Follow up question: Apart form clerics needing a piece of their god to cast magic, are there significant differences in how magic works in this word compared to D&D?
It’s mostly similar. Like in the 5e rulebook, which is my main source, clerics still need a holy symbol to cast spells. I’ve just narrowed what counts as a holy symbol.
I’m adjusting a bit as I go, and the main thing I’ve changed so far is how components work, and not all of it is nailed down yet.
Neat. For expanded magic options you might want to look a version 3.5 of d&d as well, lots the material is free on-line.
Is resurrection magic and speaking with the dead a thing in your story? I imagine it would spoil the drama a bit if you could just bring the king back to life. Although, if it is available, he was still murdered and keeping his return a secret might protect him from further attacks.
oooh, if they need a piece of their god to cast their magic, does that mean cleric spell focuses tend to be passed down through generations or master/apprentice lines? (I’m sure there’ll be more later but this is a really fun bit of worldbuilding!)

That sounds likes quite a restrictive magic system.

Girl, your father is probably the one who framed you.
