[CF-Devel] Notes on new prayers

[Peter Mardahl]

1)  Sanctuary:
  a new class of spell, an "aura".  It surrounds the player and
hits each square around him with AT_COUNTERSPELL.  This provides
a good but not foolproof defense against cones, magic projectiles,
and explosions.

2) Holy Rage:
  Basically the spell of haste, constitution, strength, dex, regeneration,
armour, and improved weapon class all in one prayer.  This will require
some balancing.  I'm considering restricting it so one rage in effect
at a time:  no additive rages.

3) Peace:
  Converts monsters into peaceful pushovers.  When it does that it
assigns experience points to the caster.  Conversion success follows
the same rule as deathstrike.  Peace flows in a cone spell in front
of the caster.

4) Forked lighting:
  Lightning will fork into daughter lightnings off at angles.  
The daughter forks may also fork.  Damage is halved at every fork, or
actually, dam= dam/2 +1;  It's sort of like a narrow cone.

5) Flaming Aura:
  Another Aura spell, this one hits the area adjacent to the caster with
AT_FIRE.

6) Spiderweb:
  A cone spell, leaves behind spider webs to slow monsters or players
who walk into the web.
