'''Divine magic''' is NOT actually an official term used by [[Blizzard]] in manuals or other lore to describe [[magic]], but only used by DiabloWiki as a way to group up similar Schools of magic. The term is used to describe Schools of Magic given through divine means, like the [[high Heavens]] or the [[Burning Hells]]. To fully grasp the concept of Divine magics, it's good to have read about the general nature of '''[[magic]]''' first.

==Divine Schools of Magics==
These are the Schools of [[Magic]] that DiabloWiki classifies as "Divine":

* '''[[Demonic magic]]''' - Magic channelled from the [[Burning Hells]].
* '''[[Godly magic]]''' - Magic channelled from the [[deity]] of the subject. ''Speculative name; could possibly be grouped with Holy.''
* '''[[Holy magic]]''' - Magic channelled from the [[High Heavens]].
* '''[[Nature magic]]''' - Using nature itself to channel magic energy.
* '''[[Spirit magic]]''' - Additional magic in the world attached to spirits of different kinds. Not much is known about this source of power. ''Assumed, speculative name.''
** '''[[Death]]''' - Antagonist to Life, but part of the [[Great Cycle of Being]]. ''Speculative realm of power.''
** '''[[Life]]''' - Antagonist to Death, but part of the [[Great Cycle of Being]]. ''Speculative realm of power.''

==Diablo Game Divine Magic==
Several [[Diablo game]] classes use [[magic]] channelled through another entity or source of power. The effects of the magic is very different between types of Divine magic, and are very much subject to the nature of the source.

* '''[[Witch Doctor]]''' - ([[Diablo III]]) This class uses either some sort of [[Spirit magic]]/[[Godly magic]], and/or [[Nature magic]] in combination with volatile powders that may be chemical, or invoking their gods' powers, or both. He also seem to either get [[Elemental magic]] through the "regular" way, or through his gods. Read more about it on the [[Witch Doctor skills]] page.
* '''[[Druid]]''' - ([[Diablo II]]) The expansion class that changes form and summon spirits of nature for his bidding uses [[Nature magic]] exclusively. Read more about him in the [[Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Manual|LoD manual]] or the proper {{iw|Druid Diablo 2 Wiki Druid entry}}.

* '''[[Amazon]]''' - ([[Diablo II]]) A combination of

* '''[[Barbarian''' - ([[Diablo II]])

* '''[[Paladin''' - ([[Diablo II]])

* '''[[Necromancer''' - ([[Diablo II]])
