-The '''Prayer of Communion''' is one of the most sacred abilities a [[cleric]] possesses. Upon casting this spell, a cleric attempts to establish a spiritual link between himself and his patron. If the link is successful, the cleric can then attempt to attract the deity's attention by a ritual or offering. The gods are capricious, though, and certainly do not consider themselves to be at the beck and call of mortals. When a deity is contacted, proper respect is strongly encouraged, as many proud clerics have met their demise in failing to show said respect.

The Prayer of Communion is a very personal spell and should not be cast at another player or creature. Though, a caster may direct the spell at a holy symbol to display his devotion.

	A cleric can also attempt to contact his patron, or even a god that is not his patron, through the use of the '''COMMUNE''' verb. However, a cleric is more likely to successfully establish links with his patron, slightly less likely to link with another deity of the same [[pantheon]] as his patron, and significantly less likely to link with a god of a different pantheon. A cleric will also be more likely to link to a god in a shrine dedicated to that deity. Even though a cleric attempts to contact a particular god, he is not guaranteed that his desired listener will be the god that responds. Many gods find delight in toying with the followers of other deities.
