Effect
Casts a random spell in dungeons; increases hit points or food to 15, or attempts to remove adjacent monster on world map
Prayer is an amazing Spell that can really save your life in a tight situation. On the overworld, its effect depends on your situation. If there is a Creature nearby, it will attempt to remove that Creature. This will get rid of the monster, but you'll earn no reward. However, if either your HP or Food is below 15, it will increase one of them to 15. (If both are below 15, it will increase HP to 15.) Thus, provided you aren't under attack, you can always survive to make it to town.
In dungeons, Prayer instead Casts a random Spell, including Wizard-exclusive Spells even if you're not a Wizard. Of course, there's no way to predict what will be Cast, so this isn't reliable. There are no negative Spell effects, so if you really need a particular Spell (like Ladder Up, perhaps), you can repeatedly Cast Prayer until you get it.
