Details:	Perform the final rite upon a corpse, delivering them from their corporeal bonds and granting them peace. This holy purification will nourish you and your symbiote, restoring you in spirit. Attempt to deliver a target from the evil which plagues them, coaxing their inner demons to come forth and face the light's judgement. The target must be prone or suffering from paresis for this to take effect, and will be unable to suffer the truth of their transgressions if they have the hardcoating defence. By performing such a holy act of purification, you will find yourself nourished in spirit, your life blood restored at the expense of the evildoer. Look at HELP TYPES for more information on what is regarded as a physical affliction.

Details:	At times, infidels may seek to bar you from your duty, and this simply cannot be permitted.

Details:	Syntax: BURY ICON, RETREAT, and MANIFEST In order to establish a secure bunker, you must first purchase a holy icon, and bury it somewhere with soft soil, somewhere unlikely to be disturbed or dug up. You may only have one icon and one bunker at a time. Once the icon is buried, the act will consecrate the ground and become a bunker, allowing you to retreat to it provided you are within the same area.
