牧師和專屬祭司們往往會因恐懼失去施法能力而擔心進入 荒宇wildspace。其實對這點無需再有疑問。當然,當牧師或是祭司進入太空時,他們神明的神力的確會發生一些改變,但多數時候,這些改變還沒到讓角色感到沮喪的地步。
Clerics and specialty priests tend to worry about heading into wildspace because they fear the loss of their spell casting abilities. There no longer need be any doubt. Granted, when a cleric or priest heads in space, some of the powers of their gods do change, but for the most part, the changes are not drastic enough to warrant any frustration from the character.
有些改變是積極的,但偶爾,神力可能會有所削弱、乃至消失——尤其是在祭司們進入 燃素海the phlogiston、與其神明失去一切接觸的時候。在進入到晶壁系中時,某一角色是否會與他的神明完全而徹底的分離?接下來的章節將詳述:魔法船牧師與專屬祭司在荒宇中時,諸神與他們的關係、以及諸神本身。
Often these changes are positive, but occasionally, the powers can wane somewhat, or even disappear, especially when the priest heads out into the phlogiston and loses all touch with his god. Is there ever a complete and total separation between god and character while inside the crystal sphere? This next chapter describes the gods and their relationships with spelljamming clerics and specialty priests while in wildspace.

這位神明的力量使得授予的法術將隨着祭司靠近晶壁而增強——請注意,國度天宇晶壁系Realmspace crystal sphere 是唯一存在該現象的晶壁系。此現象背後的原因是晶壁內部排列的符文與結界(詳見 天宇概述Sphere Overview)。
This god's powers to grant spells increase as a priest gets closer to the crystal sphere—please note that the Realmspace crystal sphere is the only sphere in which this phenomenon happens. This is caused by the glyphs and wards that line the sphere's interior, detailed in Sphere Overview.
在進入 荒宇wildspace 時,祭司的施法能力將提升1級。當牧師進入 赫卡斯星球H'Catha 與晶壁之間時,施法能力將提升2級,而到達晶壁一天旅程範圍內時,施法能力將提升3級。
When a priest enters wildspace, his spell casting ability increases by one level. Once the priest enters the space between H'Catha and the sphere, the casting ability increases to plus two levels, and when the priest is within one day's travel of the sphere, his spell casting level effectively increases by three levels.
隨着施法等級的提升,施法者可以施展比在「後方」時經驗等級所允許的更高等級的法術。對這些施法者而言不幸的是,這些提升都是臨時的。一旦上述條件不再成立,提升的法術等級將被移除。而一旦離開了晶壁系,祭司將喪失他的施法能力。若是進入了另一個晶壁系,這位祭司仍保持與 迪尼爾Deneir 失聯的狀態,直到再次進入國度天宇前,都將失去所有施法能力。
With all these level increases, the caster is allowed to throw spells that are higher in level than his "rear" experience would normally allow. Unfortunately for the spell caster, these increases are only temporary. Once one of the preceding conditions no longer exists, the increased spell level abilities are removed. Once outside the sphere, spell casting diminishes to nothing. If another crystal sphere is entered, the priest is still out of contact with Deneir, and all spell casting abilities are lost until Realmspace is again entered.

迪尼爾Deneir
文字與圖像之主The Lord of All Glyphs and Images,最初的抄寫員the First Scribe,歐格瑪的抄寫員the Scribe of Oghma
迪尼爾是文學與識字之神,藝術家和抄寫員的守護神。他的權力是準確無誤地呈現和描述,書寫與閱讀,傳送信息。傳說中,迪尼爾經常被描繪為歐格瑪服務的抄寫員,有時被認為是歐格瑪的右手。
Deneir is the god of literature and literacy, the patron of the artist and the scribe. His is the power to accurately render and describe, to write and to read, and to pass on information. In legend, Deneir is often portrayed as being a scribe in service to Oghma, and he is sometimes thought of as Oghma's right hand.
對寫信和記錄信息的人而言,向迪尼爾祈禱以避免出錯是很常見的做法。同樣的,藝術家在開始和完成繪畫前也向迪尼爾致意,尤其是泥金裝飾手抄本,講述故事的壁毯,以及任意用藝術捕捉真相的嘗試。
It's common practice for someone who writes a letter or records information to say a prayer to Deneir to avoid mistakes. Similarly, artists acknowledge Deneir before beginning and upon completing paintings, particularly illuminations on manuscripts, tapestries that relate stories, and any such attempt to use art to capture the truth.
迪尼爾信徒認為,沒有記錄和保存以供以後使用的數據將會丟失信息;識字作為神賜予的重要禮物,應當被傳播和教授。迪尼爾信徒多是忠誠的抄寫員和學者,他們和自己所信奉的神一樣,致力於保存書面作品,並體驗它們,因為他們認為迪尼爾隱藏在所有書面作品的行列、框架和段落中。迪尼爾牧師也宣誓必須接受任何人寫信和翻譯的請求。
Followers of Deneir believe that information not recorded and saved for later use is information lost. They consider literacy an important gift of the gods, one that should be spread and taught. His followers are scribes and scholars devoted, like their patron, to preserving written works, and also to experiencing them, for they say that Deneir himself is hidden within the lines, shapes, and passages of all written works. Priests of Deneir take an oath of charity as well, compelling them to accept the requests of others to write letters and transcribe information.
迪尼爾信徒往往是個人主義者,共同的信仰雖然將他們團結在一起,卻不太關注宗教等級和禮儀。這一行為有以下事實支持:迪尼爾的神術通常賜予給沉迷於書籍的人,而不是幻想自己是神殿的組織者的人。對教典《萬界和諧之書the Tome of Universal Harmony》的沉思,是獲得迪尼爾祝福最有效的方式。
The god's followers tend to be individualists, united by their shared faith but not overly concerned with religious hierarchy and protocol. This behavior is supported by the fact that Deneir's blessings of divine magic are more often bestowed on those who lose themselves in written works than on those who fancy themselves part of any temple or religious order. Contemplation of the faith's most holy book, the Tome of Universal Harmony, is the most effective way to become deserving of Deneir's blessings.
