301 Prayer of Holding I HOLDING
The Prayer of Holding spell allows a cleric to interfere with the evil controlling principle of an undead creature for a time. This can render them in a "sleep like" state (although they do not fall down) for the period of its duration.
The duration of the hold is based on the amount of energy a cleric can gather and the power of the creature target.
Mana cost is proportionate to half the target level (max 20).
302 Repel Undead REPLUND
The Repel Undead spell is the mainstay of the cleric's weapons against the undead. This spell allows the cleric to dispatch an undead being.
A spirit warding is required. If successful, the creature will attempt to run away. If this is not possible, the creature may shake the spell or may simply disintegrate. If the undead fails the spirit warding badly enough, it may disintegrate anyway.
Mana cost is proportionate to half the target level (minimum 2/maximum 25), if warded off by the creature. If the creature runs away, there is zero mana cost, or 1 mana if the creature disintegrates.
303 Prayer of Warding WARDING
This spell increases the moral fortitude of the target, allowing for greater resistance to attacks of various forms.
The defensive benefit is +5 DS/TD plus +1 DS/TD per cleric spells known beyond 303 (Max +20 DS/TD). Mana costs are proportionate to benefits (3 base mana +1/bonus)
Duration: 30 seconds/level
304 Holy Blade HOLYBLADE
Undead creatures are immune to many forms of attack. Normal blade weapons will not harm an undead creature other than to make ugly, but harmless, gashes. A cleric can use the Holy Blade spell, however, to give an ordinary weapon the ability to harm the undead.
This spell works on most weapons, however imperfections can cause a blade to be rendered unstable by this blessing. A cursed weapon cannot be blessed and often the resulting clash of diametrically opposed energies may prove catastrophic. A learned cleric's blessing may offer holy water critical capability. Also, certain magical weapons may be blessed if the casting cleric has great knowledge of their base spell list.
Duration: 3 "blessings" per level.
Note: 1 "blessing" is used during each attack, regardless of the outcome.
«back to top» 305 Preservation PRESERVE
This spell will prevent the soul of a fallen comrade from departing for the duration of the spell. This is useful when preparing for a resurrection or finding a higher level cleric capable of helping.
Duration: 30 seconds/level
Note: The soul must exist in order for this spell to work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
306 Holy Bolt HOLYBOLT
In the service of their gods, a cleric is able to conjure a stream of purified holy water and direct it against a target. Living or dead, the target amount of damage is dependent upon the cleric's aimed spell ability vs. the target's defenses. However, undead are known to have an extra susceptibility to the holy water's effects.
307 Benediction BENEDICT
The favors of the gods are often sought and are often granted through their faithful servants. Benediction permits the cleric to garner his/her god's favor and impart such benefits to those around them. Wherewith goes the cleric, so doth the favors of the gods.
The cleric may impart +5 AS and +5 DS to all those joined. The learned cleric may succor more favors to gain +1AS and +1DS per 2 known cleric spells beyond 307 (Max +15 AS/DS) at a proportionate increase in mana costs (7 base mana +1/bonus).
Duration: 30 seconds/level
308 Well of Life WELLOFLIFE
This spell allows the cleric to channel his or her spirit force to another character. The amount of transfer is based on the caster's mana transfer skill and other subtle factors. The spirit points are transferred, so the target's spirit points will go up and the caster's down by an equal amount. The spell will not let the cleric transfer such that he/she dies; meaning that the cleric will always have at least 1 spirit point left. This is a very taxing and arduous endeavor for the cleric and some recuperation will be required after a successful transfer.
309 Neutralize Curse NEUTCURSE
By gathering the favor of the gods, a cleric may nullify a curse and place it in abeyance for a short period of time. Once the spell's duration wanes, the curse will return.
Duration: 10 seconds/level
«back to top» 310 Warding Sphere WARDSPHR
Mastery of this spell enables the learned cleric to not only extend the benefits of the warding spell to those nearby, but also to increase its effectiveness.
The spell offers +10 DS/TD and +1 DS/TD per cleric spell known beyond 310 (Max +40 DS/TD). Mana costs are proportionate to benefits (10 base mana +1/bonus).
Duration: 30 seconds/level
311 Blinding BLINDING
This spell causes the image of the cleric's deity to be superimposed over him/herself. This vision will blind the target, causing it to be stunned for the duration of the effect.
Duration: 5 seconds/level
312 Raise Dead RAISEDEAD
Mastery of this spell allows a cleric to actually appeal to his or her deity to raise a fallen comrade from the dead. This spell is very taxing on the caster and success is not always assured. The target must have a soul (undeparted) for this spell to work and the body must be able to sustain life which means the services of an empath may be needed.
