Benefits
Chosen of Mystra gain many benefits from her blessing, but there are a few notable powers that they gain. Obviously, they all have a greater command of the magic they wield, seeming to be able to cast more often with less effort. They also become more familiar with magic; able to detect its presence. In addition, many also develop immunities to magic, and eventually immunities to disease and poison. They become much more hardy, showing a toughness uncharacteristic of most mages.[citation needed]
Mystra's Chosen are also immune to the deleterious effects from the casting and wearing of a mantle: they suffer no loss of health or the removal of spells from their minds upon the raising of a mantle or the cumulative daily requirement of the spell.[15]
The most sought after, mysterious, and powerful benefit Mystra's Chosen gain from her blessing, however, is silver fire, a unique ability to conjure a silvery flame in a variety of functions.[citation needed]
