| Devas are those lesser beings that serve the gods or devils, which are often called a deva's patron. These are typically referred to as angels, demons, and several other names; although they function the same. They gain their primal power from the deity they serve, but they can draw spiritual power from mortals. A deva acts as a conduit of spiritual, or aspectual, energy from the mortal plane to a primal being. These devas must have at small amount of primal energy encased in an elemental object, called a primal artifact, in order to accomplish this task. When both the deva and primal artifact are linked they can fully convert primal and spiritual energy. | Devas are those lesser beings that serve the gods or devils, which are often called a deva's patron.

| - | However, the primal artifact is keyed to the deity that created it, which limits the deva to converted to and from a specific deity only. In the same way because spiritual energy if born of belief and conviction the deva is limited in gathering only that spiritual energy that is directed towards them from mortal souls. As an example, an angel of mercy can gather forth energy from mortals asking for healing, but not those looking to strike down their enemies in cold blood. If that angel was carrying a scepter keyed to a deity known for joyous murder it doesn't matter because once the angel has gathered the spiritual energy it can use its primal artifact to convert it to primal energy and deliver it to the deity. | + | However, the primal artifact is keyed to the deity that created it, which limits the deva to converted to and from a specific deity only.