If successfully raised, the formerly dead character will have but 1 spirit point and be in whatever condition he/she was in prior to being raised otherwise. The character will not suffer any stat loss due to this death, so resurrection by a cleric is far superior to that of one of the gods.
The caster will lose 75% of the target's maximum spirit points. This is not to be confused with actual spirit points; this means that if the cleric has less than or equal to 75% of the dead character's spirit points, the resurrection attempt will kill him/her. For example, if the dead character has 10 spirit points, a cleric would need 8 actual spirit points to complete the resurrection (and survive).
Note: The dead character's soul must exist for this spell to be effective.
Expect significant round times for this activity.
313 Prayer PRAYER
By petitioning the gods through prayer and reverent communion, the cleric gains a modicum of protection to ward off spells (+15 TD bonus) and a bit of 'luck' to deal with maneuver attacks.
Duration is 30 seconds/level
314 Interdiction INTERDICT
Clerics are the masters of channeling mana. By the grace of their gods, the cleric may sanction the target's ability to harness mana, thereby depriving them of their magic for the duration of the spell. The duration is 5 seconds per number of cleric spells known.
The target will lose mana in proportion to the cleric's effectiveness (base spell knowledge) until the target runs out of mana. And will remain thus for the duration of the spell.
«back to top» 315 Remove Curse REMCURSE
This spell will completely dispel a curse from an item. This spell has limited abilities; sometimes objects contain a curse so set into the fabric of the object that it cannot be removed. Sometimes removal of a curse will also destroy the other powers of the object, but occasionally these two elements are independent and this may leave behind a useful item. There is always a chance this spell will fail in unpredictable ways.
316 Atonement ATONEMENT
By their will and dogma, the cleric can invoke this spell to consign their target with guilt and remorse so as to overwhelm their sensibilities. Thus encumbered, the target will hesitate in their actions from doubt, or retard their attacks from endless deliberations.
317 Zealot ZEALOT
To those who follow the true path, there can be only one Way. Any other choice is heresy. Thus are born the zealots whose minds and actions are solely dedicated to enforce the 'righteousness' of their enlightenment upon the world. For their single-mindedness, these clerics are imbued with great strength and conviction. Life is a mere trinket to idly toss aside in the service of their divine masters.
The cleric must be the leader. All those joined to the cleric shall gain +15 AS / -30 DS, +1 AS per 2 cleric spells known above 317 (max 30 AS / -30 DS) and will be unable to stance higher than offensive. Mana cost is fixed.
Duration: 10 seconds/level
318 Life Restoration LIFRESTORE
This is a higher version of 312, but draws more favor of the deity to soften the impact on the caster and the one being raised. The caster loses 50% of their maximum spirit points and the target is restored to 10% of their maximum spirit points and health points.
319 Divine Wrath DIVINEWRTH
Truly is the faithful servant rewarded by their deity's attention. By invoking their god's name, the cleric may summon the fury of their divine master to smite down the undead before them.

330 Prayer of Commune COMMUNE
Upon reaching this level in the cleric spell circle, the cleric is able to cast a commune spell in order to contact his or her deity. Casting this spell requests the presence of the deity who may or may not respond. If the deity does not respond, most of the mana points consumed by this spell are returned to the caster within a few minutes.
If the deity does respond, you will know it! The presence of a deity is not to be taken lightly, so use all due respect else risk losing the favor of the gods of Elanthia. The exact deity which responds is never quite assured regardless of which deity the cleric worships and serves.
When a deity does respond, your character may ask of him/her a few questions. The number of questions you may ask and the complexity are limited. A deity is known to respond in an ethereal manner many times and the best response you can usually expect is a prepositional phrase. You can be assured, however, the answer will be the truth if there is one.
As an example of how to be cautious with your questions:
A cleric, hopelessly lost in a maze asks, "How do I get out of this maze, lord?"
The deity responds, "By following the correct path."
You are cautioned to not attempt to pin down or outwit a deity who is being ambiguous, since there is usually a purpose in it. However you can expect that at times a deity will give very valuable information, especially when you are serving him/her in your quest.
350 Resurrect RESURRECT
The highest level spell for a cleric is the ultimate resurrection spell. It will raise a character from the dead with a loss of only 25% of the target's spirit points by the casting cleric. The deity supplies most of the work. In fact the target will be restored to 50% of their spirit and health points as well.
This spell is also known to do some amount of physical healing (in some cases complete healing), making it one of the most powerful effects a cleric can muster.
