I agree. I only mix in Hymn with Clarity anymore when I'm feeling like
topping everyone off that last little sliver that the Clerics/Druids/Shaman
can really do. But to be perfectly honest, after 40+ levels of mashing the
buttons, it's kinda nice to just sit back after a battle and be the mana
pump.

Another thing - I think it was Sylly a few days back who mentioned carrying
Jasper and Peridot around with her for the Clerics in her groups. I started
doing this, and when I hand them over to the Cleric and everyone gets
Symboled you'd think *I* was the Cleric. Man. If you wanna be popular with
groups carry Symbol reagents appropriate to your level around with you.
Very good tip Sylly.

Clerical Symbol Reagents at levels:
-----------------------------------
Level 14: Cat's Eye Agate
Level 24: Bloodstone
Level 34: Jasper, ~9.5gp each
Level 44: Peridot, ~9.5pp each

Buying a stack of 20 Peridots is nontrivial for all but the highest level
characters. But like I was last night, if you're camping the Ballroom in
Mistmoore 9.5pp seems pretty inexpensive for the buff it gives.
