[QUOTE="takyris, post: 326470, member: 5171"] One idea would be to not just have God and Satan grant spells, but the Saints and demons as well. (Um, a Catholic upbringing should give me more than just one, but... sigh) Archangel Michael: (woohoo, my Confirmation Saint) Patron Saint of War and righteous battle. So give him War and either Destruction or Strength. And Good and Law. Jude: Patron Saint of Lost Causes. Give him Luck and Protection. Andrew: Patron Saint of Fishermen. Travel, Water. Barbara: Patron Saint of Gunners, Miners, Geologists, Protection from Lightning (I kid you not). I'd say Earth and Air. Francis of Assisi(sp): Patron Saint of Animals. Etc. The angels are the safe bets, and should be more powerful than the mortal saints -- and some of the mortals probably come after the time period you're thinking. Demons can cover the usual Death and Evil stuff. Frankly, I don't consider it blasphemous or evil or anything. If praying to the saints gave me the actual ability to cure the sick or smite the evil, I'd be pretty jazzed. As it is, all I get is the occasional parking space and no major trauma in my life so far. :) -Tacky [/QUOTE]
