Astral Magic

Astral magic is divine magic, relying upon the essence or raw energy of greater sources through channeling, ritual and prayer. Any magic that draws upon a greater source (typically sentient and spiritual) is classified in this category, making it the most powerful, yet unpredictable of the three spheres. The most typical example of Astral magic is the exchange of power from a deity to his priest.
