Deity Specific Spells


Rules Questions


TLDR: Does anyone know where I can get a listing of spells that can only be used if you worship a specific deity, and the requirements for them?

I like reading: My players have been using a spell called Mighty Strength that I just found out has some odd requirements that aren't listed at all in the PRD. I'm hoping to track down all such spells so I can get a better understanding of whether or not these deity-specific spells are powerful enough to actually warrant these requirements, or if I can just let the players use the spell as is, or modify them in other ways for the players to use them, etc. etc. Anyone have any info on where I can find a complete listing?


On Archives of Nethys (aonprd), if you go to each deity, it lists the spells specific to that deity.

Awesome. That'll do.

Thanks a ton. :)


The deity specific spells in Inner Sea Gods are usable by anyone.

Inner Sea Gods wrote:
Many of the spells in this chapter originated with the faithful of a particular deity and are more common among the worshipers of that god. Such spells are denoted with the god's name in parentheses after the spell's name. Worshipers of the spell's associated deity always treat the spell as common, and need not research the spell in order to prepare or learn it. Despite this, all the spells in this chapter are available to members of other faiths, though some temples or religious organizations may proscribe the use of specific spells. Additionally, arcane spellcasters have unlocked the secrets of casting particular spells.

Mighty Strength is from Dwarves of Golarion, which was released in 2009. Inner Sea Gods was released in 2014. So, you could rule Mighty Strength either way I guess?

All that says to me is that the GM gets to make you do spell research before you can cast those spells


AoN also tags each spell on the class spell lists with a footnote if it it has a deity or race limitation.


Some of which tags are out of date, as WagnerSika mentions.


Well, that is a wrinkle. Ugh.
