[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 592129, member: 7172"] EDIT: This discussion is changing slowly into a widening discussion of mechanics on ascension and the morality of this process (and how some go about it). Read on down through the discussion so far! :D Now -- take this situation into account before answering the question: The world in question does not have gods, and as far as can be ascertained, there have never been gods save the two that created the world. These gods destroyed one another at the creation of the world, and their mingled essences (as they were opposites) are what created life as it mingled with the world itself. One of the gods was a god of creation, and the other a god of destruction. There was also a catasphoric event in the history of this world that brought into existence for a moment the essence of the original god of destruction, and that moment damaged the magical fabric of this world. This may have also damaged the fabric which supports divine beings. In general -- What could make one divine? Is it worshippers? Is it a divine spark? Given even circumstances, what do most people think a mortal would need to ascend? Given the situation above -- how might one repair the damage to the fabric of the world? Would you require something extra from people in this world who wanted to somehow become divine above what would be required of people in a normal setting? [/QUOTE]
