I let the players keep them. Its KNOWLEDGE, afterall (except for the charms). You know how you use it - you just don't. But if you do, you lose your concentration instantly and, of course, you have to both reconcentrate and explain to your local priest or shaman or orderly why you've been burping flames again.

I disagree with the extreme attitude you take on devotees. Perhaps you mean disciples?
