2 question: Divine Pretender
 
I suppose the answer to both is gamebalance over realism but:

As our pretender God is granting power to his priest why :

1- Is him/her/it ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ) unable to cast divine spell ?

2- Isn't a blessed unit ?

So, I guess that you decided to delegate that task http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Realism and religious spell mechanics... can be explained by any number of concepts. See real-world theology.

1. Perhaps religious spells are powered by faith - faith of someone else in the god, rather than self-faith.

2. The god doesn't need to bless himself. He already gets powers from his magic scales through Indirect Magic (see manual page 27) and by casting spells himself.
