Devotion is the measure of a cleric's link with their god. As the link with their god increases, they gain advantages with their magic, most noticeably power perception. Furthermore, devotion can be considered a pool from which the cleric communes draw from. Devotion is increased by doing tasks to seek favor with your god and to show that you are devout. (Some of these ways are listed below and a great deal more are not.) Devotion is lowered by the perceiving of items, performing communes and even the casting of some spells. It is certainly in your best interest to keep your devotion as high as possible.
