First, I would just like to address the fact that you claim that bards should not be magic users. For one you obviously do not know the origin of bards. Bards were druids in ancient Ireland that were feared for there ability to charm and cast magic at simple sound of their voices set on high in glorious song. So you see magic has been with the bards since the beginning and I suggest you do not make such an argument again unless you know the facts to back it up.
Nextly, the fact that you say priests shouldn't be able to use magic... Well what other use would a priest be? If they had no magical abilities then there disadvantages would obviously outweigh any non-magical advantages they might have. The magic that a priest recieves come from the deity he/she serves. As so do druids though instead of a deity their power comes from the earth itself. You could call them miracles if you wish. And the reason why not everyone in Faerun goes to the temple and gets raised is because many can't afford it obviously. And in some case a ressurection is not possible. For example any time a body is completely destroyed.
As for you complaining about it being 'believable', this is a fantasy game. What do you expect? You fool. Another thing if you disagree with magic and if you feel it is evil and wish to participate in no game in which magic is repesented, then I suggest you don't buy anymore fantasy games because I don't know of any that don't have some portrayal of magic. And finally, It is no doubt that while playing this game your warrior (or whatever you used) at some point used magic to your benefit, whether it be in a potion, weapon or armor. And if you did not use any of these items then I don't see how you could have gotten succesfully through the entire game.
