	Magic and religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A belief in magic as a means of influencing the world seems to have been common in all cultures.
		It is at this stage of development that highly codified and elaborate rituals, setting the stage for formal religions, began to emerge, such as the funeral rites of the Egyptians and the sacrifice rituals of the Babylonians, Persians, Aztecs and Maya civilizations.
		One of the more controversial practices in magic and religion both, this involves a sacrifice to a supernatural being, such as a god, angel, or demon, who is asked to intervene on behalf of the person performing the sacrifice.

	Divine Magic - WoWWiki
		Most of the divine beings of Azeroth (known as Eternals) are distant entities.

	The Dragonhunt -- Magic
		Divine magic points are also used to summon angels, to boost the power of guardian angels, or possibly for other granted powers.
		Since arcane magic comes from within, rather than from the intervention of a divine Power, arcane magic points are determined by the mage's attributes as well as his level.
		Each school of magic must draw 90% of its spells from those two roles; only one spell in ten, roughly, can be "miscellaneous." A single-classed mage may learn two schools of magic; he can multi-class into additional mage classes if he wants, gaining an extra two schools for each class.

		Divine Magic involves the channeling of power from extra-dimensional divine beings of power, whose assistance is usually gained as a result of worship and obedience to the entity.

	Arista: the Nature of Magic
		Magic flows into the world, and is shaped by the Gods into the structures that make up the world, whether that be a rock, a human or the emotion Courage.
		Divine Magic works when a deity grants a little of his or her shaping ability to a follower.
		Arcane Magic, on the other hand, is the result of pride, domination, determination, and the desire to control or alter the environment.

	Feyworld - Magic
		Magic is a powerful force in Feyworld, but it does not affect the everyday life of most people as it does in many Dungeons and Dragons campaign settings.
		Magic is a pervasive part of Feyworld, but it has a strange effect on the so-called mortal races, such as humans, orcs, dwarves and hobbits.
		Because of the dangers inherent in planar magic and the lack of extensive knowledge on the subject in academic circles, this theory is extremely difficult to prove or disprove.

	Owning Your World part 2 -- Making Magic Work \| Gamegrene.com
		Arcane magic on the other hand is more of a hermetic pursuit; the intellect, will, or force of personality acts as the medium through which the caster controls unseen forces to bend reality to his will.
		You could opt for a model where magic is only capable of relatively mundane effects but is as common as freckles, and likewise you could have a great deal of power in the hands of relatively few people.
		For example, a world with very common magic drawn from a known source that is capable of incredible effects will not likely develop technology as fast as a world with the opposite: uncommon, weak magic, drawn from a mysterious or unknown source.

	Mixing Magic - A Bad Idea, Anyway
		It was as if they wanted only two kinds of magic - divine and arcane - but wanted to give an example of a specialty class for each type as well, hence the druid - a specialty nature cleric - and the illusionist - a specialist magic user.
		This is why arcane casters can recognize divine spells, and vice versa, despite what some may feel, since they are well versed in ALL kinds of magic and not just their own.
		No list is probably ALL arcane or ALL divine - not even the wizard's list or the cleric's list - but through a variety of reasons, may be some odd mixture of arcane and divine magic unique to a character, or unique to a particular class.

		As the divine and ideal world was the basis of the existence and form of the Universe, so knowledge of the spiritual is the basis of magic.
		elestial magic or magical astrology thus concerns itself with the middle world, that of the Zodiacal powers, which are a universal archetype of Reality and control the generation and corruption of all things in the material realm.
		This is a branch of natural magic and combines together the occult (in the original sense of hidden) virtues of things at an astrologically appropriate time, through the use of talismans and amulets.

		Their magic is able to bend reality, but they must be careful not to bend it too far lest people learn of their continued existence and the past will come again...
		Each time they evoke magic, they then have to face the reality backlash (with a value proportionate to the effect they created) which is defended against with the remaining points in their Magic pool.
		They normally recover at a rate of 1 Magic Point per round, which is quite quick, though the initial MP recovery has to wait an amount of time appropriate to the amount spent (for example: I spend 4 Magic Points and it takes 4 rounds before I'll start getting the points back 1 per round).

	Realmswatch -- Realms Roundtable Magic
		The archmage and the hierophant represent the pinnacles of divine and arcane magic, with abilities like arcane (or divine) reach that allow you to make melee touch attacks at a distance, increase your spell DCs, lend your turn undead abilities or druidic powers to another being, or channel spells into long-range raw magical energy.
		Other prestige classes are the runecaster, which enhances the abilities granted by the Inscribe Rune feat, the Red Wizard, which sacrifices additional schools of magic to boost DCs and gain cooperative magic, and the shadow adept, which jumps into the abyss of the Shadow Weave with both feet and comes out with strange powers.

		Creating Undead: powerful Arcane magic can animate the bodies of anyone, mortal or arcane, who was not properly buried by someone with the Devout Belief feat or who did not have Devout Belief at the time of their death.
		Fortunately, this magic is used infrequently at best: the secrets of animating mummies seem to be known only to long-undead Kaikuhurans, and nearly all vampires are created by another vampire, not by pagan magic.

		The height of giants, the deadly touch of undead creatures, the siren call of a Harpy, and breath of a dragon are all examples of this "use" of the Weave.

		More specifically, I'd want divine spellcasting in my setting to revolve on a personal (but not necessarily fair from a mortal viewpoint) relationship between the deity and his servant, notably one where the servant is there to serve and submit.
		Magical aid (eg divine spells) bestowed upon mortal servants should be considered to be a big and serious deal to any deity.
		Rather, there are magical beings with enough magic to keep them alive forever, and to grant their servants miracles in return for service and PP's.

	Alia:Religion and Divine Magic - RPGnetWiki
		Where arcane magic is harnessing the power of the universe through mental discipline, divine magic is another approach where casters surrender to the flow of magic through nature and work with the universe instead of struggling against it.
		Beneficial Divine magic is seen as the magic of life and in harmony with nature where Destructive Divine magic is seen as the magic of Death and the magic of the spirit world.
		Clerics and other Divine spell casters do not get their spells as granted powers from their god, but are casters of magic in their own right.

	Chapter 4 - Magic System
		Two broad categories of magic exist in Crossfire: "wizardry" and "divine magic." The fundamental difference between the two comes down to the source that powers the magic of each.
		In divine magic the practitioners, "priests," do not use their own power but rather channel power from divine entities ("gods.") They utilize various "prayers" to cast their magic and grace is the measure of how much magic the priest may channel.
		Weapons and armour have no effect on the practice of divine magic but grace regenerates slower than mana, and the amount of grace that a priest possesses helps to determine the success of their prayers.

		These divine points would be "spent" for divine magic, upon demand, from the appropriate deity.
		Because the character has a magical relationship with his god, and because he previously sacrificed some POW, he can "call the favor." This favor is answered in the form of a predictable, magical effect: a divine spell.
		Much as rune magic might be seen as a "limited DI," Divine Intervention might be said to be "super rune magic." The basic idea: take the god's spell lists (both divine and spirit) as a rough guide to the possible effects from DI.
