However, one correction about Source: It seems that in D:OS1 it had many of the same powers as in D:OS2; it is described as "ripping the life" from an individual, and while I wont say for certain the Blood Stones seem to be created at least partially with Source. If only because those that manage them turn into spooky scary demons or monsters, which they explain is one of the dangers of using source. Also the spooky forest with all the corpses is a product of Source magic as far as I know, and it certainly is not a place related to healing magic unless you count horrible tree people as healed.
But ultimately I think Source in 1 was just "bad magic that is really strong you guys" and wasn't very well-defined. It isn't in 2 either but, hey, you know what I mean.
Right, should have elaborated there: In DOS1 Source is already corrupted and is being used by the baddies for necromancy and other bad stuff, but it USED to be used mostly or maybe even exclusively for healing miracles if I remember DOS1 correctly. Then in Divine Divinity it was just healing again and then in DOS2 back to just being more powerful/sinister form of magic and also the basis of life for all 7 races as it turns out.
