Buffing holy power
It seems that the Crystal Shield does not work on people who have only holy power (it does buff holy power on mages who have other paths already). Is this a bug or WAD? I know there is an artifact or two, but is there any non-unique way to buff holy power on straight priests? You can't empower, you can't use a communion, there are no regular boosters...

What about Power of the Spheres? I don't know if it works on Holy.

Re: Buffing holy power
Actually, you can kill your prophet off, if he's in the hall of fame, reanimate him (via ritual of rebirth), wait 12 turns, and prophetise him again. Rinse and repeat.
Swords of justice/injutice, but their unique.
Hell Power? Power of the spheres? Dunno.

Re: Buffing holy power
In battle, you can use a communion on priest with astral or blood, it also boosts holy. I would expect that a crystal matrix works as well, but I've never tried it.

Re: Buffing holy power
Crystal/slave matrix works, yes.

Re: Buffing holy power
Valandil: Are you saying that if you reanimate a dead prophet he'll retain his H3 (or Hn+1) without being marked "prophet" anymore?

Re: Buffing holy power
I like it! Either "Once a powerful priest, always a powerful priest..." or "Old prophets never die, they just get reanimated and come back stronger!".

Re: Buffing holy power
Power of the Spheres is actually the effect that the Crystal Shield gives (casting PotS on somebody holding the Crystal Shield has no effect), so it only effects mage/priests.
To give some context of what I'm thinking about LA C'tis has a pretty cool H4 spell to buff all their undead, the H3 version only hits 5 squares, which is ineffective given the large amount of undead you're fielding. It seems like the only way to get a H4 priest before late game is to make a Lizard King your prophet...which obviously is limited to one at a time. Crystal shield, PotS, communion, hell power, and (presumably) Crystal matrix won't work on priests...

Re: Buffing holy power
The one time I wanted to do that w/ LA C'tis, I empowered my Lizard Kings with whatever path I had the most spare gems in at the time. After that, the mage-only path boosters work fine. This isn't cheap, but I was just fooling around in SP...
