AI summary
Makes you a God — a minor one for now, but carrying the spark to one day match the Skyfathers and perhaps eventually make even the Primordials uneasy — ageless and eternal, halting at your prime unless you choose otherwise and untroubled by age thereafter. You are as beautiful as Helen of Troy, the subject of hymns from gods of music and poetry, graceful and striking in whatever you wear, and your mind far exceeds a mortal's, recalling every memory as though it had just happened while allowing selective forgetting; your might can shatter a mountain range with a punch and your durability matches it, so you are no glass cannon. All gods are connected as a conceptual part of reality, letting them draw on its nature to manipulate existence through what is called an Authority — a normal god holds two, a Major God or Skyfather three — and you can gain further Authorities either by truly understanding a concept and rising in rank, or by the riskier route of Myth, also known as Conceptual Weight, which can change you fundamentally.

Description
All hail Anon, for you have entered the realm of the Divine. You have consumed the distilled essence of a God.
Effects
8You are now a God, a minor one, and yet within you is the spark to one day reach the strength of the Skyfathers, and perhaps even the Primordials may one day feel a shiver when they hear your name, Anon.
As a God, you are ageless and eternal. You will not age after your prime unless you want to; if you do, then the effects of old age will no longer be of concern.
You are as beautiful as Helen of Troy. Gods of Music & Poetry write countless hymns dedicated to your beauty. You are graceful and look amazing in whatever you wear, be it an amazing dress woven by the Fates or even rags of a mortal. A glance at you is enough to leave most everyone smitten, unable to resist looking at you. Even your scent is addicting. You are always clean and refreshed, and so is everyone around you. You always look your best even if you've been in grueling battle for months. Not even a single strand of hair will be out of place, looking as perfect as you always do. And as a final protection, a 'no' from you will always be accepted without any bitter feelings or anger towards you. At any point, you may lessen the effects of this particular boon and increase them whenever you wish.
As a God, your mind is far better than that of an ordinary mortal. You will always remember every single memory that you have experienced as if it had just happened, though you may selectively have memories 'fade'. Your skill with your various abilities and instincts will not fade over time. Your mind is capable of matching with geniuses such as Tony Stark, Reed Richards, etc. And, as a final parting gift, you will never feel tired of life. Every single experience will feel as if it was your first time, the joy of finishing a quest will always feel as satisfying as the first time even if it is the billionth quest you've finished.
And then there is your might, Anon. You are capable of shattering a range of mountains with a mere punch and someone of your might can't be a glass-canon as such your durable enough to take blows enough to shatter a planet and come out relatively unscathed bar a couple of bruises and you're capable of movement nearing the speed of light with your divinity protecting you and others around you from the consequences of your abilities such as your might killing your allies or burning the world as you run, and are capable of reacting to things even faster than light.
All Gods are connected as a conceptual part of reality and existence as a whole, allowing them to call upon its nature and understanding to manipulate the very fabric of existence that is known as an [Authority]. Allow me to tell you that all [Authority] are equal even if they may not look like it. Let us take Time & Mirror as an example just by the name. It would seem as if dominion over Time would be superior to dominion over Mirror but what is time when you could merely mirror the ability of Time Control. The things that can be performed with an [Authority] are merely restricted by your imagination alone. As a Minor God: You may select a single [Authority].
You may in the future gain more [Authority] by truly understanding a concept and thus increasing your rank. A normal God holds dominion over two [Authority] and a Major God or a Skyfather holds three [Authority]. To truly understand a concept you must understand what it truly is and what all it represents and learn to imbue said concept with your Divine Essence, a tedious and difficult task.
Alternatively you may choose the riskier path of gaining [Authority] through Myth, also known as Conceptual Weight. Gaining [Authority] through Myth can change you on a fundamental level. If you are throwing around your strength and subjecting people you may gain the [Authority] of Conquest and yet that might result in you becoming more and more bloodthirsty wanting more Conquest even if that isn't what you meant to happen originally. You wouldn't want to end up like the Greeks & the Romans after all, do you Anon?
