Divine Magic
Divine Magic is the Magic used by Priests. Its "spells" are appeals and prayers to the Gods, so no Research is required. With the exception of a single spell, Divine "spells" cost no additional Fatigue to use, but still incur Spellcasting Encumbrance. A successful Magic Resistance check negates all offensive Divine spells.
Blessing
| Spell name | Paths | Spell description | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blessing |  1 | This prayer can be used to bless the priest or a group of sacred warriors. Blessed units receive increased morale and additional powers if their God is powerful enough to claim a divine title. | Applies your Bless to friendly  Sacred units in 5 (+5 for every extra Priest level) squares within 15 (+10 for every extra Priest level) squares of the caster. |
| Divine Blessing | 3 | This is the same as the Blessing prayer, except that it affects all holy units on the entire battlefield. | Blesses all of your teammates on the field that can be blessed. Before 5.57, it took 25% longer to cast. |
Banishment spells
All Banishment spells require 1 and affect only 
Undead foes. You will have only one of these accessible to you in each game; you'll get a different spell from the generic Banishment if your Pretender has at least 4 in a Magic path in creation, determined by which path has the highest level, picking the leftmost path (
) in the event of a tie. There is no blood-specific banishment spell; if this is the highest path of your pretender, you receive the default banishment spell instead.
