Hello! I'm considering placing an app for Merle here in the future, and I was wondering about the powers that he has in canon. As a cleric, being able to use magic is pretty directly tied in with his connection to his deity of choice. In his most likely canonpoint, though, he's actually been mysteriously having a lack of success doing so (because something is up over in deity town I guess).
So I guess boiled down, my question is: would it be possible for Merle to... sort of channel whatever abstract holy/magic biz is floating around in-game to cast spells as needed, or to come to some kind of "look I really need a deity to work with" arrangement with a god in-game eventually? Or for me to roll with that old RP convenience of suddenly being able to use magic like normal and it just not feeling the same?
If you think it's not possible, I totally get it and would work with what he's got or pick a new canonpoint! I figured I'd rather ask than assume one way or the other.
