Description
This rather new ritual is in fact a very old one (that was removed for a while). When performed upon an item related to your God (see below), it transforms the item in a being (also depending on your god). Due to the recent changes to dust devils, this totem (together with spectres) is the only summoned creature that will protect the performer. Totems have horrible offensive skills but when shielded, they may be a useful protection for younger priests. A totem will not attack a priest, and will depart if it starts fighting a priest or if a priest starts fighting it. Totems granted are different from God to God.
The totem's alignment is the same as that of the priest who summoned it.
Totems can be referred to as "totem", "summon", "minion", "creature", or the specific type ("salamander", "lungfish", etc). The Sandelfon version--a rocky creature--can also be referred to as a troll.
Special features of individual totems
Sandelfon's totem is notable in that it has troll skin.
Hat's totem leaves behind a party hat when it departs, effectively making it an endless source of free party hats.
Pishe's totem will not attack.
Help File
When performed upon an item of significance to your deity, it will summon a creature that protects you. The exact item and creature vary from god to god. To perform this ritual you will need a holy symbol, and you may only command one totem at a time.
Example
> perform totem on fluff You chant the psalm of transformation. You call upon Gufnork to transform a huge ball of orchid fluff. A dust bunny flashes into being.

It costs 40 gp to summon a totem if you are not already controlling any minions, and an additional 20 gp for every minion you're controlling. So, summoning a totem when you have one dust devil will cost 60 gp.
