Page "Sword of Fargoal" Paragraph 16

Each dungeon level contains a temple.

Every time the warrior steps on a temple, their gold is sacrificed to their deity which earns additional experience.

When about 2000 gold is sacrificed, the warrior receives a " blessing " and regains full hit points which is useful in a pinch.

In the iPhone version, shields the player is carrying will be renewed when they are blessed.

If a warrior remains standing on a temple, it acts as a sanctuary where they become invisible to enemies around them and heal hit points at twice their normal rate.
