-	Update: Syntax has changed. It is now "Great and Holy Scyros, I beg for your insert_key_here" (succor and so forth). Actual Keys may sometimes cause pain-related messages such as "Pain arcs through your body." even though your algetic energies don't increase (unless that was from a mental disorder).
