Magic is inextricably linked to faith; what one believes in determines one’s access to the Spirit World.

Thus worshippers of fire entities have access to fire magic, and war priests know prayers to inspire armies.

All religions agree that there is a single divine force above the world. The Catholic nations call this force ‘God’ and see Him as a person – an immortal, unconceivable person, but one they can name and beg to.

The Mexica of the New World call it Teotl, which translates as magic itself.

Even miscreants and heretics acknowledge this force exists, although they assume it’s just a combination of natural forces.

Those that worship, study or understand this all-powerful force are capable of superhuman feats, understood by others as magic spells or divine miracles.

The greatest of these priests and wizards are so powerful in their worship that they become worshipped in turn, becoming the legendary heroes of myth and even the deities of polytheistic pantheons.

Catholics, who deny any divinity other than God’s, worship these individuals as Saints.
