Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

And this is far from the only ability that can "fail" and still cost piety: I mentioned Ely pacification, there's also Makhleb's servants and several abilities that don't exactly "fail" but will frequently fail to produce a useful effect (major destruction, call merchant, any Nemelex ability with bad cards).
