Re: Anyone use effect-shaping?
Another reason I planned my religious system that way might be relevant to your campaign.
I liked the possible intrigue between established formal religious leaders (Rank) and "lower" priests or even non-priests who seemed Divinely Blessed and able to do Rituals far above their Rank.
Power Investiture was typically awarded as you gained Rank in a ceremony.
However PI came from the god so you could have heretical Saint types who bucked the Church but were apparently favored by their god.
