[Your life form has been greatly elevated and is advancing toward transcendence beyond matter. You have gained the demigod abilities Divine Sense, Faithful Prayer, and Divine Gift.]

Divine Sense: A demigod can use believers as a medium to learn of all observable events occurring around them.

Faithful Prayer: Demigods are often called "deities" by ignorant mortals. During the Second Era, many demigods who walked the earth received the worship of numerous believers. You can receive your believers' prayers, gain Faith Power from them, and grant a certain degree of response.

Divine Gift: Using faith as a bond, you can expend divine power to grant your believers divine spells and blessings of up to the second circle.

Keosius stared at the information on the panel and could not help complaining.
