Luck-blast, wisdom drain, wisdom abuse, possibly guardians (angels/elementals/demons as appropriate). If you sacrifice a unicorn of your *own* alignment at someone else's altar, it's an automatic conversion of your character to the new alignment, unless you've been that alignment before and converted away (there are no back-conversions). Here's a little set of matrices for unicorn-sacrifice effects: (lawful player) Unicorn Altar | White Grey Black ----------+-------------------------------------------------- White | MAJOR OUCH GOOD GOOD Grey | convert self OUCH convert altar Black | convert self convert altar OUCH (neutral player) Unicorn Altar | White Grey Black ----------+-------------------------------------------------- White | OUCH convert self convert altar Grey | GOOD MAJOR OUCH GOOD Black | convert altar convert self OUCH (chaotic player) Unicorn Altar | White Grey Black ----------+-------------------------------------------------- White | OUCH convert altar convert self Grey | convert altar OUCH convert self Black | GOOD GOOD MAJOR OUCH -- Martin Read, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge CB2 1TA, England. \_V_/ | Her kisses left something to be desired - the rest of her. \ / | http://acheron.acad.cai.cam.ac.uk/~mpr22/ V | "Firedrake" on Snowplains telnet snowplains.enquiries.com 3456
