from the preface to the second edition: This Second Volume is dedicated to divine magic, and sees the description of over 430 spells and the introduction of new classes, in particular the Ascetic (a mystic with divine powers) and the Bard (now a divine spellcaster to make it more faithful to the historic figure of the first bards); the restyling of the Consecrated Champions, Druid, demi-human Cleric, and Keeper of the Relic to make it more faithful to the canonical material as well as some originality; the elimination of the Ranger class meant as nature’s champion (a role covered by the Druidic Defender, a type of Consecrated Champion); increased spell lists both for clerics and druids to make them more versatile; and an appendix with different spell lists for each Immortal, to make each cleric unique based on their own faith.
