My feeling on the matter is that while you have to get certain spells from
temples of a given size you can regain them at anyplace sacred to the deity
you got it from. IMO this makes for better game mechanics. While it's one
thing to have players make epic quests to obtain certain spells in the first
place their attractiveness/usefulness would be greatly diminished if they
had to keep going back to regain it. How's that for expediency?
On a separate note an interesting web site related to mythology and
The few articles I looked at were kind of basic but there's a lot of
mysticism came to my attention. It's at: www.pantheon.org
information on different topics and if you're away from your Bullfinch's the
site may come in handy.
If people are interested in the URLs of similar reference sites I could post
some more.
Have a nice Easter.
