Clerical magic is a divine gift, empowering the faithful to both smite foes
and protect allies. Among its many spells, Shadow Torrent and Holy
Presence stand out as potent examples of destruction and defense.

 Shadow Torrent unleashes a surge of divine shadow, damaging enemies and
afflicting them with blindness. Unlike ordinary elemental magic, this spell
draws upon sacred power to overwhelm foes. However, it is ineffective
against those with a red aura, a mark of evil alignment, suggesting
that corruption grants them resistance to its effects. 

The spell requires control; it is not a simple projectile but a flowing
torrent that must be directed with precision. If properly wielded, it
becomes a relentless force, striking down those who stand against the
clerics divine will.

 Holy Presence surrounds the target with divine energy, reducing the
damage they take from physical and magical attacks. It grants the one
blessed by it a sacred presence, reinforcing their resilience in battle. 

Unlike many defensive spells, Holy Presence can be cast not only upon the
cleric but also upon allies, ensuring that those in need receive divine
protection. It is a privilege granted only to Deacons, signifying their
spiritual advancement and deep connection to divine power.
