'INITIATE'
Syntax: initiate self <element>
The initiate command is used to declare allegiance to an element. Each of
the elements is represented by one of Serin's Immortals. A list of
elements, along with their alignments deities, is on the
DEITY LIST.
Note that a player may only initiate with an element if their alignment is
similar to (one off any axis) the element with which they wish to initiate.
Initiating with an element is a necessary step before one can
PLEDGE to
a deity.
Each element has a guiding Immortal who is the deity that is followed by
default on initiating. Initiates can later choose to follow a different
god when they pledge a permanent allegience. There is no current support
for an initiate being able to choose a god directly.
An initiate is not a firm commitment and may be changed without penalty.
However, initiates will not be allowed to perform a
DEVOTE to receive
gifts from their deity.
