The '''proselytize''' skill takes 1000 [[action cost]], or a full turn. When you use it, you will be asked for a direction, then attempt to proselytize the creature standing next to you in that direction. A successful usage will convince that creature to join you indefinitely. You can only have one creature proselytized at a time. Proselytize is an [[ego]] stat based attack that is defended against by [[Mental Armor]], however it does not cause creatures to go hostile, unlike [[Beguile]].
{{name}} is a skill which allows its users to attempt to recruit creatures to their side.

When the player uses it, they will be asked for a direction, then attempt to proselytize the creature standing next to them in that direction. A successful usage will convince that creature to join the proselytizer indefinitely. Only one creature can be proselytized at a time.  
 
Mechanically, proselytize is an [[Ego]]-based attack versus the target creature's [[Mental Armor]]. However, a failed attempt will not make the target hostile, unlike failing an attempt at {{F|Beguiling}}.
 
Unlike beguiling, it is possible to proselytize creatures that have [[Mental shield|mental shields]].
 
Proselytize can be learned through [[water ritual]] with legendary [[Mechanimists]]; this includes {{favilink|Eschelstadt II, High Priest of the Stilt}}, who can be found on every run at the {{favilink|Six Day Stilt}}.

==Immunity==
 
Certain creatures are explicitly unable to be proselytized by the player; this immunity is unrelated to creature stats or [[mental shield]], but is rather a special exemption due to their nature. These include:
 
* Clones of the player character or their currently controlled body, such as those produced by {{F|Evil Twin}}, {{F|gelatinous prism|plural}} or {{F|gelatinous antiprism|plural}}, {{F|hexagonal crystal|plural}}, and {{F|Temporal Fugue}}. Clones budded from the use of {{F|cloning draught}} lack this property and may be proselytized.
* {{F|Wraith-Knight Templar}}
* All [[Templar]] mecha, such as {{F|Temple mecha mk II|plural}}, {{F|Temple mecha mk Ia|plural}} and {{F|Temple mecha mk Ib|plural}}.
