Howdy,

I'm playing a Blessed in a Deadlands game and a few things constantly 
frustrate me. For one Blessed have no protection listed in the book, verse 
anything that comes out of a Shaman, even if he's using Ghost Magic, and 
none at all verse some of the newer Arcane abilities. Like the Voodooist, 
well no offense but voodoo in my understanding regardless of how good its 
user is usually at the very least a semi dark art. Now it is made better to 
some extent because my Martial will let me create my own miracles or gifts 
that can counter them but sometimes I think this is just me spending points 
I shouldn't have to. For example the Miracle Dispel can dispel any none 
permanent dark magic or huckster spell but with this description it has no 
effect upon something like shaman favors or as I used in the example Voodoo 
magic. To be honest I think that Dispel should work on all magic abilities 
regardless of where they come from, the possible exception being if it was 
cast by a blessed of the same religion, as should any other miracles or 
gifts. The same goes for Censure, although on censure I can see an argument, 
and a few other miracles or gifts should work as well. I however wanted an 
opinion on this, official would be nice but I would also like to hear from 
others.
