The Red God seems to offer the most obvious power. But I wonder what the price of that power is? Do the Red Priests and Priestesses get their magical abilities for free for being especially loyal to the Red God, is it magic that they have to be taught, or do they have to make some kind of Faustian-like pact, trading their soul for power?
