Sophos is the god of of knowledge, magic and handicrafts. His alignment is slightly lawful (L-).
Praying
When pleased, Sophos will
- teleport you randomly, and
- This teleportation cannot be controlled with TeleControl, but is blocked by Teleport Lock.
- sometimes whisper a secret, granting you some experience to Intelligence, Willpower or Mana.
- The chance is based on Wisdom, so wise characters will gain the boon more often.
As all gods, he may also grow you a new limb made of an aligned material, give you an aligned item, or when very pleased give you a temporary pet angel.
"Suddenly, the fabric of space experiences an unnaturally powerful quantum displacement! You teleport away!"
When angry, Sophos will teleport a random part of your body away.
Altars
There are no fixed locations for Sophos' altars; they can be found randomly throughout dungeons.
Strategy
Sophos offers a reliable way of escaping trouble that, unlike the scrolls, can be activated instantly, and unlike the wands, can be used normally even when you have lost your limbs.
