Just a thunk... Temple rituals on holy days are kind of hero-questy, right? The temple becomes an extension of the God Plane, the priest embodies the god, all of that? So wouldn't it be plausible for a character to wait until the next Holy Day and petition the god directly? (In essence, this would be "heroquest for the gift", like y'all say--but it's a nice, safe, easy heroquest, which your character has already done dozens of times.)
