Guidance

Guidance is a very low-power divine spell practiced by Druids, Life Clerics, and, during the Apocalypse, God Clerics and Artificers.   Makar Mesaba is also capable of casting this spell.   Guidance provides a minor boon to another person's efforts to complete an immediate task, which can take a variety of shapes. Perhaps the spell grants a small insightful hint, guides a person to an optimal outcome, calms a person's nerves, or provides a sense of inner strength. Whether the effort is aimed at picking a lock, giving an inspiring speech, recalling a distant memory, lifting heavy objects, or riding a horse, the spell seems to work. A task that takes longer than 10 minutes seems to be unaffected by this spell.    The abstract execution, easy use, and flexible nature of the Guidance spell makes it popular among major organized religions. This spell, more than any other, can easily convey a sense that the 'gods' (whoever the may be) are ever-present, influence all things, and can be channelled by divine-casting religious specialists. Suweskivari religions in particular tend to frequently employ this spell as part of religious rituals, evangelism, and affirmations of divine connection.    This spell is both obviously magical and requires a physical touch between the caster and the target.
