Religion is Magic	comment	Faith and power have always gone hand in hand, and not just power in the spiritual and social senses — religion and magic were the same thing for most of the world's history. Every religion's most devoted practitioners are associated with supernatural powers — often by people within the religion itself, and almost universally by those outside it. Going the other direction, having magical powers has, historically, meant that person was associated with some sort of supernatural entity, whether calling upon the gods or consorting with evil entities. (One possible exception is Greek mythology, where magic was the "art of controlling the secret forces of the cosmos", but even their priests still begged their gods and other higher powers for favor.) This is also true of Eastern religions such as Buddhism, but treated somewhat differently; many Asian traditions ascribe mystical powers to those who have, through meditation and spiritual growth, become more closely attuned to the truth of the universe. They are not seen as contacting a specific supernatural entity; rather, through religious experience, they attain a mental state of connection with the living universe that grants them abilities beyond normal humans. Going further, some esoteric or shamanistic schools of Japanese Buddhism feature an inversion of this contact with entities, as converting and controlling spirits and Oni is part of their folklore. Even the word "magic" comes from religion; it is derived from "magi", the Persian astrologer-priests. (The word is translated as "wise men" in some versions of The Bible.) The Bible began to split the two concepts apart — it mentions followers of "false gods" being able to perform magic, usually in contrast to much more impressive miracles (though this can be said to be a type of magic) performed by God (and explicitly not performed by the prophet himself), but generally explains this as power granted by the Devil. And if it is granted by the Devil, it must be evil. The modern idea of a 'wizard' — somebody who can just do magic entirely on their own, whether born with the gift or trained in mystic arts — originated in ancient Greece, where it eventually died out, only to later redevelop in the 20th century, and was not solidified until Dungeons & Dragons made a strong distinction between Priests and Wizards ("divine" and "arcane" magic, respectively). The increasing importance of science and technology in our world has trained people to think of even amazing and wonderful events as being under human control and within human understanding, and our concept of magic has similarly changed into something closer to "science we don't understand", with comprehensible, repeatable rules, rather than begging for favors from entities greater than us (though that may still be an option in some fiction). This change in understanding has affected our view of some historical forms of magic. Hermetic Magic and Alchemy tend to be presented today as "science-like", though their practice involved a great deal of calling out to spirits, angels, and other such entities. Common magical religion powers include Turn Undead, exorcism of demons or other spirits, and other variations on Holy Burns Evil. A Church Militant may also get the Holy Hand Grenade. Subtropes of Religion Is Magic include Fantastic Catholicism, Magical Native American, Hollywood Voodoo, Hollywood Dreamtime, Asian Rune Chant, and Sentient Cosmic Force. Compare Alchemy Is Magic.

The name of the religion seems to denote they worship someone named Shila (with o and sama for politeness's sake), but precisely how that worship is carried out is never mentioned - maybe the god/goddess just likes to watch Cat Folk sweat?

Religion is Magic / int_1f76648	comment	A major element of A Certain Magical Index, where each religion appears to have its own brand of magic since mages identify themselves by which church they belong to. Kaori being a part of a combination Christian/Shinto church effectively allows for her to combine magic styles. In contrast, the series' users of Psychic Powers are influenced by science. Any and all religious objects (crosses, Aztec sacrificial knives, clerical vestments, etc) are enchanted with powerful magic. As the series goes on, it seems it may be more correct to say that magic is based on systems of belief rather than religion specifically. One magician introduced in the New Testament series has powers based on the story of Cinderella, for example, and others have powers based on folklore. It just so happens that major religions are among the largest systems of belief, therefore they are what most magic is based on.

Religion is Magic / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: In most settings, light and healing magic are said to originate from clerics, bishops, and priests invoking the power of and worshipping the respective gods or holy beings of their setting.note Naga for Archanea, Jugdral, and Ylisse, Mila for Valentia, Ashera for Tellius, Sothis for Fódlan, etc. Elemental and dark magic ordinarily do not have this requirement.note Elemental magic originates from intangible spirits of the elements that an elemental mage channels, while dark magic is based on gaining forbidden, dangerous knowledge. In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 dark magic is exclusively practiced by members of the Religion of Evil, the Loptyrian cult, who worship the malevolent dragon Loptous and concoct plots to Take Over the World and put themselves and their god in charge. They can magically poison people, life drain them, and conjure shadowy tendrils to attack them among other things. In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Lucius is explicitly a priest of the Elimine Church. Kenneth, a heretical priest who explicitly denounced the gods and worships the main villain Nergal, is still able to use light magic, suggesting that the existence of faith matters more than its recipient, which also handily explains why the Black Fang is able to field generic monks. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the Faith skill is an explicit measure of how ardent a believer a character is in the Church of Seiros, and leveling it teaches White Magic. More devout characters tend to be proficient in it, while those who hold the church in contempt conversely have it as a weakness.

