Consequences[]

  • Asking for joy is a waste of a gift, since for your ancestors to appear, your clan usually is in a pretty good mood.
  • Asking for magic will increase your total clan magic.
  • A little more esoteric, asking for wisdom increases the stats of your ring members, though you won't notice to great of a jump in abilities.
  • About the worst choice to make, declining the offer of your ancestors will anger them, and they even remove some of your clan magic.
  • Asking for luck for your war parties will make things much easier when you raid.  However, this doesn't guarantee automatic success.
