To be able to use your abilities given to you by your god, you need to remain within your given alignment. The 3 main ways to remain in alignment are pray, the burial commands, and by keeping careful note of what NPCs you kill.

The alignment of the NPC you may be killing can be found in a number of ways. Firstly, the rituals See Alignment and Detect Alignment will tell you the alignment of all in the room, or a single NPC respectively. Also, the red-hilted daggers available in the Sandelfon temple shop will tell alignment (if they are significantly different from neutral) in the form of a colored flame when used to attack a target. If you are trying to keep an evil alignment, good things to kill are priests of good alignment, like Althea. To try and keep a good alignment, the best place to kill things is the Gloomy forest. Killing atheists in the TOSG is good for every alignment. Please do NOT kill shopkeeper priests, this is most inconvenient and even illegal.

Pray and the burial commands effect your alignment directly. How good they are at moving you alignment is dependent on what skill you have in the faith.rituals.special skill, and can be very efficient at changing the alignment with a good bonus. Pray seems to be more effective when you are far out of alignment than when you are close, while the burial commands seem to be fairly effective no matter what your alignment is.

Note that the light ritual can give some indication of alignment for those who do not have the detect alignment ritual. When performed upon the target, they give off a certain light which can give a rough indication of what range they belong to.

Cyan - More good aligned. Green - Only slightly good to neutral. Yellow - Neutral to slightly evil. Red - More evil aligned.
