Divine magic derives from the power of the Gods themselves, who grant this Entitial energy directly to their devout worshipers capable of channeling such energies. The focus of Divine magic varies depending on the deity granting the power, but usually depends heavily on ritual and/or prayer… only the most devout receive the blessings of the gods, who will only grant their grace when properly called upon.

Places of Divine power are called Hallows and are sanctified either through the prayers of the faithful or by a particularly devout action or event associated with a deity or group of deities. Unlike Nodes, Hallows can be created and often must be maintained through periodic prayer or reaffirmation. A Hallow ignored will fade in power over time, eventually fading altogether (though particularly powerful Hallows may take decades or even centuries to fade entirely).

Priests and Clerics, those who can tap into Divine energies, tend to be somewhat scholarly in nature, though their intellectual pursuits are tempered by a deep faith.
