"What you see is merely the raw, 'unrefined' form of faith, full of impurities. But what we have here before us is the 'finished product' after being 'processed' by a Divine Spirit."
The two Legendary Mages launched into a heated debate over the true nature of the "Power of Faith."
One was an authority on the study of faith systems.
The other, an expert in manipulating souls.
Neither could convince the other.
Raylo listened to their argument in silence, but inside, his mind was a tempest.
He recalled the contents of the letter he had read in the world of the "Heart of Arcane."
The Mages of that world had rejected the Light Deity's teachings precisely because they could not accept a "god" that needed to rely on the "faith" of its followers to sustain its own existence.
They believed that Power came from within, from exploring the very source of the world, not from empty prayers.
