== How it works ==
When you learn the rituals you can start performing the rituals on consecrated items. [[Divine Guard]] doesn't require anything and costs around 100 GP while [[Divine Sentinel]] costs around 170 GP, a block of incense and also requires your prayer book with the correct prayer inside it. When you do successfully perform the ritual on an item you can then "bestow" a ritual on that item which go off when the item is stolen.

== Bestowing ==
The syntax is "<code>bestow <ritual> on <item></code>".

Now, when you bestow a ritual onto an item, it uses the exact amount of GP as if you are performing the ritual normally. So lets say I want to put [[Major Shield]] in an item so that if it gets stolen, I get Major Shielded, it will cost 120 GP. So, that's 100 GP (170 GP if using Sentinel) plus the 120 GP, then you have to repeat this another 2 times for the other two rituals (if desired). So you should expect having to spend over 550 GP and 2 blocks on incense on average per item which makes warding a very time consuming business. And that's before you consider the very high likelihood of failing the bestow.

== Colour ==
Now, when you have successfully warded your item you will notice some colours around the items.
* Red means a ritual in the item will be targeted on the thief (think [[Visions]], [[Blight]], [[Feedback]], [[Paralysis]], etc.)
* Blue means a ritual is a defensive ritual and will be performed on the victim (think [[Dust Devil]], [[Major Shield]], etc.)
* Green means some sort of healing ritual or something will be placed on the victim ([[Cure Light Wounds]])
* White means a ritual will be targeted at the victim (think [[Holy Sacrifice]], [[Dark Sight]] also)
* Yellow I actually don't know what yellow means as yet... but I know [[Relief]] is a yellow coloured ritual.

=== Yellow Explanation ===
Like when I mix up [[Feedback]] and [[Relief]] I get "It has a colourful aura, with flickers of red and yellow." I'm presuming that Yellow means a colour that interacts between thief and victim, in the case of [[Relief]] the thief's GP is given to the victim.

=== Shades ===
When a ritual is just the colour, it means there is only one type of ritual that falls under that category on the item. For example, if we have a ring with [[Visions]]] on it, it will have a "red aura" and that is it, but if I add [[Agoraphobia]] to it also I will get a "dark red aura" showing that there are two offensive rituals on it. If I place a third offensive ritual, it becomes an "ominous red glow".

I have a gold ring with [[Dust Devil]], [[Minor Shield]] and [[Cure Light Wounds]], and it currently says "It has a colourful aura, with flickers of green and dark blue." - green for the 1 healing ritual, dark blue for the 2 defensive ones.

A silver ring that has [[Dark Sight]] and [[Holy Sacrifice]] and, let's say, [[Cure Medium Wounds]] will have a dark white aura (*chuckles*) and green.

Simple.

== Misc. Information ==
=== Learnt At Levels ===
[[Divine Guard]] and [[Divine Sentinel]] are learnt by advancing [[faith.rituals.defensive.target]]. Still don't have exact levels, but I'm presuming 150 for [[Divine Guard|guard]] and 220 for [[Divine Sentinel|sentinel]].

=== Skills ===
The process of bestowing a ritual as a ward uses [[faith.items.scroll]], with the difficulty depending upon the difficulty of the ritual you're bestowing, rather than its GP cost. For example, [[Blight]] - which is a relatively cheap ritual at only 70 GP - is extremely difficult to ward with, just as it is extremely difficult to perform.

=== Warding Order ===
I'm told that the order of the how the rituals are put into an item is significant. Let's say someone puts [[Fumble]] and then [[Stasis]] onto an item; the thief will fumble and then get put in the stasis ball. However, if I put [[Stasis]] and then [[Fumble]] into an item, it puts the thief into a stasis ball and then they get fumbled. The rituals are "performed" by the ward essentially simultaneously, but the ones bestowed first are are applied first.

=== Rituals of Different Gods ===
You can get rituals from different gods by giving your item to a fellow priest, let them consecrate and bestow and then they give the item back from you. So it's possible for a Hat priest to have a combination like [[Paralysis]], [[Blight]] and [[Relief]]. Note that the required consecration makes this process effectively impossible for faith rods and other faith items (which cannot any longer be consecrated to a new god).

Note also that the "bestow" syntax does not permit warding with a ritual from a [[Faith rods|faith rod]], so your god must grant the ritual which you wish to bestow. (Having [[Divine Sentinel]] on a [[Faith rods|faith rod]] is fine, however.)

== Useful Combinations ==
* [[Relief]], [[Blight]], [[Paralysis]] (anyone)
* [[Visions]], [[Agoraphobia]], [[Unwilling Host]] (for hat only pretty much)
* [[Visions]], [[Agoraphobia]], Sotto Voce]] (anyone)
* [[Fumble]], [[Endless Halls]], [[Visions]] (anyone)
* [[Feedback]], [[Relief]], [[Visions]] (Good combo, tested it myself)
* [[Blight]], [[Feedback]], [[Relief]] (This will probably kill the thief)
