# Theogistic Study/School of Theology

Theology: The Study of the nature of Gods and religious belief, the faith of the masses is a powerful and focusable thing. A small group of wizards started to study the rituals of religion and the gods in an attempt to understand it better. Faith is a Currency and the Theologist’s seek to find out its exchange rate.
