Devotion (skill)

This page is about the Devotion skill. For other uses, see Devotion (disambiguation).

Devotion is arguably the personal hallmark of the Bloodsworn servants and arms the Priest and Paladin with many tools with which to fight the enemies of truth and righteousness. Through the power of their faith a priest may enact a holy inquisition to ensure that the enemies of Good are duly punished for their crimes.

Devotion also offers access to the holy rites, a large group of offensive and defensive tools that can not only offer visions of hell to their foe, pacify the chaotic, summon forth demons and dazzling light to torment their opponent, but can also revitalise allies, resurrect fellow believers, and swear the blood oath to create a powerful bond.

Devotion is considered a resource and can be gained passively on a daily basis or by immolating the corpses of the fallen in the Flame of Yggdrasil, snatching souls from the harrowing journey to the Finality.

The skill of Devotion is available to the Priest class. Priests also have the skills of Spirituality and Zeal.

Bloodsworn	Bond with another via a blood oath.	Lessons: 1736
Syntax:	BLOODSWEAR <priest or paladin> BLOODSWORN ON/OFF BLOODSWORN REJECT
Required:	Bloodswear <target>: 1000 mana Bloodswear on: 1000 mana, 5 mana per second drain
Channels:	{{{channels}}}
Shapes:	{{{shapes}}}
Transitions:	{{{transitions}}}
Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:	Adventurers and self
Cooldown:	Bloodswear on: 6.00 seconds of equilibrium
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	The bond of the bloodsworn is one of the most revered rituals of devotion-users. When a Priest and a Paladin feel strongly that they wish to become one, they bloodswear to each other, and from that moment on, have the capability to bond their very souls to each other. When the BLOODSWORN ON ritual is performed by both the Priest and the Paladin, their maximum health and manas will be 65% of the -sum- of both their normal maximum health and maximum mana respectively. Further, some portion of the health or mana healed by either the Priest or Paladin, when using elixirs of health or mana, will also be healed on his or her bloodsworn. The hands ability shall also heal an additional amount when performed on your bloodsworn. The bloodsworn ability will automatically turn off if the Priest and Paladin are away from each other for greater than approximately 60 seconds. As with many phenomena that grant great power unto the user, the power of the bloodsworn comes at a price. While the bloodsworn pact is activated, with BLOODSWORN ON, the mana of both the Priest and Paladin will drain away. Further, and far more seriously, if either dies while the ability is active, the other will be critically damaged in body. Such is the price of power. If you wish to break your blood bond, you may do so by rejecting your bloodsworn, but be aware that you will not be able to become bloodsworn to another until the New Year.
