I don't know about the Idiocy Spirit, but it seems appropriate. On another slant, however, a true Orlanthi would baulk at performing what most would construe as an act of sacrilege. If you were not an Orlanthi and the temple guardian spirits decided to let your attempt to steel temple ground go without note, then I wouldn't like to be in your shoes when you walk into any but the friendliest temple with consecrated ground in your body. And of course if they did take offence at your theft of temple ground, then even though they are restricted to the temple they can follow you 'cos you have the temple or at least part of it in you.
