Invocations
Version 0.14: 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, save for the following:
- Ashenzari (uses piety)
- Gozag Ym Sagoz (uses gold)
- Jiyva (uses piety)
- Kikubaaqudgha (uses Necromancy)
- Nemelex (uses Evocations)
- Trog (uses piety)
- Vehumet (all benefits are passive)
- Xom (=^_^=)
Trog's, Kiku's, and Nemelex's, which are based entirely on Piety, Necromancy, and Evocations, respectively.
Invocations also increases your max MP, but the effect is not cumulative with Spellcasting.
