The more god-like they character becomes, the more they absolutely would need to be able to multi-task in a way that the human just can't. Are you dealing with a superhuman immortal, who like Thor despite his vast prowess is still basically just human in mental prowess, or are you dealing with something that is strikingly deific? If the former, you can probably game it. If the later, then you probably can't.The other issue you are going to run into is that if you don't silo the abilities, then you don't have a social game, because no one is dependent on anyone for anything else.  That is, in something like a Marvel movie, Thor needs Heimdel and can usefully partner with Loki, and even forms useful partnerships with mortals that have skills he doesn't have.   But a Thor that has access to basically the whole of the mortal magic list at will, has very little need to partner with anyone else.</blockquote>
