Some corrections:

Being a prophet also increases your stats.
There is a bug with which you can make your god a prophet, this is not advised and, as said, is a bug.

Forge item - researching in Construction helps. Different magics allow different items. Level one item costs 5 gems, level 2 10, level 3 20 and level 4 40. The few items needing level 5 in a path take 80 gems, IIRC right.

A few hints about when it is appopriate to use a command (like empower) would be nice, because this is for those who don't know such things...
For empowerment, I would suggest against it unless it allows you to cast a very good ritual, item or spell, or lets you use otherwise useless gems for rituals/items.

Some hints about different magics when creating a pretender would be nice. Short descriptions, like:

Fire magic lets you cast many different damaging spells. It also has Fire shield that greatly improves the efficiency of your Super Combatant. Evocation lets you cast most fire battlefield spells. Conjuration allows you to summon fire elementals in battle, as well as summer lions through a ritual. First level of enchantment lets you cast the fire shield.

Okay, they are not that short, but give some idea about the different schools.
Oh, damn. *slaps head* You see short descriptions from the choose magics screen. Oh well.
It is good that they did that before us, though.

Ssshh!!! Not worth the bother, though, IMO. He is not sacred or blessed, so doesn't get the cool bless bonuses.

I figured out how to get 2 prophets, though... make you god a prophet... kill him... wait... make a new prophet... call back your god (he's still a prophet)

But, yes, as Endoperez said, this is a bug and will be fixed soon - the god is not supposed to become his own prophet, except for maybe the Wyrm which has 2 heads, 2 brains, and I would assume 2 identities...

If anyone knows the full effects of dominion, and can post them here, I'd be grateful! For example, "increases pretender HP by dominion*10%, strength by dominion/2," and etc, and "raises friendly morale by 1", and "gives a 1% income bonus per level", "decreases unrest by X" or whatever it does. I'd like to know ALL of them, because dominion is pretty central to the game, and it is a common question. The ones above are mostly made up. Things like Conscription, vampires appearing for the vampire pretender, and so forth would be nice too. The rate of scale change for dominion levels would also be helpful.

Also, if anyone can read through the "scales" section of the guide and verify/correct all the information, or add stuff that was missed, it would be greatly appreciated! Specific luck-scale effects and verification of the exact numbers for each scale would be nice.
