I get the game balance reason for not having a dangerous spell risk consequences that do not apply to the caster, but I'm struggling to come up with a narrative rationale. Divine powers are granting (or declining to grant) that prayer for their own reason(s). What reason would a god capable of granting the ability to remove mana have for worsening his priests connection to him over a failed casting of this spell (or really any spell generally, that sort of danger is better represented by Pact or Disciplines of Faith IMO)?
