| Divine spells (also called "miracles") require a spellcasting check and a Holy Symbol to cast, in place of components. Unless noted otherwise, each spell takes an attack action. Spells are more or less powerful, noted by spell level. Failing the check triggers a mishap with unintended consequences, and the spellcaster can’t attempt spells of that spell spell level again until they take a safe rest. | Divine spells (also called "miracles") require a spellcasting check and a Holy Symbol to cast, in place of components.

| Spellcasting PCs know a number of spells | Divine spellcasters, if they ordained priests, also know a number of [[Sacraments]]. These are key rituals that can be performed by ordained clergy, NPC or PC. These sacraments require no spell casting roll, if a properly ordained clergyman performs the ceremony, it is effective, regardless of his personal qualities or skill. A cleric or hermit player character can decide to begin play as an ordained priest, which allows access to sacraments, but might result in him being assigned to a parish or cathedral to perform services. Most templars are not ordained, only the chaplains of a commandery. A templar may apply to the local commander to be ordained once he reaches 2nd level (Charisma check, and perhaps a quest). |

| Casting a spell generally requires an [[actions|Active action]]. Each spell in the spell lists defines its requirements, duration, and whether the spellcasting check is a magical attack requiring the check to beat the target's defense (e.g. 10 + the target’s relevant modifier) to be successful. Each spell, apart from Cantrips and Rituals, is either marked **C** for Spell Casting Roll needed, or **A** for casting roll that must exceed target's defense rating, or **R** for spell that can only be cast as a ritual. If the spell is marked **S** it will inflict its effect even on disembodied spirits. | Casting a spell generally requires an [[actions|Active action]], although some can be cast as a [[actions|quick action]]. It is possible to cast several spells a round, but only 1 can be an Active action spell, the remaining must be quick actions (1 for a quick action, a second if you give up movement).
