cbm 194/divine magic

so in order to get a boost in holy magic, he would have to have some other magic path? that would make sense, as i have made an ulmish commander my prophet(read: no other magic).

well, that fixes the mystery, but leaves me in a quandry...

So, Crystal Shield on a just-holy-man has no effect, but if holy guy has any magic he gets holier --- is that correct?

[GFSnl]

Yes

[JonBrave]

OK, Why? You guys are good at providing reasonable explanations, in the Dom 3 World: Why does having a Crystal Shield make you Holier but only if you have some other magic paths?
