Devotion

From Sanctuary Shard

Revision as of 15:55, 14 June 2020 by Baene (talk | contribs) (Spells)

Devotion, which was called Chivalry on UO, allows a fighter such as a Swordsman to utilize a limited set of spells that would not be feasible with Magery.

Overview

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.

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.

Training

Like all training on Sanctuary, you can train Devotion up using any spell, regardless of difficulty.

Spells

Devotion Spells manifest the 10 magic abilities of Paladins. As with Magery, Mysticism, Necromancy, and Spellweaving, a spellbook specific to the dicipline 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.

As of the update for Devotion on 9/16/19 all spell costs have been switched from using Mana to using Stamina.

Holy Light
Augus Luminos
10 0 10 20s Holy light sets up a beacon that draws monsters in range from 3-6 tiles depending on Devotion skill causing the monster to change targets to the Paladin and move in their direction. When Holy Light is used on a player it will changes the players target to the paladin, as well as cause a spell interruption. Players can reset their target, obviously, but it they don't this will then cause the next attack or spell to be directed at the paladin regardless of distance. Only applies to enemy guild members or your current aggressor list. Shield must be equipped to use.


Cleanse by Fire
Expor Flamus

Noble Sacrifice

Enemy of One
Forul Solum
20 100 10 For the duration, caster deals 50% more melee damage towards a monster and all other monsters of its type (e.g. all ettins), but everything else (e.g. everything but ettins) deals double damage to caster. The currently affected monster type will display orange when targeted. Higher karma extends the duration. It can be recast to cancel it. Higher Devotion raises the damage bonus up to +82% against monsters and +16% against players.
