Paladins

Paladins make up a subclass of spellcaster which focuses on serving the light or shadow gods. A paladin's spells are entirely dependent on which gods they serve, however they share the following features:

* Limited spellcasting ability: All paladins can cast their own spells, although the strength and number of spells they can cast are much more limited when compared to Mages, who have all four elements of spells to cast.
* Able to wear armor: Paladins are the only spellcasters which can wear armor up to iron.
* Able to use weapons: Paladins can use weapons similar to Warriors however they can only wield up to iron. They can also wield bows, crossbows, and revolving steelbows, but cannot use the firework shot.
* Light or Dark Alignment: All paladins are aligned with the shadow or light gods, paladins cannot have a neutral alignment.

## Paladins (Light Aligned)

Paladins are those who follow the light and spread their message in Mysto. They draw their power from the light gods, and worship them at their altar in Starry. Their powers mostly focus on healing their allies and protecting themselves and others from followers of the dark gods.

### Light Alignment

Paladins are light aligned, meaning they have a Purity level. You can gain purity by meditating at the light altar, which is found near spawn. Paladins can gain one purity every 30 seconds while meditating.

While in combat, paladins pull from their purity to empower their spells. Performing actions such as attacking a non evil doer (someone who has not attacked someone else int he last 30 seconds) or killing a non-corrupted individual will result in loss of some purity levels. They can regain them by visiting the light altar. Killing a corrupted person does not reduce purity level.
