Cleric Spells (Janus)
Janus’s
focus is on time, space, beginnings, and endings and so too do his clerics
mainly cast spells of that nature, some even requiring gateways or other
portals to work.

Detect Evil, Detect Magic, Protection from Evil, Remove Fear, Sanctuary (can also
be cast on others who stand near portals or who are making new beginnings), Hold
Portal* (PT),
Message* PT (does not need line of sight)
