PRAYER FAQ
==========

By Justin Zeth (zeth@starmen.net)

The list of prayers and what they do that you can find in the
player's guide and/or in Nintendo Power magazine are wrong!
The following is the real list of prayer results, what they
do, and how rare or common they are:

=================
DESIRABLE EFFECTS
=================

VERY SUBTLE LIGHT: The most common prayer result.  It causes
all members of your party to recover a small amount of HP.

WARM LIGHT: Twice as powerful as the very subtle light, but
also half as common.

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT: All characters in the party (except Jeff,
of course) recover a very small amount of PP, only 4-5.  A
fairly common result.

DAZZLING LIGHT 2: This Dazzling light "chases the enemy",
causing pretty heavy damage (although it's not as impressive
later in the game) on a single enemy.  Rare.  This is what the
player's guide refers to as "Sheet Lightning."

GOLDEN LIGHT: Chooses one character in your party and maxes out
his or her HP.  Very rare.

===================
UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS
===================

DAZZLING LIGHT 1: This Dazzling light "envelops" everyone in
the battle.  It has the effect of a PSI Flash alpha spell,
causing crying or confusion.  It affects both friends and foes,
and is a fairly common prayer result.

MYSTERIOUS AROMA: Everyone (friend and enemy) falls asleep.
Not an uncommon result.  Usually the enemies will wake up before
you do, for some reason.

HEAVY AIR: This causes defense ratings to drop slightly, like
a PSI Defense Down spell.  It affects everyone in the battle,
but for some reason it usually doesn't work on enemies...

TERRIBLE, HEAVEN-RENDING SOUND: Causes everyone in the battle
(both ally and enemy) to feel strange.  Having your entire party
feeling strange is NOT fun.  This effect is rare, but the chance
of it happening is why, in my opinion, you should never pray in
boss fights (except Giygas of course) unless you're REALLY
desperate.

=================
WILD-CARD EFFECTS
=================

RAINBOW-COLORED LIGHT: This is the rarest prayer result, and also
the most powerful.  Everything that has been killed/made unconscious
during the battle, both friends and enemies, will be revived and
restored to full HP.  If Ness and Poo are both unconscious and you
don't have any Lifenoodles or Horns of Life, you can Pray hoping
for this result, but the odds are seriously against you.
