It is a source of power that turns a devout warrior into a blessed champion. Paladins train to learn the skills…

Brandish the Elemental Splendor of Genies Paladins sworn to the Oath of the Noble Genies revere the forces of the Elemental Planes.

An acolyte might spend years meditating and praying, performing virtuous deeds, and tending their flock, and still never gain the power to cast a spell; meanwhile, a smith who can't even read might feel Onatar's guiding hands and cast Magecraft. Divine magic requires two things: absolute faith and a…

Faith is a part of everyday life in the Five Nations. The people of Galifar were devoted to the Sovereign Host, and this echoes through its institutions—marriages are sanctified by Boldrei and judges swear oaths to Aureon. The Sovereign Aureon is the patron of wizards and magewrights, and Cannith artificers look to Onatar and the Traveler for inspiration. Many dragonmarked heirs assert that their…
