-'''Faith''' is a [[Sage Study|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field|field]] of [[Power (sage field)|Power]] describing a philosophical theocratic approach to the character's belief in his or her chosen religion.  Essentially, the character has come to realize that logic and reason have limitations regarding the explanation of events, and that in fact, the "mystery of life" cannot be understood.  As such, the character has chosen to commit their actions and beliefs to the word of their religion as an act of trust and loyalty, relying upon theistic guidance alone.

 The pattern of faith differs from religion to religion — but primarily, the highest commandment is '''selflessness'''.  The character's needs and worldly importance are secondary to the greater truth: that, like the character, the world must be bent towards the greater good.  This "good" compels a wider belief in the [[Cleric (class)|cleric's]] religion, the divine will and eternal compassion towards others of the same faith ... with, naturally, the understanding that those of other faiths must be enlightened or cleansed.
