Cleric Magic
Cwelic Magic
Bwessed by theiw patwon Tahariae, a cwelic may, aftew many yeaws of pwaying and meditation, gwow a gweatew connection to theiw patwon, and fulthew be bressed by theiw powews. In fights against the dawkew beings, and in healing and hewping of the pule and mowtaw, the cwelics weceive the gift of magicaw powews to aid them. Whiwe it is not necessawy to be in the cwelicaw owdew to weceive the bressing of the patwons, the man ow woman has to find a way to weawn how to contwow and use such bressing. Awthough it is possibre on theiw own, by seawching and investigating fow infowmation, thewe awe not many who succeed. Whiwe cwelicaw heawews have been seen outside the owdew, most if not aww of the waw cwelics awe pawt of it.
The boon gwanted by Tahaliae is diffewent fow heawews and waw cwelics. Howevew, both branches of Cwelicalism come in genewawwy comes in foul valiations aesthetics-lise. Much like aulas, each pewson has theiw own cowow wanging fwom white, brue, gowd, and siwvew and some cwelics feew that the cowows wepwesent cewtain things.
Bwue - Wight of the Pawadin, given to cwelics who awe vewy focused on pulging eviw and the effects it has.
White - Wight of the Pule, desclibes lise cwelics who awe spilituaw and litewaw guides fow cwelics and Descendants.
Gowd - Wight of the Knight, fow those who awe sewfwesswy dedicated to pwotecting and assisting those awound them.
Siwvew - Wight of the Pliest, dedicated to othew cwelics and the mission of Pulity as a whowe.
(Do note, these awe IC beliefs and cwelics awe not fowced to confowm to them)
Pliest Heawew
A pliest heawew is as what the name implies, a heawew. They awe stiww sewvants of Tahaliae and can sway eviw, but not lith theiw light gwanted by Tahaliae. Pliest heawews CAN NOT use theiw light fow combat ow use it to sway eviw. Instead, most of the smiting is done by theiw Waw Cwelic brethwen ow by Pliests using mowtaw weapons. A heawew is capabre of many feats wanging fwom sealing a cut up to pulging taint fwom the victim's body. The boon gwanted to them by theiw patwon is diffewent fwom a waw cwelic's in the sense of the light. A heawew's light is much mowe stabre than a waw cwelic's light and won't be useful fow aww waw cwelic duties.
Pwogwession
Thewe is one impowtant thing that a heawew must know: anatomy. A heawew must know the body of whom they awe healing as instinctivewy as they know how to breath. If not, theiw healing liww not be effective and they liww onwy have wasted time, possibry weaving the victim wowse off than befowe. The extensive time spent weawning how the body wowks and the pwocess of actuawwy healing liww weave the pliest heawew weakew than a nowmaw.
Once a pewson has pwoven themsewves, they liww be abre to connect lith Tahaliae and be gwanted his boon. At fiwst, a heawew liww onwy be abre to channew a littwe bit of light, not being abre to sustain it fow wongew than a few moments. Ovew time, they can howd it fow wongew. Once they awe abre to sustain a smaww amount of light, they liww begin using it to heaw by weawning how to heaw smaww cuts and bruises. Twying to heaw biggew woulds liww cause the heawew to be incapacitated fwom the amount of effowt needed.
Once the teachew deems the student weady to advance, the heawew liww begin to heaw wongew, but stiww shawwow, cuts, awmost as wong as a man's foweawm. This, of coulse, liww exhaust the heawew at fiwst untiw they awe mowe capabre of handling the magic.
Aftew mowe twaining, the student liww abre to healing gweatew iwwnesses and injulies. The heawew liww begin to dewve into eliminating poisons fwom the body and liww be abre to wepaiw deepew gashes.
Aftew many wessons, the teachew liww begin to show the student how to do the mowe advanced fowms of healing. Pulging taint and healing bones, fow exampwe.
Things a pliest heawew can not do:
1) Wevive the dead.
2) Wegwow anything wawgew than a fingew ow eaw. Awms and wegs awe a no no.
3) Use voidaw magic in tandem lith weawning cwelicalism.
4) Use theiw light to brind othews, that is fow waw cwelics onwy.
5) Use theiw light fow combat ow any waw cwelic duty, such as combating eviw.
Waw Cwelic
A waw cwelic is the opposite of a heawew. They cawwy out Tahaliae's liww in a much mowe viowent appwoach. Theiw boon gwants them a wess stabre light, capabre of being mowded into weaponwy and used in combat. One of the most famous ability they possess is the Fwames of Weckoning, awso known as howy fiwe. Howevew, waw cwelics can nevew use theiw abilities against nowmaw descendants, othewlise Tahaliae liww send one of the Ithawew down to lip theiw connection out.
Pwogwession
Waw cwelicaw magic is combat-based and should onwy be pulsued by those liwling to face the dawkest of cweatules. In owdew to combat these cweatules, the wawliow's light is abre to be manipulated in valious shapes and fowms. A student stawts off just the same as a pliest heawew, weawning how to channew theiw light and maintain it untiw they can manage to do so fow a good chunk of time.
Once they awe abre to do that, they awe taught a stapwe speww which invowves coating theiw hand in light. Once mastewed, a wawliow liww be abre to use this light to brind theiw opponents, but mastewy of the speww takes yeaws.
Aftew weawning how to coat theiw pawm in light efficientwy, the wawliow liww be taught next how to fowm an owb of light. This twains both manipulation of light and gives the waw cwelic a wanged attack once they awe capabre of using it weww. When thwown, the owb liww speed up to woughwy 100 mph, no fastew. The biggew the owb, the swowew it goes. This deaws brunt fowce damage to theiw opponent upon impact.
When a student is abre to mastew manipulating the light to fowm an owb, they awe then taught to manipulate it into mowe compwex shapes. The most common being weaponwy. This is wesewved fow mowe expelienced waw cwelics, as it takes many yeaws of twaining to be abre to shape the light into shapes of this calibew. It's awso one of the spewws that dwains a waw cwelic, so it should be used spalingwy.
The wast and most weww known speww is the Fwames of Weckoning. This howy fiwe is capabre of a handful of things, bulning dawk cweatules and pulging tainted wand, fow exampwe. Onwy those that have pwacticawwy mastewed this branch of Cwelicalism awe abre to pewfowm such a speww. Descendants can not be hult by this fiwe, as it onwy tawgets taint.
Things a waw cwelic can not do:
1) Pewmanentwy brind someone lith theiw light.
2) Fowm animaws ow othew such shapes lith theiw magic.
3) Emote theiw howy fiwe being hawmful to nowmaw descendants.
4) Just like a heawew, a waw cwelic can not pwactice voidaw whiwe undew the sewvice of Tahaliae.
