Frenzy fills the recipient with righteous fury, greatly increasing his or 
her melee attack skills and damaging capacity.  Unfortunately, this divine

text `=lSyntax: `=?commune 'aura of temperance'`+
`+
Discovered long ago by a humble cleric searching for her peace and harmony 
during the violent times of war, this spell granted her something she always 
desired, but had been out of reach.  She was being charged by a pack of war 
dogs when approaching the gory battle scenes.  Uttering a quick prayer of 
mercy, her prayers were answered, and the fierce glare of the charging 
canines turned into a look of indifference as they slowed to a halt and soon 
turned their back in her.  The cleric, when granted protection from the 
diety, is surrounded by an undetectable aura that has a tendency to sooth 
even the most aggressive of beasties.  `+

text This powerful prayer can save the faithful cleric's life, should he find 
himself disarmed or otherwise without a weapon.  To call upon this power, 
the priest raises his arm toward the heavens and murmurs a devotion of 
faith.  As the syllables are uttered, a sturdy warhammer hewn from ether 
materializes in his palm, a gift from his patron.  The hammer can be used as 
any ordinary weapon for the duration of this prayer, dealing out holy (or 
unholy) retribution before disappearing into thin air.
