Divine magic (the Power) was magic granted from prayer to the gods.[2] Practitioners of divine magic were known as divine spellcasters.
While divine magic could not function without the Weave,[3] spellcasters who used divine magic had no ability to manipulate the Weave directly.[2] Clerics, druids, rangers, paladins, and blackguards predominantly used this type of magic.[2] Although in actuality, druids received their power directly from their patron deities, they often thought of this power as coming through nature.[4] Only deities with a direct tie to nature could provide spell power to druids.[5]
When divine spellcasters used such magical power granted them by the gods, often a tangible feeling of appreciation was felt by the caster, manifesting in different ways depending on the patron of the practitioner.[2]
