War-Time Magic
This is a spell given by deities to their clerics during times of open war with the forces of other deities. Because of how powerful it is compared to normal healing magic, it is reserved for times of combat (usually) because it tends to be more of a drain on the resources of a deity. Hence why this spell is not usually granted during divine stalemates or times of peace and why most adventurers might not be even aware of its existence.
