Deity

Deities, more commonly referred to as gods, are powerful beings of pure magical energy. They operate on a level far above most witches and supernatural creatures. While the gods of myth can take an active part in human affairs, most choose not to, as humans are seen as being so far beneath them.

Deities come in many forms, as diverse as the humans who worship them, and can generally be characterized by their extreme intelligence, immortality, and vast magical ability. The power and complexity of magic a deity can perform appear to be nearly limitless. Though not yet expanded upon, it would appear as though gods possess a physical form that can be destroyed. However, due to the Treaty, deities must possess human bodies in order to manifest on Earth. It is shown that deities can imbue witches and even normal humans with their power, allowing them to cast spells of devastating magnitude. However, the effects of the boost wear off after an unspecified amount of time.

There are various kinds of gods and goddesses with different origins, though it can be inferred that their depictions in mythology are an embellishment of their true selves.

While most deities are born, it is possible for powerful witches to become a deity.

A binding ritual was created to trap deities within specially made talismans, as no method for killing or defending oneself against a deity currently exists. Most deities can be sealed away, but some have been able to escape them.

Those turned into deities display a vastly increased capability for magic and a deeper and more profound understanding of the functions and hierarchies of the universe and many rules of magic than even the most powerful witches.
