Essence of theChampion (Pantheon of Pleasure CYOA)

This Essence tastes exquisite. It tastes like whatever the imbiber imagines ambrosia would taste like, morphing its tastes to suit the palate of whoever drinks it.

• By drinking this Essence, you gain all of the gifts, boons, and aspects that come with being the champion of one of the major deities of the Blasted Lands. These deities are Agana, the primordial goddess of flames, Malok the god of madness and domination, Arina the goddess of chastity, Vera the goddess of seduction, Varo the god of pleasure, Tharon god of perversion, Helera goddess of provenance, and Felicia goddess of the wilds.

• You can also select one school of magic to be an undisputed master of. In The Blasted Lands these schools of magic include eromancy, hydromancy, pyromancy, biomancy, necromancy, animancy, luxomancy, umbramancy, hemomancy, astrapomancy, and othermancy. You gain an immensely large replenishing font of mana to use to cast spells related to your school.

• You can, if you wish, be transported to The Blasted Lands, or you can imbibe this Essence and remain in whatever world you wish to remain in.

• If you faithfully serve the deity of your choice, you may start a cult to that deity and once the cult grows large enough the deity will take notice and telepathically inform you of a ritual that, if performed, will open a permanent portal to the realm of that deity and either the Blasted Lands or another world of your choice where you can go and continue to perform good works in the name of your god.

• You do not have to serve the deity whose powers you draw on, but if you do not its followers will be interested in converting you to the service of that god or goddess, but the god himself will be indifferent to you (though how that manifests is up to the god in question, as some deities wish to dominate and enslave or impregnate everything not loyal to them).

• You can also serve other deities, who will be immensely interested in how you have powers associated with one of their rivals, foes, peers, or allies and yet are serving them.

• You gain a sparked soul that is capable of natural talent in all schools of magic however to manifest this you will need either tutors or an incredible number of years to master each school of magic by yourself. You can cast any beginner spells.

• You can also pledge yourself to Lucira, allowing you to experience the sanity-shattering bliss she inflicts on those depraved enough to pledge themselves to her.
