Re: Priest Spells: Prayers & Rites
Rites using gold as the pay might be usable, though. Maybe not these ones, but something along these lines would add even more interest for priests. If these were to be added they should be used to spice up some spesific nations/themes and maybe come with spesific scale/magic levels with high Dominion, not given freely to everyone.
I don't think Holy 2 priests should be able to do much of anything. Compare them to level 1 mages. Should Sage with random in Earth be able to duplicate Riches from Beneath locally, for ~5 gems?
About holy/arcane magic combinations, I would like to see Tien Chi's Celestial Summon needing eg. FHHH or WHHH, so that only Celestial Masters could summon them. And *every* one of them would be able to do this, too! Unfortunately, that can't be modded. I don't think the game would allow that at all, though.
And remember that gold is almost always more common than gems, and that using gold instead of gems could unbalance the game quite severely unless lots of work and testing was put into it.
I do like quite amny of your ideas, though. It would be interesting to see them in the game.
