This spell creates a powerful connection between the clerics Deity and the rain clouds in the area. The cleric's physical form is used by the Deity to achieve this effect. After the casting of this spell, the cleric’s body is taken over by the deity, visible by among others glowing eyes and other effects common to the deity. For the rest of the duration of the spell, which is 2 rounds for every 3 levels of the caster, the Deity will stay in this host body, chanting prayers in his/her own name.
This connection causes any in the area of effect with the same basic alignment of the cleric (Good, Neutral, or Evil) to gain the benefits of a Bless spell, even if already engaged in combat for 2 rounds per caster level. The second effect from this spell is that it causes the rain turn into holy water (or unholy water in the case of an evil Deity). This holy rain damages creatures effected by holy water, such as undead or demons, the damage caused depends upon the amount of rain falls upon it. The damage caused is as followed.
Drizzle or fog: 1
Light rain: 1d4
Normal rain: 2d4
Heavy rain: 3d4
Rain storm: 4d4
Damage is also adjusted by the size of creatures affected, although damage is never less then one. This adjustment is determined as followed:
Minute, Tiny and Small creatures subtract 3 points of damage from every die.
Medium creatures have no adjustment.
Creatures of size Large and bigger take 1d4 points of extra damage per size category above Medium. For example a Giant Skeleton would take 2d4+1d4 points of damage in normal rain, while a Gargantuan Goristro would take 2d4+3d4 points of damage in the same rain.
The weather in the area can be summoned by the priest or another priest of the same or Neutral alignment. Weather summoned by a cleric of the opposite alignment cannot be used in the spell.
Should the cleric sustain any damage during this time he must roll a saving throw versus Death, with a +1 penalty for every point of damage sustained. Because of the strong connection between him and his Deity, this gains a +6 bonus. Should the cleric fail this savings throw, the Deity will leave the host body, after emanating a dazzling beam of bright white light from the casters eyes at the offender who must save as if affected by a finger of death (as the wizard spell). Success means the spell is not interrupted.
After the Deity leaves the host's body, the cleric collapses from the intense experience. The cleric must have total rest for 1 hour for each round the Deity inhibited his body. A Heal spell reduces this one time to 1/2 hours per round, but there is no way this amount can be lowered further, not even by a Wish spell.
The material component for this spell is the rain in the area of effect, and a vial of holy water to be sprinkled over the caster’s holy symbol.

Saving throw: Negates
The thought like clouds spell is a very useful spell to neutralize spell casters. A spell caster hit by the spell and failing his saving throw can’t concentrate for the duration of the spell, making spell casting impossible. A spell caster already concentrating can also be targeted. All other action like running or attacking can still be performed.
Sphere: Charm

Component: V, S
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting time: 3
Area of effect: 1 creature
Saving throw: Negates
By means of this spell the priest is able to cause the loss of certain spells by another spell caster. A spell caster hit by the spell and failing his saving throw will lose one spell per level of the priest. If a priest cast a second successful spell on the same spell caster the caster will lose additional spells but only 1 per 2 level of the caster. The next time the caster only loses 1 per 4 levels of the caster etc. There is also a 5% chance the spell will affect the priest itself resulting in losing spells himself.
