Actually Lala is correct in what she stated. As a former priest who
spent a LOT of time sacrificing animals for the good of the church, I
often mastered animals rather than prepared them as I could bring
many more to the shrines in a single trip. I know very well that I
was not the only one who did this as everyone I knew who had the
mastery skill did the same whenever possible.

To Echo.. Have you ever looked into the eyes of the animal who has
"chosen" to be sacrificed for the good of the church? I have and it
is why I am no longer a priest.

May Oneiros grant you all his blessed peace.
