Here's an extract from some old rec.games.pbm traffic:

mark of gods:
+2 Priest levels, +3 Infl., +2 Prestige, +some other bonuses for priests.
a character who wants to get the status of a halfgod must have this mark
plus some other requirements.
mark of magic:
+15 Spell points regeneration, +3 Infl., +2 Prestige
mark of evil:
+3 Infl., +2 Prestige, changes some stats
mark of might:
+2 str, +2 dex, +2 PC, +3 Infl., +2 Prestige
mark of honor:
+3 Infl., +2 Prestige +...
mark of fate
+3 Infl., +2 Prestige +...

Marks and your deadly enemy:
magic:
he does not recover SP
evil:
he gets pestilence
might:
he gets a level 8 curse every production
honor:
he gets 5% wounded each production
fate:
he gets lesser pestilence

So it all looks a bit hazy at the moment. I'll let you know the exact stats
for each mark when I've picked up one of each :-).
