Cleric is a job depicting a religious official or member of the clergy of any religion. It is the primary white spellcaster.
Description
Cleric is the primary white spellcaster.
Clerics channel the power of their faith in a cause or higher being into potent magic.[1] Most clerics are part of a formal church, cult, or other religious institution and wield either white or black mana. White-aligned clerics specialize in healing and protection, while black-aligned clerics spread fear and pestilence and often share a bond with the undead.
Clerics are part of the party.
