Devotee

Faction
Devotee is a class that an individual may choose if they pledge themselves to Apep’s Nest, the home of the Mages Faction and are in positive standing with said faction.

Summary
Those that manipulate the arcana that exists around them through assistance and strong belief in either nature itself, or a deity. Individuals can go years before realizing that their faith has gifted them with unique talents. Due to their connection to divine forces, Devotees have an affinity towards spells and magic that belong to Divination, Nature, Prestidigitation, and Weather Witching. Devotees can learn other types of magic as well, as long as a strong sense of motivation is apparent alongside the wanting to learn.

This being said, little to no spells are completely unavailable to either Devotees or Sorcerers. The only spells considered ‘difficult’ for both to learn are those that are considered Counterspells. If one is not either of these classes, they can still become a spellcaster but it would be more difficult for them to learn (especially if reputation with Mages is poor). The spells themselves are detailed in #spell-book and if there is no DC mentioned within the spell then the DC is the caster’s roll vs. the target’s roll.

Things to be mindful of: 1. As a caster when it comes to melee combat, it should be illustrated that you are weaker and less likely to skillfully wield a weapon opposed to others. You are frailer than others; the cost of casting magic. This rule is for Devotees and Sorcerers, but not limited to them. The moment an individual learns a spell, their body weakens. 2. The costs within the spells are required and must be RP'd appropriately if the spells states it. 3. Be mindful that spells do have the chance of failing. 4. Mages Faction is important to the opportunity to learn all spells, but is not the only place to learn. Lower, less powerful spells can be found within other Factions at their discretion.
