[DF] Cleric of Icarus

When I saw the OP's question, I immediately thought of this quote:

"But I've never seen the Icarus story as a lesson about the limitations of humans. I see it as a lesson about the limitations of wax as an adhesive."
– Randall Munroe, "What if?" #30

So... perhaps a cleric of a god of alchemists, tinkerers, sages, and anyone else who we would call a materials chemist?

I would have gone with "artificiers" except Daedalus made the wings. Icarus just used them.

For this reason I would go with a god of young adventures, especially reckless ones. Athletes maybe as well and Daredevil and/or Impulsiveness as common traits.
