High Priest

็ฅญๅธ้•ท ยท High Priest โ€” The highest religious authority who bridges gods and humanity

The highest religious position who presides over temple rites and receives divine revelations to convey to the faithful. Direct combat is rarer than for healers or clerics, but through the direct divine grace of a deity, the scale and power of their holy magic is incomparably greater. The pinnacle of religious authority rivaling royal power.

Origin

Derived from the temple priesthood systems of ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Greece. The historical structure where kings and priests shared power, or where priests controlled kings, is directly projected into fantasy.

Features

  • Divine Oracle (็ฅž่จ—): directly receiving and conveying the will of a deity
  • Performing large-scale holy rites โ€” capable of purifying and consecrating an entire city
  • Highest-level healing, resurrection, and exorcism magic
  • Political influence through religious authority

Usage

National crisis response role. When a demon lord or ancient god descends, the key figure who channels divine grace into the human world.

Weakness

Almost no combat mobility. Rites require time and materials to perform.
