As it stands, you're just making something up to justify the results. Its a good explanation, but there really isn't anything in the rules to support it.Then why can wizards only prepare spells he knows from a formal spellbook, while clerics have access to every spell in the PH (subject to character level and WIS, of course)?I'm rather fond of the idea that divine spells are prescribed rituals that must be learned and practiced just like wizard spells, except the source of the power that makes the magic work comes from the gods instead of some arcane or internal source. I would have an easier time swallowing this explanation if the game rules reflected it.Clerics should either have to learn spells just like wizards, or they should cast spontaneously.</blockquote>
