so if I can produce a reason to FORCE pplz to chose my pretenders (the only earth/holy pretenders) then I can basicly force them not to have anyother magic path available to start with
but wait did someone say you can creat researchable holy spells?
So I could make a pretender w/o magic, create a bunch of holy spells too and let those have the effects I want?
so then
- no labs for my race?
- no magic
arg dammit
it would mean no forging too unless I create a whole bunch of holy forgable items (ehm is that possible?).. which would still require research in construction.. (which is no problem I realize now)
PS I realize a race like this wouldn't have many different strats (even less options than LA ermor).. but still could be fun.. if you like dwarves 
So I could make a pretender with high holy magic
I could create new holy spells to do damage or buff
the race could forge "holy" items
.. but can you make holy summons?
