**Theurgy Domain** characters draw power from **vows** kept to something greater: a god, a spirit, an ancestor, or a sacred ideal. Unlike the Incantor's inner elements or the Thaumaturge's book-learning, Theurgy is a **relationship**—power is granted, and it can be strained by broken promises. Theurgists bless, heal, and turn back the restless dead. A Theurgist might be a village priest, a wandering pilgrim, or a child who made a promise to the river spirit and kept it. ::: wrap tip 🕯️ Power Tag: **Divine** (or **Spirit**).
