Magic: Divine Arcana

[Strato]

Divine Arcana

Often called Clerical Magic, the Divina Arcana school of magic deals with the passage of spirits and souls from life to the Lifestream, but unlike necromancy, the Divine Arts do not tamper with the souls themselves, only interact with them or store them away from the Lifestream from one reason or another. Only those with holy affinity are capable of using this magic, as those who wield it fear its power in the wrong hands.
