D domain spell; Domains Evil, TrickeryTacticsBefore Combat The mystic casts bull’s strength on one ally and magic weapon on one ally’s weapon.

These gods speak to the orcs’ love of fire, destruction, slavery, and the like, but the particular offerings and prayers one tribe uses for the Blood God might be the same ones a different tribe gives to the Destroyer. Orcs take little notice of these distinctions. There’s no point in religious squabbling when there are villages to raid and people to slaughter.
There’s seldom more than one full mystic in a tribe, though the mystic may teach the ways of divine magic to multiple apprentices. These apprentices are practically slaves to the mystic, and face beatings and starvation during their tutelage. It’s not uncommon for a mystic to murder overly ambitious apprentices who seek to usurp his position in the tribe.Creatures in "Orc" Category
