Several potential additions for the clerical spell school:

  • Bless: this could either be a low-level spell that works like it does in D&D where it gives you a to-hit and damage bonus, or it could be a high-level spell that blesses an item. Possibly it could bless items when cast at Skilled or above.
  • Sanctuary: a medium-level spell that effectively makes monsters treat the 3x3 area around you like a coaligned temple for a limited time, unless you take a hostile action which ends the spell.
  • Command: Drop: forces a monster to drop its weapon.
  • Inflict Wounds: medium-level spell that deals damage while being in the clerical school. Damage should probably scale with skill.
  • Hold Person: paralyzes a monster (or more strictly, a humanoid); fits right in since enemy priests can already cast this.
  • Silence: Temporarily stops a monster from reading a scroll or casting a spell. Not specified if this should be a debuff or create a region of silence.
  • Dispel Magic: Removes magical effects from a monster or multiple monsters. May be of limited use unless added to a variant where monster magic buffs are significant.
  • Freedom of Movement: Grants temporary intrinsic free action, allowing you to free up a ring slot.
