{{Spoiler}}'''Sophos can be great in certain circumstances''' is the [[god]] of of knowledge, magic and handicrafts. His [[alignment]] is slightly lawful (L-).
If he (she?) is happy with you, you'll get teleported to a different part of the level. It's not like a normal teleport, however, and teleport control will not help.== Praying ==
When pleased, Sophos will
* teleport you randomly, and
** This [[teleport]]ation 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 ==
[[Image:Sophos.png]]
There are no fixed locations for Sophos' altars; they can be found randomly throughout [[dungeon]]s.
== 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.
