All Ambrosial Energies

Ambrosial energies are the energies that power faith and the Divine.

Ambrosia

The energy of a mortal's faith in the Divine. When a mortal's will is given back to the Divine (or perhaps when a Divine's will accepts its creators' will?), it generates ambrosia, which can be invoked through means of prayer, devotion, dedication, sacrament, sacrifice, or other expressions of faith. Any and all faithful wield this energy, but the most common version of this is a lay believer.

Divine Will

The energy of a Divine's existence, paradox converted into the power to embody an aspect of all that is. This is the result of the creation of a Divinity. Only a Divinity may wield this power, though echoes of it are found in ambrosia.

Edayilu

The energy of a mortal's faith in a non-Divine being. When a mortal's faith is in a being who is not empowered by Divine Will nor in themselves as mortals, but in some being they perceive as Divine, the energy generated is edayilu, the "in between" ambrosial energy. The most common wielders of this energy are bandhangal, liaisons of faith. It is often perceived as ambrosia.

Karma

The energy of cosmic justice. The power of the universe to right itself. Comeuppance and kismet. None control karma. It is a concept embraced in some religions, but none know how to wield it or even see it, not even Divines. It simply is part of the wheel of reality.

The Law

An energy of ancient Divine will so powerful it defined how Divines could exist once. Now only extant in fragments, its power remains even if it is no longer obeyed. The fragments that remain of the Law are so potent they are suppressed by the living Divines. Common users include Lawcasters.

Likanisi

The energy of a mortal's belief in a concept, in their belief in a philosophical ideal, in their worship of something that is not a being. This is not simply a conviction, not simply a manifestation of will power, but a religious or spiritual belief in an idea. This is the power of faith in an idea or ideal that is not conceived as a being. It is often perceived as ambrosia as well. Common users are bandimi.

Mortal Will

The energy of a mortal's own determination, their will power, a reflection of Divine will or possibly the other way around, if some mortals are to be believed. It is never so powerful as when it refuses the supremacy of Divinity, and in that case, it becomes a potent force that may be wielded as faith is. Common users include the Guardians of Mortality.

Spirit Energy

The energy of what lingers after we die and our stories continue. The sentient remains of our faith, our beliefs, our thoughts, our experiences, our tales. Resonance of our being. Common users include spiritspeakers.
