 =head2 Game Mechanics
+=head3 What is this place I go to when I die?
+When you die, you go to a place called the nimbus. In the nimbus, you are
+able to play minesweeper for your experience. If you win and have applied
+all the spaces except for bombs, you will automatically be teleported to
+a hallway you can walk down to be teleported back to life, with your
+experience intact.
+If you lose by applying a bomb, you are teleported to a hallway
+with a flower, and you can walk down to be teleported back to life,
+without your experience you lost when you died. There are rumors
+that the Key to Life can let the losers walk in the winner's
+hallway, however...
 =head3 I lose health, but I can't see why! Or how do I cure diseases/depletion/poison?
 Here are the typical reasons why you lose health:
 =over 4
 effect (it only happens when you change items or are restored from
 depletion), it can sometimes look as if you are losing health. You can
 restore depletion by drinking a potion of life.

+=head3 How do diseases work?
+Diseases are obtained by things like traps or spells. Usually, they
+will reduce some of your attributes, like strength. They might also
+cause damage to you, or slow you down. Some of them infect monsters
+and players around you, spreading the disease.
+If your disease can be cured naturally, and if you do wait until
+it is cured naturally, you develop immunity for that level of
+disease. Higher level forms of that disease will still infect
+you, but you can wait it out to get better immunity.
+Some diseases, like rabies, cannot be cured by waiting.
+Instead, you will have to cure it magically. For information on how
+to do that, see the above entry.
 =head3 I lost an item! How?
 Well, we don't know. If you don't know, either, here is a partial list of
 ways people typically lose stuff:
 The I<identify> spell counts stacks of items, such as arrows or gems, as
 one 'item'. It can only identify a certain amount of items. Therefore, the
 only way to choose what it identifies is by dropping what you don't want
 identified on the ground.
+=head3 What do altars do?
+There are different types of altars. Altars found in churches and
+chapels are aligned to gods; they usually have decoration based
+on the god they are aligned to. You can pray at these altars to
+start worshipping the god the altar is aligned to, or pray to
+get over your normal grace limit, get grace faster, or any
+other effects the altar might have.
+Pink altars usually require a sacrifice, which can be seen by
+rolling your mouse over it at the bottom of the screen. If you
+drop the sacrifiice, it will activate something, like a gate, or
+maybe it will teleport something.
 =head3 How come I don't get any change from an altar?
 Altars do not give change. This means that you might drop a platinum piece
 on a table that identifies for 2 gold, or equivalent, and get only one
 identify. The equivalent means that you can make the price up in smaller
 This is done in two steps: first you have to I<prepare> your weapon
 for the desired number of enchantments, then you apply the enchanments
 (weapons remember how many times they can be enchanted further).
 To prepare a weapon, wield it and L<mark> (e.g. using the popup menu in
-the inventory) some diamonds, as a sacrifice, then read the I<Prepare
+the inventory) it. Then, as a sacrifice, drop some diamonds on the floor

+then read the I<Prepare Weapon> scroll. The square root of the total
-this way determines the number of enchantments the weapon accepts: one
+number of diamonds sacrificed this way determines the number of
-diamond for one enchanment, nine diamonds for three enchantments, 100
+enchantments the weapon accepts: one diamond for one enchanment, nine
-diamonds for ten enchantments and so on.
+diamonds for three enchantments, 100 diamonds for ten enchantments,
+and so on.
 Remember, once you prepare the weapon, it can only be wielded by you.
 After that, you can apply improvement and enchantnment scrolls:
 The skill level is the level of the skill that the spell uses (e.g.
 summoning or sorcery).

+When repelled, the malus is 16 levels always. If you are both attuned and

 the player can cast the spell and when calculating the effective casting
 level.

 =head2 Praying, Gods and Cults

+=head3 X<how_to_pray>How do I pray or get the praying skill?
 First enter the "praying mode" by readying your L<skill_description/praying> skill
 (by default bound to C<Alt-P>, or by typing C<rspraying>), then hold and keep holding
 C<Shift> and a direction key (e.g. C<Shift-Up>).
 de Clouds, the biggest city ever seen (high level and very high level
 quests). There are rumors about lands beyond (St. Bartholemew and other
 cities) and other even more mystical places, but little is known about
 that.
-=head2 Where is that damn Goblin Chief?
+=head3 Where is that damn Goblin Chief?
 In his cave to the north-east of the Scorn Gate. It is the one that starts
 with a random maze (yes, there are multiple caves). Keep in mind that the
 Goblin Chief's Head is fastened to his body, so you have to find and kill
 him first.
-=head2 Where can I find the I<comet> spell?
+=head3 Where can I find the I<comet> spell?
 In the tower of stars, which is almost directly south of Scorn (but not
 too near to it). You have to talk to people to solve this quest, and it
 does not involve a random maze.
