When learning spells you could place each item under a script with a check to make sure that class has that particular deity flag with $client->GetDeity(); quest object after a quest you could use a quest::changedeity(id); which disconnects the toon, but would instill the appropriate flag.

There are so many things you could do with just this idea. Maze I will be saying at some point in the future I will be borrowing this idea to subclass my ascended classes. Thank you very much!
I have been working/planning on a server with complex deity=sub-class approach for sometime now (read years), i just don't have enough free time to run a server :(

I am rather disappointed in myself for not thinking of using this system as well. It is rather ingenious since the deity system does literally nothing but issue a restriction. There is no benefit to one deity or another which makes it easy to manipulate. My hats off to both of you!

Aye! The only example I have seen of someone utilising the deity system is Davood, on Alakamin iirc.
