Divine Tests
1-4. Where for art my Lado? Unless the priestess actually has her love at her side (or closer), then she suffers a -1d4 penalty to all her rolls for the rest of the day.
5-9. Oh, sweet summer love! The priestess loses access to some of her spells (50% chance for each one), including possibly her turn ability. Roll 1d6 for every one lost to see what she needs to do in order to get it back. Each result will require 3d3 turns to complete, though if her Lado, her love, is in sight when doing so, it only needs to be done for 1d3 turns.

[5] Crops and folk grow fertile around her, ensuring a good seeding, harvest, and birth to all within 120' when such things are happening.
[6] She tends to set things on fire: passions, dry tinder, and the like have a base 25% chance of igniting whenever she first comes within 30' (save vs. spell negates), for she is a summer girl.
15-17. Something may befall her life with her Lado. For if she can't have him, then....? Roll 1d3:

In either case, it will require a daylong celebration to occur sometime within the next month with at least 2d4 guests and 2d100 gold pieces in materials provided for its success. Otherwise, the priestess must roll again for her divine test and with a +5 modifier.
