Priest Question

In such case it must be buggy, because in my recent Atlantis demo game I've seen my Basalt Queen prophet casting Word of Power.
Basalt Queen has base priest level 3, prophet gives +1.
I'm pretty sure no items were involved. I could've gotten some from random event, but I doubt it.

If it's a mage-priest with Astral, cast Power of the Spheres.

Word of power is a H4 spell, so there's no bug there.

Ok, just tested it - Ring of Sorcery doesn't increase priest level.

So strike no.6.

Another item that increases priest level is Sword of Injustice. It used to increase unholy levels in Dom2 but since there is no more unholy it incrases holy now.

There's a blood spell that boosts all paths by 2 for the duration of a battle, at the exspense of horror marking the caster and calling a bajillion horrors to eat everything in sight. If power of the spheres boosts holy, the blood spell probably does too. BTW: comunion definatly used to, not sure if it still does. Dead heroic prohpets could be revived with ritual of rebirth, and, after six months, made into prophets again, further increasing their holy skill. That was in Dom2, not sure if you still can.

It definetly does. My theurgs can cast smite as long as there are two communicants on the battlefield.

Another test; Ring of Wizardry doesn't increase priest level either. I guess that is a change from Dom2 as it did increase priest levels there.

BTW. Ring of Wizardry now costs 65 astral gems and requires level 6 in astral to be forged.

Instead of making your theurgs smite, get a large number of communicants and cast holy avenger+have a lucky arch theurg cast phoenix pyre, nearly immortal suicide bombers ftw! . Ring of wizardry not increasing holy is annoying but anyone who can forge it can probably make a communion.
