Gives you a rough idea of a target's alignment.
Contents
Description
Gives a very precise indication of the target's alignment in the form of the priest receiving a vision of a number of objects doing something in one of two colours or type of object, with the number representing the degree of alignment from 0 (neutral) to 50 (as good/evil as you can get) and the colour or type of object indicating whether the target is good or evil. If the target is neutral, the priest's vision will indicate explicitly that nothing much has happened - this is not a failure. The details of the vision are god-specific. Additionally, the range of possible numbers is much smaller when the priest has insufficient skills; the exact nature of this reduced range has not yet been fully explored.
Per-God Varieties
| God | Object Type | Degree Indicator | Good Colour/Type | Evil Colour/Type | Ideal Alignment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pishe | Coloured drops from a vial | Number of drops | Gold | Purple | 25-26 Golden Drops |
| Gufnork | Balls of fluff | Number of balls | Gold | Purple | 6-7 golden balls |
| Gapp | Buttons on a balance | Number of buttons | White | Black | 3 good |
| Sandelfon | Scale | Degrees on the scale | Degrees towards feather | Degrees towards the stauette | Perfectly Level |
| Fish | Two fish chasing and eating each other | Number of bites | Sole eats carp | Carp eats sole | 0-1 evil |
| Hat | Vulture eating corpse's organ | Number of pecks | Heart eaten | Liver eaten | Liver eaten in 5 pecks |
| Sek | Coloured flares from a brazier | Number of flares | Silver | Orange | 25-26 Orange Flares |
Alignment Ranges
| Alignment | Range |
|---|---|
| Extremely Good/Evil | 24 to 50 |
| Very Good/Evil | 12 to 25 |
| Quite Good/Evil | 6 to 12 |
| Good/Evil | 3 to 6 |
| Barely Good/Evil | 1 to 2 |
| Neutral | 0 to 1 |
There seem to be instances of overlaps in the ranges, where the same number may cover two separate textual alignments, but this needs more coroberation.

The Detect Alignment ritual gives you an indication of the target's moral compass. Each god has a different way of expressing this, from mechanically precise to visceral and ritualistic.
Example
| > perform detect alignment on taffyd
You recite the psalm of acquisition.
