They are rather rare as few Wizards are that devout and the Church of the Way is a tad suspicious of Wizard magic - they do often have Divine Cantrips though or occassionall Cleric Levels and/or Mystic Theurge levels Ok off topic but for the curious how magic works Minor Psi existed on earth but it waslimited to feats ala D20 Cuthulu -- On Midrea  The new the worlds dimensional resonance increaed Psis to full fleged Psions and Psionic Warriors and the like Magic was rediscovebeing a Wizards is learning the ability to use a Sigil (the writing in a spell book)  to "void walk" and imbed the spell fragments of the first creation into memory and therefore cast spells.   Later in history as Violet gate was opened latent talents were activated allowing Sorcery and Bardic Magic -- its a Fae ability usually Clerical magic is about making contact with either the Divine or the Infernal or in the case of Druids and the like,  the living planet Herself and havinf Faith and in most cases keeping true to the religion Clerics must be Good or Evil depending on power source -- Druids must be Neutral and Witches may have any aligment  divine spellcasters with inate powers (ala the Mystic class) who have angelic bloodlines  and have an appropriate alignment Any Good person with faith and a Wisdom of 10+ can learn divine spells but they have to strive for goodness -- Everyone knows reinacarnation is a fact as well since the entire planet was exposed to the voice of the Metranon -- Of the  main religions The Way resembles Unitarian Catholic Buddhism and in game it subs in for Christianity which was mostly left out to avoid offensing a couple of devout players but can be added in easy enough  , The Shen Pantheon has 50 gods, Druids worship Midrea herself, The Norse gods are Worshiped in the worlds equivilant of err Norway and there is a Wicca like faithOther classes like Hexblades and stuff will be added and of course there are a number of other relgions as well -- In another version of this world there are neither Clerics or wizards but all else remains the same My other game system varients of this I did  away with the gates and the other stuff and just have a single source of magic as yet undecided -- and another varient uses a three way system Light Dark Green</blockquote>
