UPDATE: GM Viduus announced that the Divine Word spell (1640) was updated. It no longer removes spells when it wears off. When used on a dead player, it will restore the spells they had prior to dying, much like Symbol of Recall. Additionally, if you use Symbol of recall before being raised via Divine Word, your favor will be restored.

Divine Word (1640) Update
on 19 May 2023 1:47 AM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
on #development-announcements channel

Divine Word (1640) has been updated to no longer remove spells when it’s active window ends.

When Divine Word is used on a dead player it will restore spells to the person that they had prior to dying, much like Symbol of Recall. Previously, after an active window of 15 minutes the restored spells would be removed as well as any new spells cast in the 15 minute window, this is no longer the case. Restored and new spells will now persist for their entire duration even after the window expires. Additionally, any player that has used symbol of recall before being raised via 1640 will have their favor restored
