The Cleric Point buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. The Cleric Point Buy provides Packs for the Character to become proficient in specific types of powers granted by their god. Please read the Magic page to understand the full nuance of God Magic.

Religiosity

The Ability and Proficiency System
	This page involves the Abilities and Proficiency system, which is a core part of how Combat Roleplay and "Competitive" Roleplay works on Massivecraft. To see an explanation of general Rules, Terminology, and Mechanics used on this page, read the Abilities page. To see a broader explanation of the Abilities and Rules used on this page, read the Proficiency Page. To see an indexed list of all Abilities, read the Ability List Page.

Cleric Point Buy is mostly considered God Magic, which is Primal in nature, and exclusively granted to people who are devout followers of their God and Religion. God Magic is not something people are born with, except for Godborn, but something people are granted directly by their Gods, or through study in Temples, Monasteries, and Religious Orders. God Magic takes many different forms, and is especially varied depending on the Religion it is drawn from. Cleric Point Buy can, however, be treated as Planar Magic, for religions that favor Planar Magic, or for Characters who can't/won't mix God & Planar Magic. The previous rule is "all or nothing," meaning Cleric Point Buy Packs must be All God Magic, or All Planar Magic.

Cleric Point Buy Packs

Players are encouraged to "flavor" and manifest these Packs however they would like based on their Characters' Religion. The Ability descriptions, and Pack Names, below, are purely for OOC categorization and clarity. They are intentionally short and to the point of the mechanics, to encourage players to come up with their own fun ways to describe how they use their magic. For example, an Evolist might use their own blood to cast these abilities, while a Unionist might pray to conjure light, etc etc.
