:<h4>Spells Gained at a New Level</h4> | |||
Characters who can cast divine spells undertake a certain amount of study between adventures. Devout faith (which is a requirement of being a Divine caster) includes much study of the strictures, guidelines, and dogma of your faith, which imparts a strong foundation in the divine magics available to the faithful at each level. Each time such a character receives a new level of divine spells, he or she "learns" (or essentially already knew about) all the new spells from that level automatically, and can recognize those spells when they are granted to them for use by the Deity involved. | : Characters who can cast divine spells undertake a certain amount of study between adventures.

:<h4>Independent Research</h4> | |||
An extremely faithful and spiritual divine spellcaster also can "research" a Divine spell independently, exploring the full extent of their Deity's worldly manifestations. In such a way, they may gain deeper insight into their religious doctrine than the typical worshipper, and thus may recognize more aspects of their deific might than most. Only the discoverer of such a deeply personal spell can prepare and cast it, unless they decide to share this deep insight with others. | : An extremely faithful and spiritual divine spellcaster also can "research" a Divine spell independently, exploring the full extent of their Deity's worldly manifestations.
