Hm, since some people reserved their backup spheres, might I reserve Idealism and Subjectivity? If those are too broad to be greenlit, I'll go with Heroes and Villains.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Neither Idealism nor Subjectivity are too general for this, I think.

As you can see, one of your selected future spheres is already retroactively affecting me, creating a stable time loop ensuring that IcyTea31 retains Subjectivity.

Andres: Angels with Essence capacity can indeed receive Essence from targeted worship (i.e. explicitly worship the angel, lowering worship quality for the god slightly). Overloading within reason simply dissipates the Essence uselessly. Overloading to excess causes something interesting to happen, but not in a good way.

So do my angels have any Essence stored? A couple times I actually asked if they were getting any prayers, actually, but I get it got lost.

Nobody tell him. DreamerGhost, Stirk, I'm looking at you two. Also, patented by Andres/Yaos.

Can I ask exactly what the Lords of Hunger are? What race are they? What powers do they have?

I have a question about a new soul creation method. Basically, a sapient creature will naturally begin forming a soul at conception and the soul would finish forming once the creature becomes self-aware/sapient; 15-24 months for a Human, for example. Souls would only begin forming if a reincarnated soul is not available for the creature.
In theory, this should allow for all the reincarnation we have now but taking more than 5% of souls out of the cycle and into an afterlife would not reduce the amount of sapients being born. (Sorry if this isn't how it works. I have an awful memory.)
Now, would this system mess up the reincarnation system or decrease worship quality or Essence gain in any way? Keep in mind that souls in afterlives still cannot provide worship.

Finally, I have a question about attunements. The Armu were created with the Cosmic attunement. Does that mean that all magic-capable Armu are Cosmic attuned or that simply most of them are? Are some unattuned or attuned to an attunement other than Cosmic?
I'm guessing since most of my angels do not have attunements but are still capable of magic that not all mages are born with an attunement. Is that true?
Since I could've given my Psymental angel the Ritual attunement on top of his Psymental one, I'm guessing that mages have a chance of being born with multiple attunements. Is that true?
Is a non-attuned race (Humans, for instance) capable of producing mages with magical attunements?

Inconspicious as fuck.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Andres, I think that's how souls work already, but there are a small number of souls able to be formed.
Attunement makes the race either more likely to have mages of that type, or makes them better at that type of magic. It does not make an entire race of that type of mage.

And now, Serac bothers the mortals.

[gman8181]

"HoDo" huh? I don't get it.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Andres: The reincarnation system has not been determined exactly, but it's known that it's one where taking out too many souls negatively affects birth rates, possibly enough to offset the death rate and cause negative population growth.

Attunements are roughly what Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum said. They only make it easier to use the specified magic but don't actually make everyone mages.

[DreamerGhost]

We all know what will happen. Yaos angels will say Yaos is best. Fusil will say that all are morons and he is the best. God of goodness will go into an elaborate lecture as to why humingbird should stop this crap and go do something worthwile (and good). God of greed will throw out one remark why he is best and then ignore the bird. Rest of the gods will not bother to do even that.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Indeed, and the process of reaching the outcome will prove to be more entertaining for the instigator than the outcome itself.

Attunement makes the race either more likely to have mages of that type, or makes them better at that type of magic. It does not make an entire race of that type of mage.

Actually that's not really how it works. As it is, souls spawn at a rate of a 5% increase to reincarnated souls, allowing for a maximum population increase of 5% per something. The point being that souls spawn at a fixed rate. My proposal allows souls to naturally form as they are needed.

Attunements are roughly what Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum said. They only make it easier to use the specified magic but don't actually make everyone mages.

I know what attunements do and I know that giving a race an attunement does not make everyone mages. I was asking questions about having attunements as a mage. Not using them - just having them. Unfortunately, both your and Kaladin's responses answered none of my questions.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Andres: Re attunements: All of the Armu are Cosmically attuned. Attunement in this case and usage refers to an innate boost to Cosmic magic affecting all members of the target.

Not all mages are born with attunements. At this point, I believe all of the races have at least some mages, and most have no designed attunement.

Birth attunements for various races aren't really implemented at this point, but I would imagine most plausible systems would allow for multiple attunements. At this point, it's more of a nurture thing than a nature thing, with those interested in magic more likely to develop whatever skills they would naturally have.

There is something inheritantly amusing in situations where the guy suposed to put out the fires pours gasoline on them.

Remember what I told you about vampires waaaaaaaaaay back when? It is still true.

[Andres]

As a fair warning, if you end up ruling vampires or whatever, I will kill you. Wipe out all your servents, push you into the void, and laugh as the last of your evil essence drains away. You know I will, too. Fusil does not appreciate evil tainting his perfect followers, or putting them in any kind of danger.

Notice how I didn't say 'Patented by Andres/Yaos'. Creating vampires would be completely out of character for him assuming we're talking about classical vampires who are evil and stuff. He wouldn't do it anyway because immortals provide worse worship than mortals.
Really, I'm just designing them for fun. I'm still patenting them because they might be useful later on and I'm the god of Humans so I have reason to create vampires. (By vampires I mean like a non-evil, modern interpretation of the kind.)
Before you say 'Yaos is dead' or 'your god is dead' or 'you are dead', just keep in mind that Yaos' return is inevitable. Just look at his track record!
