Divinus Entia (Deities)

In this world of superheroes and magic users, the Divinus Entia, often referred to as "Gods," occupy a unique position in the cosmos. Their existence predates human understanding of magic, yet their influence seeps into every corner of existence, shaping the very fabric of mystical energy that heroes and villains alike wield in their battles.

The Origins of the Divinus Entia

The Divinus Entia are not merely creators but also conduits of magic itself. They are the primordial architects who birthed the first iteration of language and power—an archaic precursor to Latin, a dialect so potent that every word could bend reality. While Latin evolved into a mortal tool, the gods retained their original tongue, which still functions as a medium to shape existence.

This origin ties them intrinsically to magic, yet paradoxically, not every god wields magical potential. Some gods act as passive reservoirs of magic, emanating power that mortals and magic users draw upon unconsciously. Others are incapable of defending themselves against magic's effects, leaving them vulnerable to mortal manipulation or destruction.

Forms and Limits of the Divine

The Divinus Entia come in myriad forms:

1. Physical Manifestations: These gods are tangible, bound to forms that mimic mortal biology. They can be killed, though their immense durability and latent magical energy make such a feat arduous.

2. Conceptual Entities: Some gods represent ideas or abstract forces, such as Justice, Chaos, or Time. Their essence makes them "conceptually immortal," meaning they endure as long as their concept holds relevance in the universe. However, they are not invulnerable—erasing the belief in or connection to their concept renders them powerless and vulnerable.

3. Transcendental Beings: A rare subset, these gods are metaphysical phenomena rather than individuals. They cannot be interacted with directly and exist as omnipresent forces that drive the universe forward. Despite their grandiose existence, there are whispered legends of ancient relics capable of "severing their flow."

Magic as a Symbiotic Force

The gods fuel magic but also rely on it to maintain their essence. This symbiotic relationship creates a delicate balance. A god weakened by prolonged disuse of their magical reservoir risks fading into obscurity. Conversely, mortals can draw upon their power through spells and rituals, sometimes draining a god to the brink of nonexistence.

The Secret of Their End

Despite their formidable might, there exists a permanent method to extinguish a god. Few know of this technique, and fewer still understand its implications. Whispers among mortal scholars speak of a forbidden ritual combining divine relics and ancient incantations from the primordial language of the gods. The ritual does not merely kill; it erases the god, their existence wiped from all planes of reality as though they never were. This method is coveted by mortals seeking vengeance and feared by gods guarding their legacy.

The Divinus Entia in the Modern Era

As superheroes and magic users rise to prominence, the Divinus Entia observe, wary of their power being misused. Some gods ally themselves with heroes, hoping to preserve the balance of magic, while others manipulate mortals into doing their bidding. These alliances blur the line between mortal and divine, creating alliances, betrayals, and wars that reshape the landscape of this universe.

In this vibrant world, the Divinus Entia serve as both a source of wonder and a harbinger of destruction, their presence a constant reminder of the thin veil separating mortals from the unfathomable cosmos. Superheroes and magic users must navigate this dangerous terrain, confronting gods both tangible and conceptual, knowing that every encounter could tip the scales of reality.
