Overly complicated and bad way to fix nothing (Ely fluff)
Ely is flavoured as pacifistic but the current iteration doesn't reflect that.
Solution: Just change the messages printed and fix some minor stuff.
Killing
"You kill the foo" is replaced with
"you spare the foo."
if foo=unliving, return "you destroy the foo."
if foo=undead, return "The foo's soul can finally move on".
No "extra" gore happens when you kill something, but blood still spills normally during a fight.
Disintegration, inner flame and immolation are now banned under Ely. Disint is not gonna survive the evocalypse anyway, who cares. Or you could hand-wave away the explosive death of those, too.
Buchtery, flaying and whale flensing
No corpses generate when you spare a monster, if it would have left one, it is automatically turned into chunks.
"The foo left food behind to thank you for your mercy."
"The foo left a (foo hide) behind to thank you for your mercy."
"Pacified" monsters on a rampage
None of that nonsense anymore, just make a monster go to Ely's green meadow heaven (rapture) when pacify works, this is also actually better for gameplay reasons ("MOVE UPSTAIRRRRSSSSSS!").

I probably forgot some stuff but this should do for a start.