Religion is Magic / int_2372359	comment	The Belgariad, also by Eddings, is a curious case. There are several forms of magic - sorcery, wizardry (demon-summoning), witchcraft (summoning other kinds of spirits), and foreseeing. In some cases these appear spontaneously, as with Vordai the witch and Senji the alchemist. However, most magic-users (of all types) seem to acquire their power by association with either a god or one of the Prophecies. Most of Torak's Grolims are sorcerers with varying degree of skill, and their power only exists in lands where Torak has worshipers. However, disciples of a God, such as Belgarath and his brothers, take their power with them anywhere. Also, it seems that magic power once granted cannot be taken away; Torak's Grolims keep their sorcerous powers even after Torak himself is dead.

Religion is Magic / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls: "Miracles", along with Sorcery and Pyromancy, are one of the three types of magic. Miracles are obtained by looting corpses, receiving them directly from the gods themselves... or from certain NPCs who give or sell them. That's right. Not only does religion give you superpowers, it lets its practitioners give other people powers too. Although there is a good reason other people can teach miracles- each one is cast by memorising and invoking a tale of the gods; they're just teaching you the story or selling you a copy of it. Additionally, the Tin Darkmoon Catalyst lets you power regular sorcery with faith instead of intelligence, while Velka's Talisman does the opposite for miracles. They don't alter spell requirements, though, so they're more suited to hybrid builds that favor one stat over the other. In Demon's Souls, this trope is quite literal because both magic and miracles draw power from the same source, heavily implied to be the Old One.

Religion is Magic / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Religious faith in itself has a certain amount of magical power, which is for example the source of crosses repelling vampires - it's not actually the crosses themselves, but the fact that they symbolize the user's faith, and the main character achieves the same thing using a pentacle amulet (that being a symbol of magic, which he has more faith in than any conventional religion). Further, as faith in what one is doing is an absolute must for human practitioners, some can even use any religion as part of their magic. The books also make MacGuffins out of a few religious artifacts. The three Knights of the Cross carry swords and in each sword, one of the nails that pierced Christ is in the hilt. The Shroud of Turin is the plot of a whole book. In Skin Game, set ten years after the Shroud of Turin escapade, the other items from the crucifixion and resurrection, an “ancient wooden placard”, a “circlet woven from thorny branches”, a “clay cup”, a “folded cloth” (the real Shroud), and a “knife with a wooden handle and a leaf-shaped blade”, are found and described as weapons. Thirty Pieces of Silver is the basis for a whole arc. Also, the Knights of the Cross can wield faith-magic that Harry can't touch, despite one of them continuously stating that he is agnostic.

Religion is Magic / int_43c93e54	comment	Sleepless: Downplayed — the kingdoms of Harbeny and Mribesh both practice forms of magic related to the chief deity of their Fantasy Pantheon, but it isn't made clear if one's faith grants magical powers or if naturally-empowered individuals are placed in high-ranking positions because of their abilities: Harbeny worships the concept of "Time," and various political and civil ceremonies (i.e. a coronation, a wedding, an induction into a knightly order...) are presided over by women in nun-like garb who invoke the power of "Time" to affect the participants (to guide the new king's rule or bind an oath between parties). Women in similar garb also appear to be the "Healers of Aeon," whose magic can draw energy from the end of a patient's lifespan to heal them in the present. Mribeshi citizens venerate "Stars," and some Mribeshi "Star Seers" are blessed with the power to read the future by looking up at the night sky. The two Star Seers introduced in the series, Amena and Nnende, don't appear to be installed in a religious office, but they do hold some position of civic importance (as evidenced by Amena's close ties with the Queen of Mribesh). The Star Reader's position in Harbeny's court functions more like a diplomat than a religious advisor, but that hasn't quelled rumors that Mribesh is trying to gain influence in Harbeny by converting the royal family to Star worship.

