Orison

An orison was the divine spellcasting equivalent to cantrip. Priests of all mythoi learned various orisons as acolytes.

Effects
Unlike cantrip, an orison had a specific effect, but the priest could choose which effect at the time of casting. Orisons typically lasted one minute, but advanced worshipers could increase the duration. A typical student could master four orisons and cast them daily. As the priest gained experience in channeling divine power, more orisons could be cast per day.

Known orisons included:
 * Alleviate : Gave temporary relief from pain or nausea to a sick or wounded creature.
 * Calm : Soothed a creature that had been startled or frightened.
 * Clarity : Gave the priest the ability to speak clearly and be heard, usually when performing rites and rituals.
 * Courage : Gave the priest a momentary boost to combat prowess.
 * Guidance : Gave the priest clarity of thought to make better decisions.
 * Healing : Allowed a healing touch for minor cuts and scratches.
 * Magic sense : Gave a slight prickle of awareness when near a steady magic effect or item.
 * Memory : For the duration of the spell, sights, sounds, and/or text and speech the caster wishes to remember are engraved in memory and are more likely to be recalled exactly as they were initially experienced.
 * Resistance to magic : The caster gains a slightly better resistance to magical effects for one exposure to undesirable magic, or until the spell ends, whichever comes first.
 * Resistance to poison : The caster gains a better chance to overcome the effects of one exposure to a poisonous substance, or until the spell ends, whichever comes first.

Worshipers of evil or chaotic deities had offensive orisons, but they were quite rare.

Components
Only verbal and somatic components were required to cast these minor spells.
