Demigod Changes

Demipowers are in! Drawing the endgame review to a close, demigods,
titans and Ascendants will find a few major changes for themselves!

o The shrink/expand abilities have been removed from a titan, as has the
ability to REFRESH.
o Demigods and Ascendants only have the inherent +1 stats they get at
titans, and the ability to ASCEND TO HAVENS.
o As a note, Ascendants also have FLY and Clairsentience as inherent
abilities.
o Demigods and Ascendants now have access to the POWERS verb, which will
give them the ability to activate using their own essence.
o Ascendants have access to a wider variety of abilities - the nine
abilities Demigods have, as well as 3 additional abilities per domoth.
o For the Demigod Powers, the maximum 'weights' are as follows:
o Demigods: 50
o Vernal Demigods: 100
o Ascendants: 150

How it works:

o Malicia wants to zap the infidels with one of our nifty pre-set zaps.
Malicia would use POWERS SELECT CHOICEZAP <EPHEMERAL|SUPERNUMERARY>
o Ephemeral means the ability will decay in 12 RL days, or roughly 1 IG
year.
o Supernumerary means it will use her 'weight' (along with the usual
essence cost), meaning it is *permanent* unless she removes it. Should
she remove it, there is no refund.
o Malicia and POWERS INFO CHOICEZAP to see a short blurb about it and
how to use it.
o Malicia can also use POWERS SET to see what of her powers she has
selected she can modify.

Pretty simple!

Along with this, there is a special power available ONLY to Avatars. It
has a heavy essence cost, and NO weight, and must be purchased as a
supernumerary power. Once it is purchased, it is permanent. This is
called 'Veneration', and is a skillset devoted entirely to forming a
cult to an aspect of an Elder God, and venerating that aspect fully.

Please note that all of Veneration's skills are not in yet, but they
will be added over the coming days and weeks!

Also, as a third and final point, city leaders may now vote to descend
an Ascendant, which works just as Ascending does. CITY PRIVS lists the
relevant commands for those who need it.

Enjoy!
