Default Re: Priest Spells: Prayers & Rites

Apart from balance, the proposed powers remind me of D&D like priests, which seems misplaced to me in Dom2. Where do the powers of a priests come from? In the D&D-view, those powers are directly derived from a priest's god who actually casts the spell in place for his priest. Now in Dom2 our wanna-be God travels the lands and is already busy casting spells for gems himself, and he can only use the resources his followers have gathered for him (gems, gold, resources).

So I would like some more moderate priestly powers, but they should be linked to the God as is the bless effect: If the God may cast Fires from Afar, then let his L3-priests cast some fire darts...
On the other hand, how does a god increase resources available to his followers? Is there a spell he can cast? Well, he can hand out some commandments, making hard-working a religious goal...but that is already there in form of the productivity scale!
