Interesting implications here. How'd you figure it's a Cosmic ability?

My first thought here is that this implies the existence of a Divine ability that helps Resonance without making it perfect- say,

Divine Progenitor (Divine ability)
You can imbue lesser creatures with divinity more easily than most immortals.
Prerequisites: CHA 40
Benefit: Your granting of Resonance is 10% more efficient than normal. For example, a deity that has taken this ability twice allows the subject of a Quintessence transfer to gain 30% of the amount sacrificed, rather than 10%.
Special: This ability may be gained multiple times, and stacks with itself.

Might this be something that the "parents" of a pantheon often have? That is to say, those who purportedly give birth to the other deities in the group in the "beginning times" of the mythology? A pantheon which has it written into the myths that mortals can ascend might also have a deity whose specific purpose is to watch candidates for immortality and make sure that only the worthy ascend, and such a deity would very likely have this ability or something like it.
