I'd allow it. In-game, it makes good sense.

In meta-gaming terms, it means that any initiate can have any feat, as long as the player can think on their feet and explain in the real-world minute before they use it who this Devotee is who created it, and how they know them. Which, again in meta-gaming terms, removes most of the advantages of being a Devotee.

I don't see an easy solution to this, other than having reasonable players who don't try that sort of thing.
