The first game i played from this series was Divinity Original Sin 1 and after that Divinity Original Sin 2 so i am not exactly familiar with the story/lore from the older games of this franchise.

I am really confused at the complete lack of Holy/Divine/Light type of magic that is usually present in other fantasy RPGs.

For example if i want to make a Paladin or a Priest there is no holy/divine magic for me to select.
Instead i have to take Water Magic for healing and whatnot else that thematically has nothing to do with the standard Holy/Divine Paladin or Priest.

Come to think of it if i want to play the opposite of Paladin and Priest (something like Blackguard or Dark Priest) there is also no real "shadow/unholy" to act as the opposite of Holy/Divine/Light magic (witchcraft in DOS 1 isn't exactly what i mean).

So can anyone please explain the reasons why are Holy/Divine/Light types of magic so absent in a series that revolves around Divinity?
Thank you for reading.

As far as I'm aware, source magic itself is divine... and it encompasses both holy and unholy sides of it (it can do great things, but it also draws in eldritch parasites).
