>Gods are made of mana, like humans are made of matter.

Does this sound too scientific for fantasy?

>>Gods are made of mana
Can you eat them?
>>
THEIR MIDICHLORIANS ARE OFF DA CHARTS
>>
>>51763272
Sounds like it's way to easy to kill Gods once someone learns to store and absorb vast quantities of magic.
>>
Sounds fine depending on the other metaphysics of the setting.
>>
>>51763272
no
>>
>>51763272
No, but it makes they way to easy to kill and manipulate.
>>
>>51763294
If it were that easy there wouldn't be any gods. Or one god would eat all the others. Therefore, it's next to impossible to do it in that setting.
>>
>>51763272
Here are my questions: Why is this relevant in your setting? Who discovered this, and how did they do so?
>>
>>51763272
Why do you ask? They have to be made of something.

Fate/Extella, anyone?

Can I siphon off of their existence to cast more powerful fireballs?

See >>51764068

The big bad ayylmaos in the game do exactly that.
>>
>>51763272
Use different terms.

I quite liked Salt and Sanctuary where gods were born of Fire, and humans were born of Salt.
>>
>>51763272
No.

If anything, it is too dry a concept/description to evoke something, specially science.

Godbusters?

>>51767225
Salty gets a whole new meaning.
>>
>>51763272
Well why not. If you think about it the Chaos gods in Warhammer are born from the raw stuff of Chaos. The same infinite potential of the immaterium that fuels spells and magic so in a sense they are made out of magic. But here comes the tricky part what is the definition of mana in your setting?
>>
>>51763272
And what about the non-bread gods?
Is the god of war okay with being made of bread? Is that why he's always angry?
