(So is arcane, but that's a different story)  The gods act as conduits - kinda like hooking your house's circuit breaker box up to the city main line.  Each of the circuits leads to a priest or worshipper; the strength of the line varies based on level and power.  The gods tap into the divine source, but have limited ability to channel it on their own.  Only thru worship can they gain greater power, and only thru the god can the worshippers gain power.  It's a circuit, see.of course, that's why I'm asking about congregations.I'm also not married to this idea; I have never expressed in-session and no one has ever asked.  Tho they do have the notion that it was a conflict between the churches that brought the gods down.Arcanists can complete the circuit on their own; it's one of the differences between arcane and divine magic.I have never thought until just now how druids fit into this schema.hmmm...</blockquote>
