Yes, absolutely. The difference between an initiate and a devotee is that the devotee can then pay 1 HP and be able to use the "gout of fire" feat without improv penalties. Whn a devotee gets to the point where -3 or -5 means diddly to him, he can stop paying the HP to cement feats. - he is truely becoming a Hero to be reckoned with.

He has a generic "Fly" affinity that does just that.
