The increase in favour is proportionate to the alignment similarity: If you pray to [[Atavus]] (L+), [[Legifer]] (also L+) will be pleased nearly as much as Atavus, while [[Valpurus]] (L++) and gods of lawful (L) alignment will be also pleased. [[Sophos]] (L-) would not care (no change in relationship) and gods of greater alignment differences will be increasingly displeased, so it is best to pick a handful of similarly aligned gods to pray to. Note that praying to Valpurus (L++) will make Sophos (L-) slightly angry, as the alignment difference is too large.
Praying to any god will have a reward if you have good relationship with that god, and will slightly increase your [[wisdom]]. Although each god has a different prayer effect, most will summon new limbs if you are missing one and may summon a [[Pets|pet]] [[Angel]] or their personal archangel for you. Praying will have a negative effect if you are not in good standing with the god or if you pray too often - if you receive a positive reaction, it should be safe to pray again in three to four two hours, 30 minutes. In the event of a negative reaction, the cooldown time is generally at least twice as long.<br>
All gods also have a small chance to summon any item aligned with them for you.
