What does this mean: "When no water is present, praying at a co-aligned altar has no special effects compared to prayer anywhere else." I thought praying at a co-aligned altar was the only way to get a favor. Should this statement be changed to "After blessing the water, prayer at a co-aligned altar will have the normal effects."? I'm new to nethack, but it seems like that's what the code is doing.

I think that I lost my priest-purchased protection plan(tm) because I prayed too soon, but I can't find any mention of protection loss on the priest page or this page. Can we add it, or did I lose my Protection for some other reason? — Qwip 17:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Praying when you can't is probably the most common way to lose protection. Spazm 23:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Benefits of Prayer
I prayed while at an alter to create 1 potion of holy water, and I got the message "Your 2 elven daggers softly glow with a light blue aura. Unfortunately, I had not dropped them to test B/U/C before praying, so I don't know if praying simply identified them as blessed, or if they became blessed.
I didn't see either outcome described here or at the "altar" page, so I thought I'd see if anyone can clarify what went on.

- Have a look at entry #2 under Favors and gifts. One of the possible prayer gifts is that your god will bless or uncurse your current weapon as though dipped in holy water. -- Killian 15:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
The Killer Bee Shrinks Back!
I was near a couple of bees, and Weak with hunger. When I prayed, the bees kept trying to attack me, but instead "shrunk back" every time. However, I was standing on a statue of a gas spore at the time. I was using a level 6 human priestess with intrinsic telepathy at the time. Was the prayer what protected me, or something else? --MrGuy 19:33, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- Your prayer protected you. When you pray and are permitted to do so, you are "surrounded by a shimmering light", which protects you from all monster attacks (and everything else which is dangerous) during the time you spend praying. If you pray unsuccessfully, you won't be surrounded by the light, and will be helpless for the turns of your prayer. The article should be edited to reflect this. -- Marcmagus 19:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Water Prayer
What does this mean: "When no water is present, praying at a co-aligned altar has no special effects compared to prayer anywhere else." I thought praying at a co-aligned altar was the only way to get a favor. Should this statement be changed to "After blessing the water, prayer at a co-aligned altar will have the normal effects."? I'm new to nethack, but it seems like that's what the code is doing. Derekt75 18:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
