Praying for salvation

Praying for salvation is the act of praying to Maya, the Great Mother, for safe delivery unto Her Halls after you have died. After making your way through the Halls as a soul, you will, if the Creatrix deems your death untimely (and most adventurer deaths are), reawaken in the Cave of Maya where She has re-crafted your old body into one as good as new.

There are other means of returning to life. Of the various methods, praying for salvation costs the most experience in addition to that which you have already lost through death itself, and is usually done when one has no other means are available.
