Divine Patron

Cost: 15 SP

You will be connected to a benevolent higher being, with personality, tenets, gender, and appearance, up to you- as such things are easy enough to humor you with.

They will select you as their champion and leader, entrusting you with the task of spreading their religion throughout the world.

As their champion, your mind will enter into the realm of the deity every time you fall asleep or request to be there while awake. They need your presence to act in the mortal world, conveying messages and energies through you.

The more followers they gain through worship, the stronger their influence. With enough people devoted to their cause, they can perform small miracles to protect and aid those loyal to their religion. The worship of an entire town will be enough to ward off an endbringer, while 90% of the population worshiping them could even take down an entity like Scion.

Spark of Divinity

Your patron knew you'd eventually try to copy them, it's only natural for a human to attempt to harness the power of a god. As such they've granted you a blessing such that you won't break under the strain of their power, and allow you to benefit one another more closely.

You've become the slightest bit divine, allowing you to synchronize with your patron more easily, and increasing the power of miracles they perform through you. Further, your status as a human who is linked to them has enhanced their ability to gather worship, as now any form of "worship" for either them or you can be harnessed.

Hero worship directed at you, devotion to causes you lead, and similar forms of faith will still produce usable faith for your patron despite not technically being linked to their religion, although the amount produced is lesser compared to direct devotion to the religion.
