Rules

Devotional Resonance originates in your dedication to a cause, belief, god, ethic, or society… and, in turn, reflects and reinforces that dedication. Faith, honor and integrity fuel this sort of energy… but so do fanaticism, intolerance and obsession.

As with all forms of Resonance, Devotional energies re­ flect activity – spells, behavior, attitude, and so on. A person can believe in something and yet not act upon those beliefs. Devotional Resonance, however, echoes the ways in which a character pursues those beliefs: The kind man whose faith inspires acts of charity and good will; the honorable woman whose ethics inform courage in the face of adversity; the patriot whose love of country makes him a veritable Captain America… or a Nuke. For devotion, of course, can become a terrible thing – the fuel of crusades, terrorism, bigotry, and hate – when a person invests energy in a potentially dangerous belief.

For obvious reasons, Devotional Resonance needs an obvi­ ous foundation. If you choose this flavor of Resonance, make sure that you define and play out your character’s convictions.
