Note: you don't have to be a priest or have *any* mana to use this "war cry",
but it gives you priest experience.  Given enough priest experience, you'll
get raised a priest level, and *get more mana* (i.e. you had none, but now you
have some).  Once you have some mana, you can get more faster with spells....

Sneaky....
