Acolyte

Acolytes are special persons chosen by the gods. Heralded as champions and powerful beings, Acolytes serve as messengers to the gods. They are the conduits through which their deities interact with the Overworld.

Powers and Abilities
Acolytes are usually mages due to their large souls. This provides their deities with a greater source of power while benefiting the Acolyte as well. Additionally, Acolytes are usually mages of renown.

Possession
What makes Acolytes unique is their ability to merge their soul with a deity's spirit. This is usually done through a small ritual, although a deity can possess an Acolyte hastily in emergencies. When an Acolyte is possessed by a deity, they undergo several changes as follows:
 * Bright light emitting from the eyes and hands
 * Speaking in a two-toned voice
 * A detectable aura of Radiant energy emits from the Acolyte
 * Drastically augmented magical ability
 * Resistance to soul-devouring techniques
 * Resistance to all magic types except dark
 * Immune to radiant damage
