Invocations
Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
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 is only half as effective at doing so as training Spellcasting.
