I know that church, but it is less effective. We generally use it for magic
(go in, cast small lightning, go out).

The "double the grace" effect of an altar needs some prerequisites,
but I'm not sure what they are. Sooner or later it will work.

Just wait. Negative luck should time out, although I seem to remember
a bug in that respect... _maybe_ the timeout doesn't work for -1 -> 0.

Wisdom is easy --- go to brest (the village you get to when you leave Scorn
and turn south). In the lower right of brest you will find a white house
called "Administration". Go in and use the upstairs in the lower left.
You will be in a room with a few platinum coins and a sign pointing
you to the "10 armies".
Build some earthwalls like this:

Door
Door ########Earthwall
Wall ########Earthwall
Wall ########Earthwall
Wall ########Earthwall

Use your avatar to open the door and kill the dreads. At the bottom of
the corridor is a dragon --- kill him with snowstorms. Then there will
be another corridor up, with dreads and another dragon at the top.
And so on. Things will be a little more intresting later on; and there
will be a wizard which you may or may not be able to kill.

There are no items to be gotten there, so you can stop whenever you want.

Other ways to get wisdom experience is from demiliches and Jessies,
but you'll have to look around for these monsters.

Magic 14 is okay. Try the "castle" in brest --- there is a room with 46
electric dragons. Electric dragons can be grilled with fire. There are
quite a few other places like this, but you'll have to explore.

Physical 14 is quite good, considering that you don't have any decent
equipment.

In fact, level 10...15 in the basic skills are generally enough to
allow some exploring... you'll die every now and then, but that's life
:-)

It is an "artifact" spell --- it is never generated as a random prayerbook,
but is comparatively easy to get. Check goths tavern in Scorn for a hint.
