The Gods of Oberon are a strange, fickle collection of entities who take some perverse pleasure (or duty) in meddling with it the affairs of mortals. Any entity that is of least "Ascended" status in the hierarchy of divine beings is able to influence the mortal realm by granting the power to cast a specific form of power called 'Divine Magic'.
Just to clarify this: Divine Magic is granted DIRECTLY from a God (Greater, Lesser or Demi), or one of their assigned proxies (not to be confused with the Divine Vassals known as Proxies, to a mortal with whom they have some connection, either through faith, oath or pact.
Divine Magic is capable of nearly all of the various tricks that other forms of magic are except and, in addition, it is also capable of directly influencing a mortal's passage to the afterlife by returning that mortal to life. This can occur even if the mortal's soul has been resident in their afterlife for years or even decades. It can also be used to repel or destroy totally those creatures that are classified as 'undead' such as vampires or even liches.
It is sometimes said that Divine Magic has "intent" - that is to say, that Divine Magic is bestowed for a purpose and its use always changes the influence of some deity upon the Prime Material Plane (positively or negatively, depending on its use).
Divine Magic is the primary form of magic for Clerics, Paladins and some Warlocks.
