    It is looking good.
    I didn't write it clear, each event add 3 years to lifespawn, so after five events character reached 22 years. I'm also open for suggestion and ideas for custom events.
    For spells I wanted to make it conected with religion and resources. If your character knew more complicated praying, it could cast more powerfull spells, like scaring enemy, support healing of wounded, finding evidence of suspect or cursing enemy. Depending on skill in religion and paying to deity prize, it could give diffrent effects.
