Druidic Magic

For the Druid career see: http://forum.blackindustries.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7927

Note: Although the Old Faith is a religeon and therefore The Old Faith should be
considered a Divine Lore, it predates the arrival of the newer Gods, and is a worship of
the power of nature rather than the worship of an actual nature ‘diety’. Also, unlike other
religeous Magic, the Druids of the Old Faith actively draw upon the Winds of Magic,
through the sacred standing stones. Therefore, in reality the Magic of the Druids has
more in common with Arcane magic, and for the purposes of rules should be considered
an Arcane Lore (therefore the Armoured Casting Talent may not be used with it, an
Tzeentch’s Curse is used rather than Wrath of the Gods). However, a wizard may not
take The Old Faith as an Arcane Lore, although Witches may take spells from this Lore
using their Witchcraft Talent.
