Cleric Sphere - All

The All sphere represents a cleric’s access to the most fundamental expressions of divine magic—those spells so universal in purpose, so intrinsic to the nature of priestly power, that no faith or philosophy can reasonably be denied them. Unlike the more specialized spheres, which reflect a deity’s specific ethos or portfolio, the All sphere consists of magic tied to the basic act of channeling the divine: healing minor wounds, detecting magic, purifying food and water, and performing simple blessings. These spells do not express a god’s character so much as the underlying mechanism of divine intervention itself. Whether the power flows from a lawful sun god or a chaotic trickster spirit, the All sphere is the shared, foundational grammar of priestly magic.

Because of its neutrality and universality, the All sphere is the backbone of a cleric’s spellbook, providing the essential tools required for survival, ritual practice, and basic adventuring competence. Though its spells are rarely flashy or devastating, they are indispensable—granting the cleric reliability and autonomy regardless of a deity’s more restrictive domains. When divine favor wavers or more specialized magic fails, the All sphere remains constant, representing the unbroken tether between servant and source. Even the most narrowly focused priesthoods depend on it; a war-god’s battle-priests may learn aggressive magic elsewhere, but they still draw upon the All sphere’s grounding presence to sustain their daily rites.

Scholars of the priestly arts often refer to the All sphere as the “spine” of divine magic, the universal inheritance of every clergy. Some claim it predates the pantheons themselves, a remnant of primeval forces from which the gods ascended. Others argue it is simply the minimum scaffolding through which mortals can safely receive holy power. Whatever its origin, the All sphere ensures that every cleric—regardless of culture, alignment, or deity—possesses the indispensable spark needed to act as a conduit for the sacred.
