Subject: [PATCH] Make god gain/lose ability descriptions clearer.
For example, "You can no longer regenerate and be protected from hostile enchantments" may make it sound like you have DD regen, when it's actually referring to Trog's Hand.
I made all descriptions that could be ambiguous reference the god explicitly.
