Clerical Spell Tables
Here are a list of clerical spells, which can be reviewed to choose which spells the character wishes to possess.
Some spells are only beneficial to those of the cleric’s religion; others may be used to serve anybody. Each spell will include a note regarding its use towards believers and non-believers.
Clerics pray fervently to gods or demi-gods for the necessary time period, while feeling the passion of these superior powers filling their minds and hearts. In effect, it is as though the cleric were a bottle being filled; once the spell is in place, the cleric mentally places a stopper over the top of the bottle and the spell’s power remains held within the cleric, until the metaphorical stopper is removed.
