Proposal: More Powers, again
6-1. Reached Quorum. Popularity and Fana where found abusable by 3 or more Deities. Consider that I changed my vote to make no-realiable abusable also.—Chronos.

If Proposal: Strange Powers didn’t pass, this Proposal does nothing.
In the Powers rule, change
Deities start with no Powers, but may create a new Power by spending 1 Quintessence and constructing a new Power from a combination of the components listed below, and giving it a name of their choice. Each component has a Worship or a Might cost - a constructed power must have at least as much Worship as Might. If a Power uses any Global Might, it must also have at least as much Global Worship. A Power may only contain one instance of each component.

Deities start with no Powers, but may create a new Power by spending 1 Quintessence and constructing a new Power from a combination of the components listed below, and giving it a name of eir choice.
At any time, a Deity may modify a Power e eirself has created, by spending 1 Quintessence. A Power can only be modified by adding components to it.
Each component has a Worship or a Might cost - a Power being constructed or modified must have at least as much Worship as Might. If a Power uses any Global Might, it must also have at least as much Global Worship.
If a Power has a Component which gives a variable amount of Worship or Might, the balance condition between those amounts (Worship >= Might and Global Worship >= Global Might) must be true when the power is being used, instead of when it is being constructed.
A Power may only contain one instance of each component.
Add the following components to the list in that rule:
* Popularity: Power can only be used if the Deity doing so is the Godhead. (+15 Global Worship)
* Universal: This power can be used by any Deity, not only by the one who created it. (+5 Global Worship)
* Awe: Your people adores you. Power can only be used in a City where you have Worshippers. Figures X to the number of Worshippers you have in that city, divided by 100, rounded down - for example, both 1.01 and 1.99 are rounded to 1.00. (+X City Worship).
* Non-reliable: You must roll a DICE8 when trying to use this power. X is the result of that dice roll. Only usable if this Power is also either a Holy Day or a Festival. (+X Global Worship if it’s a Holy Day; + 3X Global Worship if it’s a Festival).
* Fana: X is the total number of Temples you have. (+X Global Worship).
* Transmorphing: You can change roles without spending any Quintessence (+50 Global Might).
* Channeling: You may transfer X Quintessence from a Deity to another. (+12X Global Might)
* Shapeshifting: When changing roles, you may change the ownership of X Temples from your previous Incarnation to your new one. Only one power with the Shapeshifting component may be used per change of role. (+18X Global Might)
As usual, voters on this proposal may list any Components they feel are abusable, along with their vote - if any Component is considered abusable by three or more Deities, it shall be removed from the list when this proposal is enacted.
Last try has failed for lacking of votes. I’m trying it again, having tunned down some of the powers people felt as abusable before.
A bit confusing with the Xs, but less so once we’re writing powers up - that Fana-Channeling would be “Transfer X/12 Quintessence from one Deity to another, where X is the number of Temples you control.”
I’m sorry Chronos, I just don’t like or understand many of these:
