Grants the priest the gift of speaking in tongues.

Description

The tongues ritual grants the priest the ability to fluently speak and understand the languages of the disc. Has a reasonable duration depending on skills, and performing the ritual a number of times will extend the effects.

Practically speaking, this means the ritual grants you 100 spoken in the following languages:

  • Agatean
  • Brindisian
  • Djelian
  • Dwarfish
  • Ephebian
  • Gnomish
  • Klatchian
  • Komic
  • Krullian
  • Morporkian
  • Tsortean
  • Uberwaldean
  • Wommon

Some of these languages are not learnable by other means.

Help File

When this ritual is performed, its priest is granted the gift of tongues, the ability to speak in and understand a multitude of foreign languages.

Example

> perform tongues

You kneel and spread your arms in benediction.
You pray for the Apostles' Gift.
Loudly now, you chant the names of Sandelfon in the many languages of the Discworld.
You humbly request the power to spread Sandelfon's Word.
The buzzing sound of a thousand voices speaking at once fills your mind, but somehow, you can understand each clearly and distinctly, no matter which language they're speaking.
