Version 0.31: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Invocations denotes how skillful your character is at beseeching a deity for help. It improves the power and/or success rate of most god-given powers. (For some gods, piety also has this effect.)

Invocations also increases your maximum MP, but does not stack with Spellcasting and is only half as effective.
