Boons

Boons are rewards given by gods to Eldred (the playable character) during the missions in the campaign. They are mostly given when and if a certain condition in the mission is fulfilled, although some are awarded simply by winning the mission as per usual. The condition for getting the boon is almost always the optional mission objective, but as most missions don't have one, the condition may be hard to find and fulfill on your own.

The rewards are improvements of wizard's stats. The gods always offer two different kinds of improvements and it is up to the player to judge which one he or she will take. In most cases gods give the same rewards, although there are exceptions. The most common formula is that the following gods give the choice of following improvements:

• Persephone: maximum mana or health regeneration rate improvements (one exception) - gives 7 boons
• James: maximum health or resistance to magical damage improvements (two exceptions) - gives 7 boons
• Stratos: maximum mana or movement speed improvements (no exceptions) - gives 5 boons
• Pyro: maximum health or resistance to physical damage improvements (no exceptions) - gives 5 boons
• Charnel: maximum mana or resistance to physical damage improvements (no exceptions) - gives 6 boons

The strength of the boons varies from mission to mission.

Even though there are nine missions for each god, the boons can only be awarded on the first six missions, so a total of six boons can be given in the course of single playthrough of Sacrifice's campaign. The only exceptions are Charnel's fifth mission in which due to a bug in scripting a boon is never awarded and James's fifth mission in which two different gods reward you with a boon (but you can receive only one). This puts the boon count to a total of 30 boons throughout the campaign.

The boon benefactor is often not the same god as the mission giver. If a god is pleased by the work you're doing for another god or if you decide to betray the god you serve for a different god, he or she may give you the boon.
