=== Prayer ===

All Children of Light can learn prayers in which they ask for help either directly from the gods or from one of his patron saints. Prayer is always associated with some virtue and helps to fight against sin. The prayer of chastity helps to combat the lusts of the flesh, the prayer of grace helps to show pity and ease the suffering of others, the prayer of modesty helps to combat personal gain and temptations and so on.


=== Sermon ===

''But if the words come from the gods''<br>
''you have no power of prevention."''<br>

The walker knows how to perform the most sacred ordinance of a sect, a sermon. An ordinary sermon can be held very easily. However, if he wants someone to feel guilty or enchanted about following the sermon, a little investment in spell points is needed. He can then either speak for himself or let his god speak using his mouth. If the walker decides to speak for himself, he can choose which commandment or which prohibition from the teachings of the sect he makes central to the sermon. The downside is that the walker himself cannot be inspired by his own sermon. If, on the other hand, the walker lets his god speak using his mouth, the command or prohibition that comes forth in the sermon may be more random. In this case, the walker himself can also be inspired by his sermon. Usually sermons are held on Church of Element prayer poles. If desired, the sermon can be given elsewhere, but with lesser impact.

According to the teachings of the Church of Elements, the Children of Light are expected to follow the virtues prescribed by the church and also to attend regular cleansing rituals at the prayer poles, which include as an essential part the sermon given by the priest. If the listener has lived a virtuous life, he will feel the sermon liberating and empowering. If, on the other hand, he feels that he has lived wickedly or betrayed the church, the sermon will bring to the surface his anxiety and uncertainty.
