T h e Hallowed Temple ritual creates a shimmering temple associated w i t h your deity. T h e temple occupies a close burst 7 as it materializes around you. T h e structure incor­ porates as many appropriate artistic e l e m e n t s as you like: the exterior features iconography, stained-glass w i n d o w s , and other decorative features, and the interior contains an altar, statues, or other appropriate items related to your faith. The temple is comfortable, and creatures inside it feel close to your god. It is i m m u n e to damage. A c c e s s to the interior is through the temple's front (and only) door. T h e walls of the temple, including the door, are solid obsta­ cles. T h e temple and all its contents (even items removed from the temple) vanish at the e n d of the ritual's duration.
