Would this allow people to convert the minetown altar, while they are
outside the temple?  For example, could I place a potion of blood on
the minetown altar, walk outside of the temple, zap the potion with a
wand of striking, and have the minetown altar be converted from the
potion smashing on the altar?

The reason to why I ask this, is because in regular Nethack, if you
convert the minetown altar, then you are allowed to kill the minetown
priest without angering the minetown guards.  And it is a lot safer to
convert the altar if you are outside of the temple.
