Since there seems to be no official ruling on granted spells and powers for priests of Mystaras immortals, I have started pondering and would like to propose the following compilation for discussion:
Spheres for Speciality Priests
by Knud GentzUsed material:
(1) Wrath of the immortals boxed set book one: code of the immortals, Immortals of the known world section. (The immortals described herein are those I have included here)
(2) Players Options: spells and magic: chapter 2( priests), especially the customised player characters section, for an idea on how to assess the special powers.
(3) Forgotten Realms Adventures HC: Gods and their specialty priests section in conjunction with dei_imm.html
(4) Tome of Magic: time spells (see Khoronus). I did not include spells from other tome spheres since they seem to be quite experimental and at least partly covered by some Mystaran specialties (eg travellers sphere vs Mystaran merchant spells).
(5) AD&D 2nd ed Players Handbook (of course)
(6) immortal.html with specpre.html and specpre2.html (which stops after Pearl regrettably and is IMHO not very balanced)
(7) some other minor material found on the web.
I mixed all of the above with special attention on the descriptions of the immortals from (1), adjusted a little for status (i.e initiate...hierarch), multiplied by thumb and came up with the following:
