However, failing a cast roll meant the Priest could cast NO further healing spells until they got right with their God(s), i.e. performed a time-consuming ritual. Priests were also given "talent spells": Turn Undead (works like you'd expect) & Bless (party buff) so there was a reason to take the talent even if you didn't want to build a full-on cleric.
2. Broke out HPs from ST and created a "mana" pool to power spells. (But the "stat bloat" issue is off-topic so I'll leave it at that.)
Theologian got a blanket +1 to cast any of the new Priest spells. We also added some Priest-only combat and support spells, but again, that's another discussion.
Cheers.

This seems like a pretty interesting approach. I'd love to hear more details of how you all did it.
