[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 6572775, member: 6786839"] It will make the game better *for you*. And you aren't at my table, are you? At my table, Thaumaturgy, as an overtly cast spell, has plenty of utility. If that's not true at yours, then... then I'm bewildered at how you got there, but do what works for you. In my campaign, if Moshe the Cleric says "SHAZAM!" and then the ground trembles for a minute, many NPCs will be awed by the power which Moshe has publicly demonstrated. Those with a level in Cleric, or sufficient Religion or Arcana, will know that Moshe may or may not also have Earthquake prepared. But most normal people won't want to take any chances on what else Moshe's god might do. If Moshe wants to demonstrate the deity's power, *while hiding Moshe's role as the conduit of that power*, then that's a bit more conditional and complex. It might provoke the deity to ask "Moshe, what's up, are you ashamed to be publicly known as a conduit of My power?" Moshe darn well better have a good answer to that question. [/QUOTE]
