A vision observed by Cori showed that Devotion was created by Grand Magnificent, who wanted to create something that would be completely helpful rather than harmful. However, an unknown intervention by the Curtain at the beginning of the Perfect Millennium interfered with Devotion in some way.[1]
Abilities
Devotion can create mirage bombs which expand the Twilight Mirage.
It drains the life force from its cult members over time, using it to empower itself. It is also able to speak to some of its followers through their blood, send them visions, synchronize their pulses, and transport them to strange places.

The life force-draining ability is harnessed intentionally by Devotee soldiers who pilot mechs powered by Devotion, such as the Chariot Mk. 2 or the Cataphract. At their pilots' command, these mechs can drain blood in order to go into an overdrive or berserker mode.[2]
Devotion has empowered some, like Coriolis Sunset, physically transforming them in the process. These followers must follow Devotion's precepts or risk Devotion taking back their special abilities.
