Contact Home Power

The user of this spell establishes a tenuous link through the Astral Plane between his present location and that of the power he venerates. This link permits the priest to regain his spells as if the god is recognized and venerated within the sphere. Distance has no effect upon the priest's attempt to contact the home power, but dimensional gate, antimagic field, and the effects of dispel magic will prevent the use of the spell. Also, the spell will not function in areas that the power has been specifically banished from (whether from death of an avatar, banishment, or some voluntary action of the god). The cleric attempting to uplink with his power in such locations will be informed through the spell that such contact with his god is forbidden. the priest will not be given the reasons, however, as gods are noticeably reticent to explain why they cannot exert their power, preferring instead to look all-powerful to their worshipers. Passage into another plane (even the ethereal) will break the spell, as will dispel magic While the spell is in effect, the cleric will respond positively to a detect magic when he or she is receiving new spells.
