Divine spheres, quick reference guide

There are thirteen divine spheres that theurgists and favored souls can use. Each sphere has five levels of power. You have to learn the ● power before you can learn ●●. You have to learn the ●● power before you can learn the ●●● dot power and so forth and so on.   Every divine sphere uses the same attribute + ability combination for all powers. Again, Divination is the soul exception which can use a wide variety of different attribute + ability combination depending on the oracle's means of contacting the divine.   Sphere List with their casting dice pools   Animal (Charisma + Animal Ken)   Augmentation (Charisma + Survival)   Crafts (Manipulation + Crafts)   Divination (Perception + Enigmas/Theology)   Healing (Charisma + Medicine)   Hexing (Manipulation + Enigmas/Theology)   Necromancy (Stamina + Enigmas/Theology)   Plant (Charisma + Hearth Wisdom)   Protection (Wits + Enigmas/Theology)   Purification (Stamina + Hearth Wisdom)   Spirit Magic (Charisma + Enigmas/Theology)   Weather (Stamina + Survival)   Wrath (Strength + Enigmas/Theology)       Favored Spheres   Each of the Nine specializes in different aspects of nature and civilization and each of the Nine has preferences in how they interact with mortals.

Enigmas or Theology

  A lot of theurgy uses Enigmas or Theology. While it is an oversimplification for the dozens of different religious sects in Scarterra and Scaraqua, essentially the Enigmas/Theology denotes whether the character accesses mystical power through meditation and personal spirituality or if they access mystical power via the application of formal dogma and orthopraxy.
