Part of a collab with @billsboo to accompany their piece, "Linguam Loqui Prohibere", for the Devil's Den Zine. You can find the piece in full (with some silly marginalia) HERE on Ao3, and find the full zine here: desktop, mobile.

hello! does the MC being pious have advantages later on in the story?

Hi! I’m having some issues with my chronic illness so I’m sorry if this isn’t as detailed or coherent as I would prefer lol (It’s made me slow down a bit with asks as well, but I’ll get to them! ♡)

Piety is connected to divine magic, which devout clergy members utilize. It allows them to infuse divine magic into alchemy (destiny/inhibiting elixirs) and reveal Brakkus’ Mark and the Affinity attributed to it (if it has awakened). It can also give them minor healing and brief impressions of a near future. Nothing as powerful or detailed as it is with light affinities, but something.

If MC has high piety, they’ll experience those impressions on occasion (they’ll also refer to the Gods more in general). Mini spoilers on how it’s occurred in-game below so far:

Light affinities get one of two visions prior to the Lysto mission. Either of the insurgent wrapping their hand around their neck, or of Anle’s presence at the banquet. This is in a detailed vision long before the day. The vision regarding Anle will allow a light affinity to sense and turn around in time to view Anle’s entire (spooky) arrival on the balcony.

If MC has high piety, while they won’t have a vision, they will feel Anle’s arrival soon enough that they’ll notice the tail end of their entrance.
