[QUOTE="Woman of Faith, post: 73578239, member: 77648"] I agree, we want God getting ALL the glory, so magic, mana or any other euphemism would have to be right out. The thing is, in a fantasy setting, it is difficult to say your character can do anything and still have a good story. Good stories have conflict. You cannot have a bunch of PCs running around, all able to do anything. At least I can't. All power must come from God, yes. However, not all Christians are able to use their faith at will to do whatever they want. I like an element of reality in my stories and it is not real to say any PC can breathe fire, stop the rain and raise the dead at will. Now, can these things be done? YES! Through the power of God. However, being able to channel that power must come from a deep, personal relationship with the Lord. Jesus Himself prayed daily, He needed to commune with the Father. He needed that contact. A PC who hopes to wield great power and overcome great odds must also have that contact and that communion with the Father, lest he suffer the same fate as the sons of Sceva. [/QUOTE]
