A Greeting and Question

[Norfleet]

Yes: The spell "Wish", level 9 Alteration, requires Astral 9 to cast, can be used to permanently raise all magic ranks by 1, if you wish for "magic power". Other than that, only empowerment can grant additional magic ranks on a permanent basis.

Many items, however, exist that will increase the wearer's magic ranks as long as he uses the item. The ranks are lost when the items are removed, however, so this isn't truly permanent....but it is usually good enough.

If you Wish for magic power, do you gain rank 1 in areas you presently do not have?

Yes! Why do you think I do it?

Hmm... I have only used Wish to increase magic power of my Pretender, which of course do not gives Holy/Unholy increase (Pretenders can't have them). Yet, do Wish gives Holy/Unholy level to non-pretender non-priest units? For that matter, does it even boost Holy/Unholy for units already with Holy/Unholy levels? Or is that a different wish, "priestly power" anyone?

Wish never boosts Holy/Unholy, only magic ranks. This is regardless of whether the unit wishing is a pretender, a holy or unholy priest, a prophet, etc. There is no priestly power wish.

Ah, that's what I thought. Hmm... are there any way of boosting Holy/Unholy short of making a prophet, or communion/sabbeth? Don't recall an item that does this...

And for wishing "Power", I know it increases the stats of caster, but do you know just much the increase is in each stats (e.g. 20% hp increase, +1 prot, or whatever they are)?

HP +50, STR +20, Atk/Def/Prec +10.

These are flat increases, not percentages.
