast on 1 targer for +1 to-hit, +2 damage vs Barboros and undead), Sacred Shield (-3 physical damage from Barboros and undead), Faith Indicate (suppresses Special Holy Magic) Level 5: Cure Disease (self-explanatory), Cure Hurt (most powerful healing magic in Rulebook I), Transfer Mana Points (transfers casters own mana points to another), Holy Light (damage spell vs undead) Level 6: Bless (temporary +6 to one of Dexterity, Agility, Strength, or Constitution), Holy Cradle (target recovers from a 3 hour sleep as much as from a 6 hour sleep), Remove Curse (self-explanatory) [B]Special Holy Magic Lyfos, the Ancestor God[/B] Level 2: Search Barbaros (detects Barbaros in a 30 m radius) Level 4: Mind Sending (telepathy for 10 seconds with 1 target) [B]Tidan, the Sun God[/B] Level 2: Sunlight (Lights up 20 m radius; the 1st level Sorcerer spell is only 10 m) Level 4: Ray (damage spell, +3 damage to undead) [B]Kilhir, the God of Cleverness[/B] Level 2: Penetrate (+2 to one Monster Knowledge Check) Level 4: Weakpoint (lowers the crit value for damage to the target) [B]Siene, the Moon Goddess[/B] Level 2: Night Walker (gives darkvision to the target) Level 4: Blindness (blinds a target for three minutes) [B]Miltabal, the Nimble-Fingered God[/B] Level 2: Retry (once a day, can re-roll a Skill Check Package check that takes 1 minute or more) Level 4: Appraisal (gives a +4 to a Treasure Appraisal check) [B]Eev, God Shield of the Abyss[/B] Level 2: Counter Demon (+2 Life and Spirit Resistance against effects by demons) Level 4: Sacred Aura (adds demons to monsters affected by Sacred Weapon and Sacred Shield) [B]Harula, God of the Guide Star[/B] Level 2: Star Guide (shooting star indicates location of nearest church) Level 4: Disclose Demon (+2 to Monster Knowledge Checks for demons) [B]Fulsil, Goddess of Wind and Rain[/B] Level 2: Wind Circulation (reduces affect of high or low temperatures within area) Level 4: Cold Rain (area affect damage spell, reduces Evasion by -1) [B]Magitec[/B] spells come in three general types: the magisphere alters an object (such as bullets), the magisphere alters itself into some kind of device, or rarely, the magisphere acts on a target to provide some kind of buff or nerf.
