While Herad was showing off in spectacular fashion, the moonlight above Oshu'gun's dome dimmed considerably.
Clearly, Elune had withdrawn her divine power.
Gods were supposedly omniscient and omnipotent, but they were not actually that incredible.
When believers prayed to their gods, as long as they flattered them well enough, the divine power they received was nothing to scoff at!

Those enormous purple pillars of light descending from the sky blasted the Burning Legion's demonic armies into utter chaos.
Even if Archimonde personally took the field, he could only drive her off the battlefield.
Killing Tyrande was certainly beyond him!
This power borrowed from Elune could sometimes fail.

If he actually made that request, a
