Devotion Spells manifest the 10 magic abilities of Paladins.

And like all spells, Words of Power are invoked. In this instance, the Paladin's spellbook is the Book of Devotion. They can be purchased from a [[Master NPC]].

Devotion is a melee support skill that provides improved tanking and parry abilities.

Using

Devotion skills require a Book of Devotion in the caster's inventory and consume stamina as well as their exclusive resource, Tithing Points (see below.) Their rate of success is determined by the Devotion skill, while the power and duration of their effects is based on the caster's karma -- higher karma is better.

  • Devotion uses stamina and can be used with weapons equipped.

Cooldowns

Devotion spells have the concept of cooldowns. The spells have very short cast times, but they have a cool down which stops the player from being able to cast that spell again for a period of time. The spell icons in the client will display as red, and show a countdown to when they can be used again.
Please Note
This skill has not been reviewed for PvP. Portions of this skill may not work in PvP. Ultimately, there will be an overall check of PvP, but that is many months off when more of the skills under development are complete.

Tithing Points

Devotion spells consume Tithing Points, which can only be restored by donating gold to ankhs. These must be functional ankhs at which a player can resurrect.

One gold will provide one Tithing Point, and Devotion spells generally consume 10~20 per cast. A character may hold up to 100,000 Tithing Points at one time -- any further donations will be refunded to the backpack.

Spells

Devotion Spells manifest the 10 magic abilities of Paladins. As with Magery, Mysticism, Necromancy, and Spellweaving, a spellbook specific to the discipline must be in the first level of a character's backpack for the applicable spell to be cast. And like all spells, Words of Power are invoked. In this instance, the Paladin's spellbook is the Book of Devotion. They can be purchased from a Master NPC.

Training

In addition, you can purchase limited training from NPCs as well as advanced " book skills" both of which are available on Master NPCs. Read More ..

  • Low skill levels can be trained by one of the Master NPCs.
  • The books for crafting book skills can be purchased at the Master NPCs.
  • Like all training on Sanctuary, you can train Devotion up using any spell, regardless of difficulty.
