Divine Magic

Unlike natural magic, divine magic is power that comes from an outside source and consists of the abilities granted by the gods to their chosen followers; what a divine caster can do depends entirely on which god or goddess they follow. Due to the more narrow scope of these powers, they're generally considered a side benefit of service to a god rather than a goal in and of themselves.

Sources of Power

Wile divine power stems from the gods, it shares similarities with natural magic due to the fact that it still faces the limitations of the user's own body. Both types are limited by the user's control; though divine magic is fueled by the nearly limitless power of the gods, it is only as strong as the individual that shapes it. It falls upon the lifeforce, the inherent source of power in a mortal body, to serve as a conduit that this external magic moves though, and as such there are similar restrictions upon how much power can be contained and utilized.
Though it'd be easy to see divine magic as an 'easy' option when compared to the rigorous study and training of a mage , the truly ambitious still tend to favor natural magic as the source of their power. Given its origin, divine magic is entirely at the will of the god that grants it; it can be withdrawn instantly, and is much more limiting since most gods grant their followers only a few distinct abilities. Due to this, those who serve a god do so more out of other personal motivations rather than simply ambition to power. Divine casters whose duties may involve frequent conflict, such as Hounds of Eihel, typically supplement their gods-granted powers with natural magic or weapons training.
Though it is possible in rare cases for a god's servant to be allowed to draw upon unformed divine power rather than the specific abilities granted to them by their god, it's rarely recommended. Doing so has inherent dangers that far exceed those posed by natural magic; mortal bodies, no matter how strong or skilled, simply aren't meant to access power of that magnitude. Even a human, with a lifeforce more suited to releasing a burst of raw power, will quickly begin to break under the strain.
The only individuals known to have a greater capacity for this are the Reapers, who were made with the express purpose of being able to channel a portion of a god's power. Their ability to do so comes only from the fact that their bloodline was purposefully altered by the The Skinwalker in the distant past to be able to do so, and even a Reaper will suffer the effects if they access that power too often.

Granted Abilities

As previously mentioned, the abilities of a divine caster are fairly specific and defined by which god they serve. The following is a brief summary of various abilities and benefits granted by each god; some of these are gifted freely, while some are rare gifts that very few are given access to.