Religion is Magic / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Discworld priests do not gain any magical abilities from serving the gods (who are real and can and do interfere in human affairs), except for a measure of protection against spontaneous lightning bolts. This is probably because the gods of the Disc just don't care: they are portrayed as the equivalent of absentee landlords - Om lost almost all his believers and power without realizing it because he never paid any attention to the religion that worshiped him. While priests don't receive magical powers from their gods directly, faith itself has been known to invest supernatural powers in sacred objects. Dios's staff in Pyramids became imbued with tremendous magic due to thousands of years of accumulated belief in its absolute authority. Mightily-Blessed-Are-They-That-Exalteth-Om Oats does a wonderful job with his vampire-beheading axe. Pratchett's witches are entirely non-spiritual humanists with little interest in the gods. Because they demonstrably exist in the Discworld, so there's as much need to believe in their existence as there is for horses or elephants. The witches (or at least Granny Weatherwax) explicitly think that believing in the gods just encourages them. It's explicitly stated that wizards' attitudes toward the gods are of this variety: that they think the gods are real, but so are tables. Both have their function in the scheme of things but there's no reason to go around worshiping either. In Reaper Man, we see the collected priests and wizards square off; while their leaders (the Brothers Ridcully) manage to call them off, it's heavily implied this is considered an even fight.

Religion is Magic / int_46a4b34d	comment	In the Elenium 'verse of David Eddings, Magic Is Religion; all magical powers come, one way or another, from gods or even more powerful supernatural beings. The Knight Orders have to call on the Styric gods for spells because their own god thinks giving divine power to mere mortals is undignified. At least that's what his followers have assumed. It's mentioned at one point that no one has ever bothered to ask him about it. It's left unclear at the end of the series if anyone got around to checking this out. And why should they, when the Styric gods and goddesses they use to power their spells are more than happy to help out? And for almost all of the orders of the Church Knights, their chosen patron (or matron) god/goddess even matches their stereotypical temperaments. The Cyrinics, who are Knight Templars, have a god who's also a Knight Templar, for instance. Unless you are one of the gods, in which case you suddenly suffer from a case of Gods Need Prayer Badly. The sole exception to this rule is Sparhawk, whose role as Anakha puts him sideways to the rest of the world. He does ask Bhelliom to depower him, which Bhelliom says it did, and Aphrael implies it did, but well, who knows? The Knight Orders got a special divine deal that involved not being converted to their patron gods. Going by another incident, otherwise using the magic of a god would give that god a claim on your soul. According to what the characters say, Stragen inadvertently swears himself to Aphrael by combining being really observant around Pandion Knights with knowing Styric to cast a spell to contact Aphrael. As he says, there are worse gods that could have happened with. There is a special exception in Zalasta, a wizard of such skill and practice that he can perform magic of incredible power and finesse without serving any god at all.

