The '''Devotion''' skill is derived from ancient rites of the [[Church]] and is used by members of the [[Priest]] and [[Paladin]] [[classes]]. To use the skills of Devotion against the forces of Good or for the benefit Evil puts such practitioners in danger of [[excommunication]], which effectively strips these Devotion users of their power to restore [[devotion (statistic)|devotion]].
Devotion is arguably the personal hallmark of the [[Bloodsworn_Gods|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 Paladin may damn the eternal soul of their foe, while the priest enacts a holy inquisition to ensure that the enemies of Good are duly punished for their crimes.


===Abilities in Devotion===
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.
:''Fervour and Damnation are Paladin-only abilities.''
:''Penitence and Inquisition are Priest-only abilities.''

[[devotion (statistic)|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 '''Devotion''' skill is available to the [[Paladin]] and [[Priest]] [[classes]]. Paladins also practise the skills of Weaponmastery and Chivalry, while Priests also have the skills of [[Spirituality]] and [[Zeal]].

adventurer, this will reveal their devotion levels if they have access to the Light. It will also

| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
: '''Known:''' Yes
 
: '''Syntax:'''            BLOODSWEAR <priest or paladin>
::: BLOODSWORN ON/OFF
::: BLOODSWORN REJECT
 
: '''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 70%  
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. Note that this ability will not work in
Arenas.
