We tend to call it "Devotee of <deity>".
Which is probably a mistake on our part, too, but that's the way we tend to RP the Devotee ability. Maybe this is actually a separate skill/flaw that ought to be part of the Devotee keyword? Erm... "be possessed by <deity>"? The whole point is that you don't get to use this by (character) choice, it happens *to* you.
One of the Swords group with a high Devotee skill tends to "channel" Kargan like that, and all the Humakti around him think he's pretty terrifying. If he goes glazed and starts ranting, we all step back a few yards, just in case.
