Favor starts at zero, is capped at 100, and is allowed to go arbitrarily
negative.

When receiving divine punishment, your favor will be reset to zero - as the
vented frustration has been, well, vented.

  healing    - casting healing magic
  judgement  - casting nukes and debuffs

  repentance - ability to regain favor
  saccrifice - used in certain spells
  knowledge  - know the teachings, predict changes in favor
               learn new prayers

The blessing, healing, judgement, and saccrifice skills are primarily used
when casting spells. There might be other uses for them later.

The devotion skill is a measurement of how much worship energy you produce,
and therefore is an indication of how much interest the gods will take in your
actions. This should be our two-edged sword:
  - it increases a player's chances of receiving the answer to their prayer,
    and improves the strength of their answers
  - it also increases the amount of favor lost for transgression

The repentance skill is a measurement of how good the player is at getting
out of the spiritual doghouse. It should act as a logarithmic bonus to favor
gained by good deeds, ie:
  - if your favor is negative, then a high repentance should help you to zero
    out quickly
  - if your favor is low, then it should have a measurable impact on favor
    gains
  - if your favor is high, even a large repentance skill shouldn't affect
    things very much

The prayer skills each correspond to an individual high level prayer and are
like the magic.spell skills. The higher your prayer skill gets, the more
powerful, faster, efficient, etc... that particular prayer becomes.

The knowledge skills are a measure of how much you know about a particular
god and his teachings/commandments. When you do things that could potentially
alter your favor, a high knowledge will inform you of the potential change.
High knowledge should also make you more accountable. The gods are not as
willing to forgive someone who should know better.

Learning new prayers is predicated on sufficient knowledge skill. The success
of prayers depends on your casting skills.