Religion is Magic / int_46aac2a3	comment	Almost all schools of magic in Elden Ring have relations to a divinity: Erdtree Worship, Golden Order Fundamentalism and Primordial crucible Incantations are all types of magic that focus on the power granted by the Greater Will, though each embodies different aspects: Erdtree Worship focuses on the worship of the Erdtree as a divine being in and of itself, Golden Order Fundamentalism is more about the worship of Queen Marika the Eternal and the study of her Order (which is why it scales on both Faith and Intelligence) and Primordial Crucible is focused on channeling the life energy of the Primordial Crucible, the 'primordial form' of the Erdtree from which all life originates. Two Finger Incantations differ from the above in that, while their power doesn't derive from the Greater Will, it does derive from their angel-envoys, the Two Fingers, who have their own sub-religion. Unlike the above, the incantations of the Two Fingers are Boring, but Practical and utilitarian in use, and seem to have been tailor-made to help the Tarnished. An officially accepted sub-religion in all of this is the Dragon Cult, which worships the Ancient Dragons and channels their power over lightning through pure faith. Dragon Communion, however, is a different thing entirely in which devotees ritualistically devour the hearts of dragons to channel their strength directly and slowly turns you into a dragon yourself. Almost all of the other faith-based Incantations are instead focused on Outer Gods: Fire Monk and Fire Giant Incantations are derived from the power of the One-Eyed God of the Giants, Frenzied Flame Incantations channels the maddening flames of a malevolent Outer God, the Servants of Rot incantations are used by centipede-people who worship the sentient, mystical plague that is the Scarlet Rot, Blood Incantations involves using the burning blood of the Formless Mother and splashing it onto your enemies and is used by a satanic cult of murderers, and so on. Even the Intelligence-based Sorceries are not excluded from this: Glintstone Sorcery should at first glance be exempt from this, as it's a study-based school of magic reminiscent of classical Sorcery...except their source of power comes from the mystical Glintstone that comes from outer space, and outer space is where the Dark Moon, a divine entity associated broadly with sorceries, is located. Sorceress Sellen describes Glintstone as the 'amber of the cosmos' and that it houses the vitality of stars themselves, and makes a comparison with the sacred amber of the Erdtree to state the difference. Aware of it or not, Sorcerers are channeling the power of a divine being, though through study rather than faith. Carian Sorcery is more directly linked to the cult of the Dark Moon, as they were used by the Carian Royal Family, worshippers of the Moon, and their knights. Carian sorcery generally takes the form of Magic Knight spells such as swords and blades, compared to the cosmic focused space-focused Glintstone sorceries. Full Moon sorceries, meanwhile, are powerful spells and the epitome of the connection with the Dark Moon, known only to the prominent leaders of the Carian Royal Family who have 'encountered' the Moon directly in some form. Aberrant Sorceries are the most direct example of this, as they're the only sorceries to only require Faith instead of Intelligence, and takes the form of ritualistic self-flagellation to summon briars of bloody thorns around the caster. The users of these spells, generally exiled criminals, are said to have witnessed a being known only as the "blood star" who may be the source of this magic.

Religion is Magic / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft largely plays this straight (like most fantasy MMORPG settings), but subtly subverts it too; there are resistance stats for all schools of magic, but no way of resisting 'Holy' damage. While it actually does have a resistance stat, and there are many Status Effects that would affect it the same as any other magic types, there are scant few methods and equipment to specifically resist holy magic. Not all the religious magic is holy anyway. Shaman and Druids are clearly religious (although they worship different gods) and do nature, fire, and arcane damage. Even Priests can also use shadow damage (which is just the yin to holy damage's yang). Druids and Shamans don't draw their power from a divine source as Paladins and Priests do, more from nature/the elemental planes respectively; even though they do recognize the existence of a god or several, their religions don't worship or draw their abilities from those deities directly. Life is the disease. I am the cure. The World of Warcraft tabletop RPG deals with it this way: priests, shamans, druids, and witch doctors (the RPG treats them as a separate class from shamans) all get their power not from gods, or even necessarily from faith, but from generally having a spiritual connection with the forces connected to their powers.

Religion is Magic / int_74f7210c	comment	Magic in The Legend of Zelda is most commonly portrayed in this manner. The Triforce, the most powerful magic artifact in the mythos, came into being when the Golden Goddesses left for the heavens after creating Hyrule, and it operates on a set of rules that generally keep demons and other wicked individuals from claiming it for their own ends. Starting in Ocarina of Time, Link has also gotten various magical artifacts and powers bequeathed by the vaguely priest-like Sages. Zelda and the rest of the Royal Family of Hyrule also tend to have a Royalty Super Power of some sort, usually one that lets them seal away Ganon and other villains, that was originally passed down to them by the goddess Hylia; the religious nature of this is especially apparent in Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild, where Zelda must pray at holy springs to unlock said power. Breath of the Wild also portrays the Sheikah tribe as having various innate magical Ninja powers due to them being a Tribe of Priests.

Religion is Magic / int_761cd218	comment	Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost had a field day with this one. (Or possibly several field days.) First, it treats Wicca as an inherited trait with one character claiming she's one-sixteenth Wiccan. Second, it automatically treats Wiccans as good while witches (and warlocks) are automatically evil. Third, it implies there were Wiccans around in the 1600s (and probably living in a Puritan village, no less!). These could be intended as a Take That! at "fluffy bunnies" or "McWiccans." Many of these "wanna-blessed-be's" think that Wicca actually is an inherited trait and that the Salem witch trials as part of the "Burning Times" in which innocent women were burned at the stake for practicing the "old religion". In reality, both innocent men and women were accused of devil worship and not pagan religious practices. The confusion comes in because at many times in history they were treated as synonymous. In Salem, the execution method of choice was hanging, not burning — although Giles Corey was pressed to death in an effort to extract a confession.

