Items: sacrifice, altars command

Format: sacrifice all

Format: sacrifice item

Sacrifices an item (or all items) on the ground to the gods -- the gods grant a bit of silver. Some things (like player corpses) cannot be sacrificed. Anti-paladins can gain magical energy from sacrifices. An atheist has nobody to offer anything to: the item is simply thrown away, and nobody pays a coin for it.

Altars can be constructed for the gods of ancient cults -- the gods and goddesses of the official pantheon do not accept sacrifices.

Format: altar

Build an altar to fill it with pious content. On the altar, you can place items, money, corpses, jewels, weapons, and so on, hoping to please the deity and receive a reward in return.

• Do not sacrifice worthless junk -- this can anger the deity.
• The Gods of Light will not appreciate the sacrifice of a good creature's corpse, and vice versa.
• You can sacrifice money, but you won't be able to pay off completely with money: a hundred or two gold and the god will lose interest.
• Similarly, with jewels and other items -- more is not always better.
• Among all magical items (potions, staffs), gods prefer those whose effects are close to their sign.
• A typical sacrifice can consist of a hundred coins, a couple of corpses, drinks, magical items, weapons, or books, food.

Format: sacrifice altar experience|mana|learnability

Having gathered a worthy offering, you can perform a sacrifice with this command. In return, you can ask for a certain advantage: more experience from kills, spend less mana, learn faster (this request is unavailable to humans -- they learn quickly anyway). These bonuses, in case of a successful sacrifice, last for several days and can be seen with the commands calendar, time, and score.
