Congratualtions, you've discovered the the Secret of Humakt - his Death secret is a Mystic Strike. Which means that to do what you describe, you need to have w2 in all three affinities, be a devotee and pay 3 HP to learn the secret.

Not at all - if a Devotee has 12 in an affinity, and an initiate has 12 in the same affinity, then they do exactly the same thing when they invoke the same feat. However, an initiate has a 'cap' on his affinities of 10w2 while a Devotee has no such restriction. (and no, Initiates cannot get a Secret).
