Celestial Magic is the working of magic through the favor of one or more gods/goddesses, which allows a great deal of power to be put out by a single individual. This form of working tends to require that you are on good terms with one or more deities, as most of them are not willing to help random people. This form of working magic can be quite potent while it works, but it is basically diplomacy with something that can squish you if you bug it too much. This can lead to some interesting situations if you begin to rely on it too much, such as requiring help with something, only to find that said deity doesn't feel like helping you for a while because you take them for granted.
Typically, there are many ways that you can get a deity to help you out, though my current situation probably isn't all too terrible likely. In my case, I am helping several with something they would rather not have to worry about, and in return, they help me when I need it. However, I do not take advantage of the situation. In other cases, someone may simply be the kind of person a deity likes, or is one of their favorites. In others, perhaps they spread word of the deity in a way it likes, thus leading to it possibly helping them in the future. In yet another set of cases, it could be that the deity is alive to help a group of people, or is supposed to help anyone who knows a piece of information. Many that are created through chaos magic follow the last example.
