Oliver notes the bitterness of the reply, and responds factually.
"It depends on what we're good at. All Godsworn have magic, channeled through the Eight Holy Disciplines which enable healing, control of beasts, warding against demons, Godflame, discerning truth from lie, and other abilities.
"Godsworn are usually born of 'Sworn fathers, their mothers the Sacred Women, those who take vows to God. It is quite rare that men outside the bloodlines possess the talent - although I am an example of that. It made Godsworn life more of an adjustment than it is for most.
"But when the Lord calls, a man answers. Else he will be branded a mage." Oliver's tone says that this is not a good thing.
