There are a number of ways in which the character can interact with Gods. You cannot contact any god unless you know the right rituals. You can learn a god's rituals by visiting the god's altar, or reading the god's [[Book]]. Praying to [[Mellis]] will sometimes result in Mellis sharing knowledge of a god that you have not yet encountered. Reading the book of a certain God will also raise your relation with that god, and to a lesser extent your relation with other gods of a similar alignment. Using a [[Wand]] of polymorph will transform a god's alter into a random alter; this does not affect your relationship.
'''Praying''' to a god will have a reward if you are in good relation with that god, and will slightly increase your [[Wis|wisdom]]. Although each god has a different effect, most will also summon new limbs if you are missing a limb, or possibly summon an [[Angel]] to help you. Praying will have a negative effect if you are not in good standing with that god, or if you pray too often. You may only pray to gods that you know the rituals for.
