than Zin being punished much more strongly. The effectiveness of the recitation

and sickness, and increases and sustains your strength, intelligence and

%%%%
# The Shining One

by Invocations skill.
%%%%

allies are never affected. The power of the blast is increased by Invocations
skill.

skill.
%%%%
Enslave Soul ability

Marks a monster's soul as ripe for the taking. Intelligent living, holy and
demonic monsters can be targeted (excepting most lords of Pandemonium), as
long as they are relatively uninjured. The duration of the mark is dependent on
Invocations skill. If the monster dies while still marked, its soul will become
yours.

The enslaved soul will retain the monster's faculties, equipment and abilities,
as well as some of its innate healing. However, only one soul can be enslaved

%%%%
# Trog
Burn Spellbooks ability

Trog's hatred, and it burns hotter than mere parchment would — which can be
useful if you throw the book under someone's feet first. Trog greatly
appreciates the burning of spellbooks.
%%%%
Berserk ability

Sends the user into a berserk rage. Going berserk temporarily increases health,
speed, and damage dealt in melee. It will time out quickly outside of combat,
but may be extended by multiple kills. While berserk, almost all actions other
than movement and melee combat are prevented. Such a rage is followed by deep
exhaustion, during which the user is slowed and cannot berserk again, and
occasionally may even pass out.
%%%%
Trog's Hand ability

Invokes a powerful regeneration ability which stacks with all other sources and
is effective even on those who would not otherwise be able to regenerate. While
active, the user will also be granted significant protection from hostile
enchantments.
%%%%
Brothers in Arms ability

Summons huge angry allies to wreak havoc.
%%%%
# Elyvilon
Divine Protection ability

Beseeches Elyvilon to save your life. If you are mortally wounded, the Healer
may undo the killing blow. Especially pious individuals may be certain of this
help, but in that case, any intervention costs piety (as opposed to merely
asking for intervention, which is always free). Killing others while asking
for divine protection will cause penance.
%%%%
Lesser Healing ability

Heals a small amount of health, depending on Invocations skill.
%%%%
Purification ability

Purges your body of negative effects such as poison, confusion, slowness,
petrification, rotting, and sickness, and fully restores any lost strength,
dexterity or intelligence.
%%%%
Heal Other ability

Heals a creature other than yourself by a moderate amount, depending on
Invocations skill. Using this ability on hostile monsters will try to turn them
neutral. This works best on animals, and is less effective on humanoids and
other intelligent creatures. Undead and demons are harder still to pacify.
Mindless creatures cannot be pacified, and no monster can be pacified while it
is asleep.

Whether the pacification succeeds or not, the invested food, piety and magic
points are lost. If it does succeed, the monster is healed and you gain half
the monster's experience value. Otherwise, the monster is unaffected and you
gain nothing.
%%%%
Greater Healing ability

Heals a moderate amount of health, depending on Invocations skill. Greater
Healing will heal approximately three times as much as Lesser Healing, but at a
slightly higher total piety cost.
%%%%
Divine Vigour ability

Greatly increases your maximum health and magic points, depending on
Invocations skill. Your current health and magic points will also be increased
proportionally.
%%%%
# Lugonu
Depart the Abyss ability

Transports you out of the Abyss, returning you to the location from which you
entered it.
%%%%
Bend Space ability

Bends the fabric of space, instantly translocating the user a short distance,
and possibly also translocating and damaging other adjacent creatures. In
warping the fabric of space, this ability ignores effects that would usually
prevent translocations. Invocations skill increases the chance of affecting
nearby creatures and the damage dealt to those affected.
%%%%
Banish ability

Attempts to banish a creature into the Abyss. If the attempt succeeds, you gain
some piety and half the creature's experience value. Invocations skill makes it
harder to resist.
%%%%
Corrupt ability

Corrupts the current level by unleashing Abyssal energies on it. This will
cause the area nearby to change appearance, and will gate in demons from the
Abyss bent on causing destruction. This will not work on levels already
corrupted or in the Abyss itself. The size of the effect is increased by
Invocations skill.
%%%%
Enter the Abyss ability

Transports you to Lugonu's realm instantly. The effort of even using the
ability will leave your health and magic depleted.
%%%%
Brand Weapon With Distortion ability

Permanently corrupts a weapon of your choice with a localized field of
distortion. This blessing may only be used once, and it cannot be used on
artefact weapons.
%%%%

Triple Draw ability

to keep, discarding the other two.

them into any order. Subsequently, you can draw these cards in the order you chose.

%%%%
# Fedhas
Fungal Bloom ability

Call up Fedhas to accelerate the natural process of decay, transforming all
corpses nearby into fast-growing, short-lived toadstools. Zombies and ghouls,
are considered walking corpses, and are affected accordingly;
zombies rot into skeletons, and ghouls rot away entirely,
granting no experience.
%%%%
Sunlight ability

Calls sunlight down over a small area of the dungeon. Monsters illuminated by
the light will be easier to hit. Water affected by the sunlight will evaporate.
In particular, deep water will become shallow water, and shallow water will dry
up completely, revealing the dungeon floor.
%%%%
Growth ability

Uses fruit to grow a ring of plants around yourself. If a complete ring cannot
be formed (because you do not have enough fruit), plants will grow on squares
adjacent to you that are close to monsters. The plants you create gain bonus
health proportional to your Invocations skill.
%%%%
Rain ability

Causes rain to fall around you, turning the dungeon floor into shallow water
and shallow water into deep water. This may also allow plants and mushrooms to
grow in areas that are not directly drenched. Invocations skill increases the
number of rain-clouds created.
%%%%
Reproduction ability

Creates ballistomycete spores from corpses in your line of sight. The spores will
explode, causing damage to you or your enemies.
%%%%
Evolution ability

Turns plants and fungi into stronger species. Upgrading fungi requires piety,

accuracy proportional to the user's Invocations skill, and oklob plants are
more likely to spit acid at higher Invocations.
%%%%
# Cheibriados

harder to resist.

while you're gone.

are permanently invisible and are immune to poison, draining, torment, and
hostile enchantments. All incoming damage will be halved, and you will bleed
smoke on any incoming attack. However, your ability to deal damage in melee and
with ranged attacks will be halved, your spellcasting power will be greatly
hampered, and your skills will be further drained when taking damage.
Invocations skill increases the duration of the transformation.
%%%%

Potion Petition ability

Petitions Gozag to sell you the effects of a set of potions. Gozag will offer
three lists at a time, with varying prices.
%%%%

funding a shop increases with the number of shops funded.
%%%%
Bribe Branch ability

Gives 3000 gold to Gozag to spread throughout the inhabitants of the current
branch, only possible if the branch has intelligent inhabitants. Those monsters
may then become uninterested in fighting you (with tougher inhabitants having
an increasing chance of being bribed), and more rarely will join your ranks,
though they will not leave their home branch. Enemies accepting a bribe will
lower the remaining bribe fund; upon its exhaustion, bribed enemies will become
indifferent if they have not become your allies.
%%%%
# Pakellas
Device Surge ability

Readies a device surge, which triggers on your next usage of a magical device
to strengthen its power at the cost of some magic. The amount of magical power
that can be used for a surge varies, but correlates with how devoted a follower

effectiveness of this depends on your current pool of magic and your

monsters fill you with horror, which reduces the power of your spells and your
ability to hit and damage monsters in combat.

magic and preventing you from having any ranks in those skills.

said god).

Invocations skill.
