The Deo Series - The Light in the Darkness is never too small to see
This series of secrets constitutes of Deo Lamh, Deo Saighead, Deo Searg, Deo Searg Gar, Ard Deo Searg as well as Mor Deo Searg Gar. Just like the Wizard is the Steward of the Natural Elements and the Discoverer of Darkness, the Priest has the Domain of the Light and Holy by default, in virtue of their Patron Goddess’ mother, Danaan, light herself, and the controller of light – as said in Etienne’s “De Obscurite et Lumiere”. As light is controlled by Danaan, and is thus effectively prevented from going out of control, the Priests are safe in that their use of such a possibly destructive element could not cause chaos and entropy, and are thus able to fully use it to deal damage, with no fear. The Priest class is the most fit to do this, as Danaan is the Goddess that showed the most compassion and empathy towards Aislings – core principles of the Path of the Priest. As light is not found within nature on its own, and innovation and improvisation are restricted by Danaan’s control over light ,the use of Deo would be difficult , and neither would appeal for Wizards – which despise restrictions over the kind of knowledge they’re able to use. However, some of these restrictions seem to have been overturned by their discovery of the secret of Unholy Explosion.
Unholy Explosion - For every light casts a shadow
A secret of light attack, bewilderingly bestowed upon Summoners instead of Bards, as Bards have traditionally been the possessors of everything holy and unholy. However, that is a rather superficial argument. On a second thought, one could argue that, being the Children of Luathas - the Seeker of Knowledge, with an insatiable thirst for more of it, they have finally found a way to penetrate the domains of Bard’s and have tamed Deo to their will. Another argument could have been that as Masters of the Dark Arts, they have acquired for themselves a secret that twists the energy of very light itself into Unholy power, making it even more potent, destructive, but also chaotic.

Tricksters, and finders of things best left hidden by nature, it was unavoidable that sooner or later the precarious followers of the Path of the Archer, and hence Rogue, have found a way into utilising one of the best-kept apocryphal secrets throughout time: How to deal damage with light. One should not argue of any clerical or divine ties to the Archer here, for there’s none; by deceit and trick, the Rogue has twisted the element of the light to his will; as would their patron God Fiosachd do, had He been given the chance, enabling them to fire arrows embedded with the element of the light. Some would argue this to be a blasphemy to the sacredness of the element of Deo; but, the pragmatist Rogue holds nothing to be sacred, seeing life as mundane vicissitude, and making the best out of its Ups and Downs.
And that is why this “Sacrilege” would unquestionably belong to the Rogue; not the Monk – who would see it beneath them; not the Priests, who already have access to their own Deo repertoire; not the Warriors, for it is after all demanding in willpower, and ranged. And not the Wizard, for the Wizards have already twisted light for themselves in virtue of their Unholy Explosion secret.
