@dog if i get into rs it's because of this

@multiocular on one hand: the skill itself is a little boring to train most of the time and it takes a while to train

on the other hand, its contextualised as gathering the memories of a dead god and transmuting them into magical products and, after unlocking invention, divine energy that can power machines and augmented weapons

@dog oh that fucks i love any scenario where i can just sort of fourier the metaphysical properties of deities into parsable information

@multiocular oh then you'll love runescape lore. a pretty strong theme of it is that gods gain power more from their implements and experience than any inherent power and because of this their power is not only explainable but attainable and defeatable if you can seize it

@multiocular (there are two ways to become a god: you gain an elder artifact of which there are like, 12, or you kill another god)
