verb was used to determine if a [[Cleric]] would receive ''Smite'' (which was mostly effective on the [[Undead]]) or ''Bane'', which was more effective on the living. It was also factored into the cost of the spell, making it more costly for those not CONVERTed to one of the "Major" Arkati. |

Since being introduced, the selection of deity has seen a dramatic increase in implementation. Many [[Cleric Base|cleric]] and [[Paladin Base|paladin]] spells have different appearance and/or effect based upon the patron of the character. Certain items, such as the Ravias and Brother Weatherby holy symbols have special zests usable only by those that follow certain Gods. Additionally, it has been stated that tools exist to restrict entrance to rooms, offer better prices at merchants, and tailor a slew of other things to a character's conversion. |

Each character begins the game with the ability to CONVERT to their chosen deity. Prior to the release of [[Intercession]], two conversions were available. The option for converting was removed if a deity was already chosen at that time. Forsaking the current god via CONVERT FORSAKE and an Intercession will allow for the choosing of a different deity. |

The CONVERT verb allows a player to align a character to one of the deities in Elanthia. The verb is the same for all characters, however clerics and paladins will see the effects of the convert status with chants, titles, and spells.
Help
Note: Displays with CONVERT or CONVERT HELP.
Usage:
CONVERT LIST - List all deities available to select
CONVERT SET {#} - Sets which deity you wish to worship
CONVERT FORSAKE - Permanently clears your deity selection
* * * * * * * * * * WARNING * * * * * * * * * * * *
You can only manually set your deity alignment once
* * * * * * * * * * WARNING * * * * * * * * * * * *
You have not chosen a patron deity.
Usage
LIST
CONVERT LIST will display the list of patrons broken down by Arkati and Lesser Spirit.
(Major Arkati/Spirit) || Lesser Spirit/Arkati 1) Koar 31) Niima 2) Lumnis 32) Aeia 3) Ronan 33) Leya 4) Lorminstra 34) Tilamaire 5) Imaera 35) Laethe 6) Phoen 36) Voaris 7) Kai 37) Kuon 8) Oleani 38) Jaston 9) Jastev 39) Voln 10) Eonak 11) Cholen 12) Zelia 13) Fash'lo'nae 14) Tonis (Major Arkati/Spirit) || Lesser Spirit/Arkati 50) Eorgina 71) Arachne 51) Sheru 72) The Huntress 52) Luukos 73) Amasalen 53) V'tull 74) Onar 54) Mularos 75) Ghezresh 55) Ivas 56) Marlu 57) Andelas 58) Gosaena 59) Charl 999) Other
SET #
CONVERT SET will allow an unconverted character the opportunity to select an arkati or lesser spirit to convert to.
Note: Once a deity is selected, another cannot be selected without the aid of Intercession.
Messaging
Usage: CONVERT SET <#> - Sets which deity you wish to worship
- The proper syntax for use is convert set (number) [confirm]. Typing CONVERT SET # without CONFIRM provides a means to check oneself. CONFIRMing it will set your deity, if the character in question has CONVERTs remaining.
FORSAKE
CONVERT FORSAKE cause a character to forsake their deity, and will clear their alignment. This choice must be confirmed. Note: Similar to CONVERT SET #, this is a one time choice, and will not allow a character to be able to convert to another deity without the aid of Intercession.
Messaging
- Unconverted:
There's no need to forsake the gods when you aren't even following one!
- Converted:
You are choosing to forsake the gods, clearing your deity alignment. You must CONFIRM this action as there is NO changing it once it is done.
CONFIRM CHOICE of forsaking the gods.
