Clerics, The D&D kind Options

[hyzmarca]

So, I was building a mundane witch-hunter character with spirit pact and I just got to thinking, the Spirit Pact rules, with only a little bit of tweaking, present an interesting possibility.

Cleric
10 Positive Quality

A Cleric is an Awakened character who has pledged to serve a powerful free spirit, one bordering on Godhood. In exchange for loyal service, the Cleric's Patron Spirit grants him a measure of magical power.

Clerics differ from other religiously devout Awakened characters in that their Magic Ratings are not their own. A Cleric's Magic Rating is the result of a pact with a Free Spirit Patron. Whether Clerics were mundanes granted power or if they just have their Latent potential artificially Awakened is unknown; either way, they are totally dependent on their Free Spirit Patrons for their powers.

A Cleric may learn and use any skill in the Sorcery Group, but cannot learn spells.
Instead, a Cleric must pray for spells utilizing a Holy Symbol (a copy of his Patron's Formula). A Cleric may pray for a number of spells equal to his Magic Rating. If the Patron chooses, it may grant the Cleric the Innate Spell power for each spell the Cleric prayed for. It may also give the Cleric spells that were not on his list (limited by the Cleric's Magic Rating) or refuse to give certain spells.
Spells given this way may be revoked at any time and are automatically lost if not renewed by prayer every 24 hours.

Clerics can use counterspelling without restriction, can banish unnamed spirits (and can learn Banishing for this purpose), and can Enchant.

Clerics cannot astrally perceive or project, conjure or bind spirits, have Adept Powers, have a Resonance Rating, banish Free Spirits, have a Mentor other than his Patron, or be Aspected.

A Cleric who initiates doe not gain a metamagic. Instead, they gain an additional revokable Pact with his Patron.