Priests are in charge of all magical affairs, which include both begging the gods for favors and selling minor magical trinkets of protection such as ankh charms and mummified cats. Several side quests revolve around Bayek trying to find out why the magic isn't working or why a specific place seems cursed, which usually ends up being the result of some con artist committing blasphemy for the sake of a quick buck (such as a disease caused by mummies that are rotting due to cheap embalming materials). Whether the gods are real or not is left deliberately ambiguous, even when the Pieces of Eden come into play and start creating very real miracles.

On the Shinto side, being a shrine maiden naturally equals having great power. The protagonist of the series, Hakurei Reimu, is considered a terrible shrine maiden of a run-down godless shrine but, even if it weren't for the mostly harmless conflict resolution system of Gensokyo at which she contractually excels, her powers would make losing impossible. Kochiya Sanae is a shrine maiden capable of performing miracles. This has less to do with her position as a shrine maiden and more to do with her having a god for an ancestor. Touhou also treats Taoism as a magic system first and philosophy/religion second. These all come to a head in Hopeless Masquerade, with each character's magic being tied to one of the three faiths (Buddhism, Shintoism, Taoism), and a character fight differently based on what religion she's currently aligned to.

There are also a number of religion-based Crafts, such as the Christian Templars, the voudonista Bata'a, and the primarily Islamic Ahl-i-Batin. Subverted in that the religion isn't actually the source of the magic, but rather a construct that allows them to shape their magic. As a mage gains more knowledge of their art, they begin to transcend their defining paradigm. Hunter: The Vigil has a few examples of this as well. The Malleus Maleficarum, a Catholic monster hunting group, have the rites of Benediction, several of which take the names of saints and are vastly more powerful on their corresponding days. Leviathan: The Tempest has Rituals, elaborate rites which focus on a Leviathan's divine nature to accomplish anything from making it rain to driving an entire town insane to snuffing out the sun.

He says his spells are strengthened through spiritual purity, and thus abstains from alcohol or sex. There is also overlap between prayers and spells, with people getting magic in return for favors given to gods too. What might be called miracles which the gods work could just as easily be called spells of a different kind or greater power.

Mostly she was able to charm and enchant victims (including the Lizard, who she used as an Unwitting Pawn, and made his regeneration powers far more potent in the process) and after her first apparent death, she possessed Gloria Grant, using her to perform some unholy ritual to restore her own body to life. (Hasn't been able to do the same thing twice, apparently, as she was murdered by Kraven's son Alyosha.)

It is probably worth noting that while Faith can (and will) stop a daemon or psyker in its tracks, it won't stop that .45 round heading for your face... (unless you're a Sister, in which case there's a 1/6th chance that it will) However, priests don't have any real mythical ability to affect the mundane. Instead they inspire soldiers to rush at the enemy and beat the crap out of them and carry huge chainsaw swords that can cut tanks in half. In Dawn of War, attaching a priest to a squad gives the squad a permanent damage bonus, as long as the priest is with them. They also have an ability to whip the squad into a fanatical rage, making them immune to damage for a short while. "Rise up and strike them down!" Chaos is the opposite, however, where sucking up to the gods is a sure recipe for getting new and cooler ways to horribly kill more people. Or they might turn you into a mindless Eldritch Abomination. It depends on whether they want a laugh, if they want something dead, or if they regard you as 'disposable' at the time.

If you believe that Hermetic Magic is the way magic actually works, then that's how you get it to work; if you consider yourself to be working miracles in the name of one or more deities, then that's fine too and your spells will be equally effective (mechanically identical). Interestingly, this can cause problems if your way of thinking is more limited; Psions can't throw fireballs because it doesn't fit their Mind Over Matter model, but they can still set you on fire by accelerating your molecules.

