Worshiping at the altar will reduce your health to 1, mana to 0, poison and mana burn you, give you 1 weakening and 1 corrosion. It will also cause an "Essence Potion" to appear. This potion will heal you for the amount of health the altar took and restore mana for the amount of mana the altar burned off.
 If you don't want the Essence Potion, you can just barely get the Fortitude Potion, Burn Salve, Translocation Scroll and Whupaz.  A successful run should look like this:<br>
