1) Faith
is the Primary Trait, and Affinity is generally equal to Faith for sentient beings. |
|

|
Note:
Although this does mean that those with high faith in a deity would ordinarily be harder
to affect, all deific Origins allow the faithful to Invite the power of the
deity, reducing their affinity. Some deific Origins also mandate power over the
faithful, allowing adepts to lower the affinity and bypass the passive resistance of those
who have met the conditions of faith for that deity. |

2)
Availability Level is equal to Domain Relevance.
Adepts will generally be better able to access the power of their deity when they are in a
situation with higher domain relevance. Note that domain relevance for the purpose
of accessing Omnessence may be different than domain relevance for the purpose of casting
an effect. |

3)
Access to Omnessence is Restricted, based on the philosophical condition
that the adept must have received a True Calling to the service of the deity, and that the
adept have a Faith attribute with that deity (or pantheon, in some cases) as the object.
The adept must also meet the spiritual condition of being in a state of
appropriate favor with the deity, and using the method of prayer or supplication specified
by the deity. Although the degree of ceremony required may vary from deity to deity,
the condition must be met by adepts of all deities. |

4) The
Omnessence Nature of the Origin is Dynamic (Interpreted). The deity may
always choose to restrict or alter the specifics of a given effect to suit his or her
will. |
|
|
|
|
|
5)
Casting an effect requires the adept to meet the same spiritual condition as for accessing
the Omnessence. In most cases this is essentially a technical point, since most
deific Origins do not allow Omnessence to be stored, and therefore the adept must access
the Omnessence immediately before using it. However, some deities do allow
Omnessence to be stored, and in such cases using that Omnessence requires the same
spiritual condition as for access. |
