What is mood as in the literary device?
Is it the feeling the reader feels from reading the piece or the mood created by (or intended by the author)? In many cases the mood could be one in the same, but their are cases when the author intends to create a particular mood, but because of his/her poor crafting or a reader’s personal experience, the reader feels something else that may be in opposition to mainstream, such as apathy instead of sadness, etc. Help settle this between me and someone else.

I think you answered your own question! “Mood” is not a literary device unless the author creates it and the reader gets it. If either the author cannot create the feeling of the right mood in the reader, or the reader is too inexperienced to be affected by even a well-created mood, then you may have an attempt at a literary device, but not success at one.

Because people vary in their life experiences, their receptiveness to an author’s intended or created mood depends upon how it is presented and how the reader interprets it. Since how the reader feels and the intended or created mood are both present when reading, both are necessary and provide input to the resultant mood.
