Sacred Magic: Level 5 & 6 Spell List

The upper two levels of sacred magic, before we get on to the Great Mysteries.

Some of these spells are controversial ... O Death (and her little sister Level Drain), where is thy sting? James Raggi left raise and restoration effects out of his Lamentations rules entirely, to make the scary stuff scarier. The level drain argument has been hashed over many times - in a world running rife with wights, wraiths, vampires, spectres and so on, is it really fair to let drained levels stick? I figure it is easier to include the appropriate spell and let DMs exclude it, than the other way around.

Divine Intervention, if it was just Word of Recall, would properly be Silver magic. I've added more creative ways for the Divine to get you out of trouble, closing the lions' mouths, building a cage of fire around you ... of course, the god/DM is the one who chooses.
