If I am not mistaken, this "feature" is also in 0.94.x, and it
works with almost all gods (not only Valriel or the old Jehovah).
I don't have the code at hand for the moment so I cannot check it,
but what you describe sounds like the "random gifts" that any god
can give to a player that has maximum grace, 25 Wiz and is praying
on an altar of his god: then the god will teach random prayers to
the player.  This includes the various immunities, if your
character has reached the corresponding level.

Which already has the same "feature", so I do not understand what
you are complaining about...  I fully understand that you complain
about this feature that can easily be abused, but I do not
understand why you are criticizing the recent versions of CF,
because this "random prayer" stuff has existed for at least two
years (if I remember correctly).