Religion is Magic / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm: As with The Dresden Files, faith has a power all of its own, under certain specialised circumstances. How it relates to the power of the gods themselves is a bit vague, but the general implication is that the more a god is known of on the mortal plane, the more power they can exercise there (which is used by Word of God to explain the jump in Thor and Loki's powers from the films' levels to something closer to the comics). Invoking gods and goddesses (and other beings) is also a way to get power/power spells, though as the Darkhold (powered by Chthon) shows, this can be a risky business - especially when, as with Chthon, the deity has its own agenda. As with Merlin (2008), the Old Religion was a pagan faith that was mostly tied to the old gods of Britain, the Avalonian Pantheon, and dominated by the High Priestesses - though it's also noted that the High Priestesses have a certain connection to Gaia and Hecate (who, as with the Dresden Files, is implied to have some relationship to the Queens of Faerie) too. The Old Religion was a dying faith even when Merlin was young, however, thanks to Uther's Purge, the fact that with one thing and another, Merlin ended up killing the last three High Priestesses, and the simple fact that after the Asgard-Avalon Wars, the Avalonians had largely retreated to their home plane to lick their wounds and sulk. Consequently, a very rare form of magic, with only a few living still knowing much about it, and only three living practitioners, all of whom grew up when it was common - Merlin, Doctor Strange a.k.a. Taliesin, and Nimue.

In the finale, it is revealed that the Senoufo beliefs are inspired by direct contact with aliens, and thus accurately foretell that Nicole will visit the stars and spread the Senoufo lineage there.

Religion is Magic / int_d29275fa	comment	For an inversion, St. Augustine asserted that the Church could not follow the Biblical command of "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live", because magic and witches did not exist and most "magic", such as astrology, did not actually work, so at worst witches were con artists and at best simply dumb. A side effect of this is that, contrary to popular belief, the Catholic Church originally held belief in witchcraft simply was a superstition, and claiming that Satan could grant a person such powers was heresy. It was only in the wake of the Black Plague that sanctioned witch hunts began (early on not by the Church, but secular authorities) and belief became eventually acceptable (with the Malleus Maleficarum falsely claiming endorsement by the Pope, but it was actually condemned, though the Papal Bull it cited did recognize witches as real). However, even then witch trials were sporadic before the Reformation, with the Protestants holding witches must exist because the Bible references them. As a side effect of the religious wars, witch hunts then erupted in earnest from both the Catholic and Protestant sides. However, the Inquisition did not carry out most witch trials, aside from a few cases — the Inquisitions targeted heretics. They actually abandoned them much earlier than secular powers did, and became convinced that the prior position — witches didn't exist — had been correct. However, witchcraft sometimes overlapped with heresy, since witches were accused of Devil worship (such as performing orgies or murdering people as a sacrifice to Satan). In addition, "witchcraft" was vaguely defined and often covered crimes like poisoning. The word for it in Latin, "Maleficium", simply means "wrongdoing". Knowledge of poisons at the time was often considered a secret art akin to magic itself, hence the conflation.

In Dragon Quest VIII, your main healer used to be a member of the clergy and has maintained his healing powers. In general, all saving is done via a church, where confessing to a priest allows "The Goddess" to grant you respite from your journey, allowing you to save and quit. The priests also offer a number of other services- namely; Divination (which tells you how much experience you need to level up), Purification (which removes curses), Benediction (which removes poison), and Resurrection, which does exactly what it says it does. Priests have the power to bring people back to life. Wowzers.

Religion is Magic / int_f8705c18	comment	Hellsing has a few mild examples. By smelting silver crosses into weapons and by dipping weapons into holy water, they are thereby enabled to kill vampires. Also, Alexander Andersen can use copious amounts of Bible pages to teleport somehow. He also stabs himself with a Helena's Nail, one of the nails that was nailed into the hands of Jesus Christ himself during the crucifixion. The result is him turning into a mass of magic thorn vines that can set vampires and ghouls on fire.

Religion is Magic / int_f8783425	comment	The Spirit Ring: Magic and religion are deeply intertwined in Lois McMaster Bujold's novel (set in a Historical Fantasy version of Renaissance Italy). Magicians are licensed and regulated by the Catholic Church. The local bishop is not only in charge of this supervision of the local mages, but it's presented as perfectly natural for him (as a high-ranking Christian clergyman) to have both a strong interest in the theory of sorcery, and to himself be a mage of considerable abilities. Discussions of such concepts as the "spirit rings" of the book's title are done in explicitly theological terms.

Religion is Magic / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Mars, from Sailor Moon, was a miko with certain abilities to sense evil and expel minor demons among other things, to the point some people thought she was a witch. Interestingly these are completely unrelated to her superhero powers later. Some adaptations sometimes combine them, possibly to avoid actually mentioning spiritual powers. Subverted with Sailor Venus, who is not a miko but is once shown using Sailor Mars' own exorcism spell.
