How bad is Dith's penance?
I had a VERY stupid moment in the dire elephant L:8 ending where I though it would be a good idea to burn my way to that rod tucked in a corner of forest...while worshiping Dith. Six "you feel very guilty" messages later, it turned out to be a Rod of Fiery Destruction.
Obviously I should have known better. Much, much better. Alas, here I am, extremely penitent for my transgression.
I've never ticked off a god before, so this whole penance thing is unfamiliar territory. My question is: exactly how penitent am I, numbers-wise? Is there a cap, or did each of those six ignited trees dig me deeper into the hole? How long should I expect it to take before I'm back in Dith's crepuscular good graces? And how painful is it going to be to try to survive wrath effects until then?
EDIT: I found a page about penance on the wiki, should I trust it? http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Penance My ^ screen says "You should show more discipline", and according to that page that's actually very little penance whatsoever. But I don't like to blindly trust the wiki, esp. pages that don't have a version flag.
