Title: a book entitled "Understanding how harm can heal"

Clerics are most noted for their strong connection to their chosen deity
and how, by harnessing this power, they can heal the wounded, remove curses
and poison, and fortify and invigorate the physical body. But the power of
the cleric is by no means a unilateral construct. The same connection and
control and be deconstructed and reassembled to inflict pain, curse and
harm the physical and mental condition.  Most clerics may never truly
unleash their potential to harm, choosing only to use their powers to aid
those in need but the potential is there within all those who follow the
path of the cleric to cause great pain and suffering.

A moral question is obviously raised by understanding the potential to use
deity magic to both harm and heal but this is one that can only be resolved
within the head and heart of the cleric.
