'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. See also: PLEDGE
