A cleric is also a spellcaster, but very different from a mage. A Cleric uses their magic to protect themselves and others. They are also the best healers found on the mud, with the most powerful healing spells. Clerics lack the attack-spells which mages have. Their healing skills allow them to stand their ground in a battle though. A Cleric's prime stat is wisdom.

Player Review by Celest

Clerics are VERY hard to level in the lower levels because of lack of offense. Also, at the higher levels, clerical spells are 'moody'-- dependent upon the cleric level versus the mob level. Don't get me wrong if a cleric is above the mob's level, infrasound and ultrasound are quite powerful; this is a big IF though. Clerics are likely the most utility based characters on ma; close contenders are druids and adepts and mages. One HUGE factor in the cleric's favor is the ability to sanc other players (the only class on the mud that can do so). Clerics also have a multitude of healing potential. This healing can be focused upon themselves, making the clerics quite able to solo. A cleric is always ALWAYS a nice addition to a group, and is often an essential addition. Groups with a good damage dealing class, and a cleric, can tear through mobs like a Casey-Jones Train through crepe paper.

At the higher levels, clerics are highly sought after for their utility, summon, sanc, heal, godly steed, locate object, bless (the best in the game), cure (poison, blindness, etc.), return, etc. etc.

SUMMARY: Clerics = super healing, but low in the offense dept.
