I'm working on a novel that heavily involves the death of a particular god. I'm trying to make a system that explains why gods are not all powerful, and how they rise/fall in power and how they can die. The following is what I have so far in my notes:
"As the Eien became so dense with spiritual energy, some of the souls were able to take physical form in the spirit realm. These homunculi of spirits became sentient in a way similar to mortals and, by using a large portion of their own spiritual power, could exert their own presence upon the mortal lands. Due to their incredible power when compared to normal humans, these beings are referred to as Gods. "
Eien is the collective sum of humanity's spirits.
So, any ideas?
