Syntax: desecration <holyitem> [<holyitem>...] By desecrating a number of holy items, an Orc has the ability to curse the ground on which he stands. The Orc can only do so after bloodying himself in battle, and the acts of desecration are somewhat time-consuming. Powerful Desecrations leave the orc steeped in unholy favor, and slightly protected from divine harm for some time.
