Why is holy magic also ''eh'' when compared to arcane in video games

That's just slapping religion names onto classes that already exist in most videogames.

I think you can make one in the recent pathfinder game by picking the right domain, problem is that playing blaster with vancian isn't that great

>1 After that again he went through the village, and a child ran and dashed against his shoulder. And Jesus was provoked and said unto him: Thou shalt not finish thy course (lit. go all thy way). And immediately he fell down and died. But certain when they saw what was done said: Whence was this young child born, for that every word of his is an accomplished work? And the parents of him that was dead came unto Joseph, and blamed him, saying: Thou that hast such a child canst not dwell with us in the village: or do thou teach him to bless and not to curse: for he slayeth our children

I feel that. At least it gets better as you level up though to the point where it doesn't matter that it's vancian
Especially if you're able to do bullshit stuff like in baldur's gate 2 with project image and wishing your spells back

if it's holy it ain't magic, it's miracles

magical energy

divine energy
different source, different rules

Well, clerics traditionally have heavy armor, shields, and real weapons. They don't need the same level of expertise, supplies, or freedom of movement. Straight magic casters usually have a stick or a knife and the clothes on their back.

Depends on the setting so i'm just going to leave it at that since you're right and i'm right
