WIP for real this time
Holy sites have several positive effects. Except when otherwise stated, all these effects are available only to accounts with Premium time, and that have at least 30 faith with the Holy site’s god.
<!--  Passive '''Pulse Effects: These are active whenever you are within the Holy Site. Special visual effects and a spell effect icon will make it clear when you are within the Holy Site’s current borders.All Holy Sites:Doubled quality gain bonus for items favored by the Holy Site’s deity. In other words, items receive +20% to quality increases from improvement, rather than +10%:Fo: Clay and cloth itemsVynora: Wooden itemsMagranon: Metal itemsLibila: Leather itemsHigher Faith gain, and greater Favor gain for your god, for all prayers and sermons held at any altar within the Holy Site (or at the Holy Site item itself).'''Fo Holy Sites: Hostile animals will no longer be hostile towards you. This is the same effect Fo priests normally have.Libila Holy Sites: Hostile monsters will no longer be hostile towards you. This is the same effect Libila priests normally have.Wellspring of Knowledge: A small chance to catch any special fish while fishing, as long as you are using a tool that can be used to catch that type of fish.Special actions: An action specific to each type of Holy Site that can be performed on the Holy Site’s special item. Once this action is performed, you will need to wait until the next Pulse Event to perform it again.Wishing Tree: Harvest a random harvestable product from the tree using a sickle. This can include any type of fruit, berry, nut, herb, or spice. This provides more items than harvesting a normal tree or bush, and at higher quality. This can also give special items within those categories that are not available anywhere else, and that grant more complexity than normal food to any dishes they are used in.Sampo: Feast for a refresh effect giving you maximum food, water, stamina, and CCFP bars, curing any disease, a random temporary affinity of long duration similar to a food affinity, and a significant amount of source salt added to your inventory. There is a rare chance to get a Source Seed along with the source salt which when fed to an animal will increase your effective animal husbandry skill when breeding it for 1 hour.Wellspring of Knowledge: Imbibe the liquid for a long spell effect granting additional chance of rarity on item improvement.Akashic Mirror: Gaze into the mirror for skill checks (with significant potential skill gain) in various characteristics, a Meditating skill check with half the skill gain of a normal Meditating action but without affecting your meditation cooldown timers, and a small increase to a random skill.Glowing Fissure: Unearth a random item using a pickaxe, shovel, or trowel. This will usually be a gem (sometimes with Favor stored in it already), but has a small chance of being a large source crystal, and a very small chance of being a random unique blood. On rare actions, there is a chance of receiving a strange bone fragment instead.Otherworldly Monolith: Rummage at the monolith for a random metal lump from the impact site. These can be, in order of decreasing likelihood: A random base metal (any metal that can be mined as ore), a random alloy, empyrean iron, and a random moon metal.Empyrean iron is a new type of metal that can be harvested in this manner as well as from Magranon ritual effect meteorites.Abyssal Circle: Channel a crystal containing the soul of a random type creature, possibly with the Champion or Diseased condition.A soul crystal can be broken with a hammer, blunt weapon, or sacrificial knife in exchange for a powerful Mind Stealer-like effect, using the creature template to determine possible skills. “Diseased” condition gives less skill and “Champion” condition gives more.Pillar of Decay: Extract a flesh pod using any valid butchering tool.The flesh pod may be hatched into a tamed Simulacrum creature by using it on any tile. If the flesh pod has a condition such as “Champion” or “Greenish”, the creature will have that condition.Quality of flesh pod, rarity of flesh pod, and type of tile used to hatch the Simulacrum will affect its size and the values of several of its characteristics, making it weaker or stronger in combat.Pulse Effects: A Holy Site will “pulse” roughly once per hour, having an immediate effect on the players and/or the immediate surroundings.All Premium premium accounts may benefit from Pulse Effectspulse effects, even if they do not worship the Holy Site’s deitysite’s god.* Wishing Tree: Spawns flowers randomly on grass tiles in and near the Holy Site, and makes all trees and bushes in that area harvestable again even if they aren’t in season.* Sampo: Humid Drizzle effect on all animals in and near the Holy Site, and resets their shearing status.* Wellspring of Knowledge: Awards a small amount of Sleep Bonus to everyone present within the Holy Site.* Akashic Mirror: Awards a small amount of Sleep Bonus to everyone present within the Holy Site, and has a slight chance of giving a treasure hunt map.* Glowing Fissure: Erupts, giving one archaeology fragment to everyone within the Holy Site.** Fragment item types are drawn from a different list than usual, with some items (notably wooden items, for obvious reasons) absent and many other items added.Some items that are impossible to find through normal archaeology can be found as these fragments, and some items normally available through archeology are excluded (especially wooden items).** Fragments should generally have somewhat better end results in terms of enchantments, runes, and materials.* Otherworldly Monolith: Summons a quantity of Magranon ritual meteorites to land on random tiles within and near the Holy Site.These function identically to normal Ritual of the Sun meteorites, and cannot harm players by falling on them.* Abyssal Circle, Pillar of Decay: Long-lasting “Rampage” spell effect on everyone within the Holy Site.
This effect provides an offensive CR bonus and a significant reduction in stamina drain.
The power and duration of this effect can be extended by killing creatures while the effect is active.
'''Expiration effects: '''When an activated Holy Site site expires, the following things will happen:* A very large amount of Favor[[favor]], for charging ritual spells, is granted to the Holy Site’s deitysite’s god.* This amount is increased by higher Power power when the Holy Site expires, decreased by higher Corruptioncorruption. Rarity of the Holy Site site also increases this amount significantly.* One last Pulse Effect pulse effect is triggered, but with a significantly enhanced effect, as if the Holy Site site had Power power closer to 100.'''Creature spawns: '''Creatures may spawn in or near the Holy Sitesite, often with conditions. This may include creatures with conditions that cannot spawn normally, such as a scared seal or champion sheep.The types of creatures that can spawn, and the conditions they are likely to have, depends on the type of Holy Sitesite.Magranon and Libila sites have a slightly higher chance to spawn champion creatures.
'''Backlash effects'''
When performing any action at a Holy Site site that might affect its Power power or Corruption corruption level (praying, preaching, purifying, or desecrating), there is a chance of a negative “Backlash” effect happening to you. This effect usually shares a theme with the Holy Site site type or deitygod.
The chance of a Backlash effect, and the average intensity of them, is increased by:
 * The Holy Site’s Corruption site’s corruption being above 40.* Higher Corruption corruption if praying or preaching to increase Powerpower.* Higher Power power if attempting to desecrate the site.* Lower skill for a Power power or Corruption corruption influencing action (Prayingpraying, Preachingpreaching, or Exorcismexorcism).* Actions relating directly to Corruption corruption (purifying or desecrating).  If the Holy Site’s Corruption is above 40, there is also a small chance to trigger a Backlash effect when performing the Holy Site’s special action. 
If the Holy site’s corruption is above 40, there is also a small chance to trigger a backlash effect when performing the Holy site’s special action.
All Backlash backlash effects may be partially or completely resisted by a Soul Strength soul strength skill check.
Various backlash effects are possible, including a random wound, various hostile spell effects being applied to you, or hostile creatures being summoned against you.
