Essence ofa God

By drinking this golden Essence, you become a god.

• You are ageless, your form will shift to match your desires over time. Unlike other gods your condition will rise to the best its been each time you sleep, by default recovering by 10% for each hour, meaning all the spend divine energy, faith, and whatnot will return to the maximum amount you had after a mere 10 hours, or faster if you aren't utterly spent and a step away from the death's door. You also can hide the fact that you are a god perfectly, none can see you as anything but what you should be unless you purposefully come out to reveal it, though they might consider you something more if you repeatedly commit acts above the mortal limit in a short while.

• As a being of legend your actions will echo in the minds of mortals, spreading as stories and tales. This means you won't have much of a privacy as anything worth noting will be known far and wide soon enough, though it might not be matched with you consciously if you prefer to put distance with your divine identity, you also gain power from the mortals' beliefs and faith towards you. You can manipulate this to an extent, such as hitting the eye of a sparrow, and becoming a better marksman, even if the sparrow was caged and you shot it from point blank. Or if you act heroic then you will have an aura of heroism, making maidens blush, the innocent trust you more, and villains get terrified at the sight of you. The strength you gain from belief depends on your proximity to your believers, so if you go to a desert as a water god, and your people are all on an island far away, then you might not be able to bring forth a rain unless you have something other than just their belief powering your capability. You can also have multiple identities, however in that case your enhancements will be tied to those identities, if one of your identities is a water god and another is fire god, then you won't be able to utilize your water capabilities when taking on the mantle of fire god.

• As a god your deeds have more weight to them than others', if you push a broken-down car then it will require less fuel next time it drives. If you clean a window then dirt will be repelled from it. If you blow on someone's cold fingers then the heat from your breath will linger far longer than normal. This 'weight' also extends to your training, each inhale done with the idea of expanding your lung capacity actually increasing it rather than hitting any sort of limit. And social and conceptual actions aren't out of your reach either, giving money to the homeless everyday will slowly see them rising up in status, until there is no homeless, or speaking out against oppression will make the oppressors' hold weaken. As your capabilities grow in certain areas, your deeds will gain additional effects. A god of gold will find more success gambling than a god of wind, due to the former's closer connection to the concept of wealth. A god of fame will find it harder to hide than a god of light. While there are titles, like 'god of XXX', in reality a god's capability isn't limited, they can be perfect at everything, but then you get to the problem of 'jack of all trades, master of none'. A god who focuses only on one area will be stronger in that area than any other, and while they can train to be better in other areas, a certain domain might suit them too well so that they might forsake others in favor of focusing on their favorite ones. Maybe to the point of becoming worse at the domains that oppose their favored one. Yet still a god of pleasure loves their domain, just as a god of sadness loves their domain too, but just because they love their domain does not mean they do not have anything else going for them, the former might be a great cook because they find pleasure in cooking, while latter might be an incredible psychologist. Or the former might be capable of healing while the latter is capable of necromancy. Anything is possible for a god.

• Same with your deeds, your creations are similarly more important. A painting by you might not be the best at first, but as you grow your skill your past work might become similarly better to reflect your current capability, or it might develop certain supernatural effects depending on your domains. A god of fire's drawing of the sun will give off heat. A thieving god's painting could give inspiration on how to steal hearts as well as attention. An instrument made by a god of knowledge might make the listeners reach conclusions and connections that they never would've if they hadn't been around when the instrument was being played. This growth also happens when you use items not made by you, a bed you regularly sleep in might put people to sleep the moment they touch it, or a shower might be able to perfectly clean the user in a snap even if they don't use any shampoo. It depends on your use and feelings, your divine aura sinks into your surroundings as you utilize them.

• As a god you are more than a mere mortal, so the true extent of your being and capabilities cannot be measured or described by mortals, you can be as great as your ego allows, or as weak as you feel like. However, if you try to fit into a pose your being cannot fill yet then you will feel the drain on your reserves, eventually forcing you to deflate back to your normal or fall asleep to restore your energies back to full.
