Saints

--- Quote from: Quantus on June 05, 2018, 07:50:01 PM ---Sainthood takes more than that though, it takes actual magic being blended with Faith.

Could be wrong but I think it was just being pointed out that Faith based magic/Saints might not require you to be Christian. It just requires devout faith in something + a wizard. Harry has faith in magic but I wouldn't call it devout. If Michael was a full on wizard he'd be a Saint I think because he is very devout. I also would say that in my opinion a Saint would be using Creation based magic (not corrupted by dark magic). In other words I don't think a wizard who's devout to the old gods, or a dark god could be a Saint.

Oh, sorry I was taking that point for granted. The Religion of choice does not matter, but actual Faith does. Harry can get wizard light out of his Faith in Magic, but for his magic to actually start Blending Faith Energy into it's workings outside of a religion (or other Faith, regardless of structure) I think harry's "faith" would have to reach higher levels of fanaticism.
Fcrate:
Two words for groinkick: Dark Saints.
Heh.

A dark god most likely not but..
And why could a wizard devout to the old gods not use creation magic? The skinwalkers words to Harry about his creation magic suggests otherwise. You might need a creator god but there were more of those.

Two things:
1) Personally, Rashid was my go-to with his "Blood of the Prophet" statement.
2) This quote possibly takes on new meaning:
--- Quote from: Small Favor ---I bit out a little laugh. “Yeah. You’re a saint.”
“One day,” Nicodemus said. “One day. But for now, let’s say a face to face meeting. A talk. Just you and I.”
