Nope only monks get quivering palm, anyway, Clerics don't use magic the channel the power of their chosen deity who then manifests themselves (whether by attacking your enemy with a hoard of insects or embuing you with unbelievable power...

As such, calling them spells is a misnomer and a mistake commonly made, thats why you see priest scroll (prayers) rather than magic scroll (magic). As such, Clerics wisdon is the most important part, as the wiser they are and the more powerful, the more their chosen deity will notice them. Thus, a wise cleric will typically have more priest abilities per level and the the more levels they go up the more powerful abilities are granted to them. Different Deities will grant different abilities (though there seems to be some common themes that run through all) which will be reflected in the different Cleric you pick.

Mages by comparison require intelligence and the smarter they are the more spells they get per level. As they level up, they can use more powerful spells. Again, the different schools will grant you different abilities (e.g. necromancy), but there is common themes to all schools....
