I re-loaded a bunch of times as well, but ended up taking my second try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
If you quick save after the sacrifice, but before identifying the holy item (running your mouse over it or hitting alt), you can hover your mouse over it and repeatedly quick load. Save after getting a possibility with whatever you are looking for (max damage, frost, etc.), then continue quick loading, if desired. I got;
Nobleman's Sword
Durability 12
Charm Quality 3
Damage 71-100
2 Strength
4 Agility
6 Constitution
60 Magic
Life Drain(4)
