Spellcasting

You know all spells on the Priest Spell List.
Each day, you prepare spells from your list, like a cleric.
Your Wisdom score determines your maximum spell level, your bonus spell slots, and your DCs.

Divine Manifestation

You may manifest divine power to produce various effects.

You may use manifestation 3 + Cha times per day.

All priests gain the following abilities:

Turn Undead: Standard action, close burst 10, Will negates; subject undead flee as if frightened for 1 minute; can affect a maximum of 1/level + Cha creatures, closest first.
Holy Surge: Standard action, close burst 10; inflicts 1d6/level positive energy damage against undead; can affect a maximum of 1/level + Cha creatures, closest first.

Evil priests, or neutral priests of evil deities, also gain the following ability:

Command Undead: Standard action, close burst 5, Will negates; subject mindless undead are dominated.

:You may only command mindless undead. You are subject to a hit dice limit on all controlled undead equal to your level. Any undead you attempt to control whose hit dice would put you over the limit is immune to the attempt. Giving orders to a mindless undead is a standard action; you telepathically relay the orders, but the orders must be simple enough for a mindless creature (essentially animal intelligence) to understand. You cannot see or hear what your controlled undead do.

Every 3 levels, starting at level 1, you gain a new divine manifestation. See Divine Manifestations.

Reserve

As a priest, you gain a special reservoir for storing magical energy, called a reserve.

When you prepare a spell with duration: reserve, the spell will remain active as long as it is prepared. You do need to begin the effect immediately.

For example:

In the morning, you prepare Divine Inspiration and two slots of Divine Favor.
You cast both spells on yourself, and retain the bonuses all day long.
You later cast the remaining Divine Favor on an ally; the ally retains the bonus all day long.

You may leave slots open for reserve spells. It takes one standard action to prepare a reserve spell into such a slot, and then it must be cast as normal.
