Searing Not-Quite-Light

[shilsen]

I hate all the light attack spells. They don't feel like things clerics should be doing.

Why not?

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Why not?

I wonder that as well. Isn't it written "And He shall descent upon thee and smite thee with laser beems out of His eyes"?

 

[Voadam]

Why not?

I see cleric magic as mainly buffs(blessings), healing, protections, and divinations, plus a few odds and ends as the appropriate flavor and character niche for the class.

Zaps feel more appropriate for sorcerers and wizards.

Well, there's all that smiting one's enemies with righteous wrath thing priests have going on.

I like the holy fire from the sky. Smells like divine roast. Burns away evil and less calories. mm mmm good

I can't believe this thread popped back up

I think the prior art on divine light is quite old, and thus not inappropriate for a cleric. But umm... it should be light.
