Devotion is the core expression of a Luminary's devout faith, an art by which life essence is shaped through both worship and magical principle. Using this powerful force, the Luminary is capable of performing all manner of miraculous works: blessings, rites, and even terrible curses against the Darkness lie beneath its purview. The greatest of its feats - famously attested in the tale of Syvelium - is the resurrection of the dead.
