Priest Spells

Spells cast by priests are revealed through connection to the wider universe. When creatures hold an aspect of the world in reverence through dedicated spiritual practice, they attain the ability to shape the energy of the universe into magic. Subjects of spiritual practice categorize these magical manifestations -- priest spells -- into 20 Priest Spell Domains.

The Priest Spell Domains

Subjects of spiritual practice from the natural world to abstract concepts have led to the revelation of 20 Priest Spell Domains. Many spells belong to more than one Domain.
Priest Spell Domains help describe spells and which priesthoods gain access to them; they have no rules of their own, although some rules refer to the domains.
Animals Domain spells are derived from reverence for the mortal beasts with whom we share our existence. They govern our relationships with the animals and allow us to take the shape of animals.
Combat Domain spells are the reward for those who hold reverence for battle. Combat spells marshal the energies of the universe to make the wielder and his or her allies more effective in war, and help turn the tide against sworn enemies.
Cosmos Domain spells hold humble awe for the grandeur of cosmic creation. They can bridge the barriers of time and space that separate us from cosmic wonders, and protect us from the dangers that lurk among the stars.
Creation Domain spells are attained through reverence for the very matter that surrounds us, and the wonder that is all of creation. Creation spells, which are often cooperative spells cast by multiple priests together, can create wondrous and impressive works from the very air and sew abundance from the seeds of limited resources.
Day Domain spells are granted though the joyful worship of the sun. Evocations of radiant light -- often channeled directly from the Positive Energy Plane -- are the specialty of the Day Domain.
Death Domain spells are produced from the worship of death as a natural end to life. Death spells, many of which harness energy from the Negative Plane, tap the properties associated with death to further the goals of the mortal beings who struggle vainly against death's pull. Of particular note is the Death Domain's power over undead.
Destruction Domain spells come to those who meditate on the natural process of entropy in the universe. Just as all has been made, it will be unmade in the end. Priest spells of the Destruction Domain dissolve and bring ruin.
Elements Domain spells are available to priests who meditate on the fundamental building blocks of existence: the elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Elements spells channel the powers of these four material components into powerful tools.
Guardians Domain spells aid those charged with the stewardship of items, people, and knowledge of great importance. Guardians spells ward sacred spaces from intrusion and offer safe haven against those harboring ill intent.
Life Domain spells celebrate the persistent and indomitable forward momentum of life. Life spells accelerate the natural healing processes of our bodies and encourage the growth of new life.
Mind Domain spells look inward at the nature of the conscious mind. Mind spells offer the ability to fully liberate and harness one's own mind and shape the minds of others.
Night Domain spells are revealed to those who worship the dark mystery of night. Darkness, stars, moon and shadows are inspiration for its powerful portfolio of spells.
Omens Domain spells are the wisdom offered to those who hold sacred the portents of events distant in space and time. The signs are all around us, waiting for those insightful enough to perceive their prophecy.
Plants Domain spells come from reverence for the plant life around us. Plant Domain spells encourage the growth and behavior of plants beyond their normal abilities through imbuing plants with spiritual power.
Reality Domain spells are the reward for practiced contemplation on the philosophy and theories about the nature of the reality in which we live. Reality spells bend the logical fabric of reality itself to make room for new possible realities to bloom.
Rulership Domain spells are a boon for the leadership of mortal creatures. Those who hold reverence for the nature of powerful rulers have access to spells that inspire both loyalty and fear.
Salvation Domain spells come to those who hold strong will to protect and save friends, family, allies, and community. Salvation spells defend against harmful effects and prevent suffering or violence.
Spirit Domain spells are attained through reverence for the immortal seed of the divine that lives within all creatures and objects in creation. Spirit spells bolster the mortal spirit, and call upon the aid of immortal spirits beyond our mortal comprehension.
Weather Domain spells serve as witness to the power and majesty of the natural phenomena that shape the natural world. Weather spells harness these powers, from soft and subtle winds to thundering rainstorms.
