They're also mentioned as selling various spell components, and defined on page 29 as handling "the compounding of magical substances".  Their fee structure for employment is also a bit different- a base rate of 300gp/month, plus you'll need to offer a bonus of 10-100gp, a well-stocked lab for them to work in (setup costs of 200-1,000gp, and a min monthly maint cost of 10% of the setup cost), plus a minimum assurance of at least a year's employment to attract one to service.  Did you ever see the <a href="https://youtu.be/7NV6PcZ5e4o?si=j-EYQrrfQBf-Zqvc" target="_blank">1991 OVA</a> based on the first game?OD&D Clerics were forced to choose Law or Chaos by 7th level (Men & Magic p7), but most of that class interaction/alignment restriction stuff you've mentioned was emulating 1E AD&D, which imposed such restrictions primarily on Paladins and Rangers.  Clerics are forbidden to be True Neutral in AD&D, right from 1st level.  (In B/X there was no restriction.  In BECMI as well they could be any of the three alignments, but the Companion set introduced the option to become a Druid if you were Neutral and at least 9th level.)</blockquote>
