====Pantheon Purviews==== '''Arcane Calculus''': Associated with the Mythos. Grants the Scion the ability to tap into the cosmic knowledge and hidden sciences of the Great Old Ones to boost their analysis, research and surveying skills. '''Arete/Metamorphosis''': Associated with the Dodekatheon/Theoi (Greek Pantheon). Arete, meaning "excellence", basically lets a Scion super-charge their ability to use their Ability scores and related skills, giving them free bonus dice when rolling for skill and ability checks. Replaced in 2e with metamorphosis, which lets a Scion shapeshift into anything they can imagine. '''Cheval/Gun''': Associated with the Loa and Orisha (Voodoo and Yoruba Pantheons). The Scion can now use others as "horses", projecting their spirit into a person's body to see through their senses or just take over. '''Heku''': Associated with the Pesedjet/Netjer (Egyptian Pantheon). Various powers relating to the Pesedjet's division of the soul. '''Itzli/Nextlahualli''': Associated with the Atzlanti/Teotl (Aztec Pantheon). Itzli is sacrifice-fueled blood magic, requiring the Scion to hurt themselves and/or others depending on the powers used. Replaced in 2e with Nextlahualli, which both allows non-blood sacrifices and also gives you buffs when answering sacrifices as well as making them. '''Jotunblut/Wyrd''': Associated with the Aesir (Norse Pantheon). Allows a Scion to feed others their blood to transform them into super-strong demi-giants. Replaced in 2e with Wyrd, which allows a scion to both use rune magic and the Aesir art of seiðr, which lets them manipulate a persons fate by weaving and allows for divination via casting runes. '''Tsukumo-gami/Yaoyorozu-No-Kamigami''': Associated with the Amatsukami (Japanese Pantheon). Allows the Scion to command the kami of various objects and places. '''Enech/Geasa''': Associated with the Tuatha de Dannan (Irish Pantheon). Allows the Scion to place beings under geasa, both as punitive measures and to reward them if they adhere to their oaths. '''Taiyi/Tianming''': Associated with the Celestial Bureaucracy (Chinese Pantheon). Taiyi Allows the Scion to transform objects, beings and even places by manipulating Qi, culminating in the power to create life from nothing or even reshape supernatural creatures into more desirable forms. Replaced in 2e with Tianming, which lets you give yourself or others ridiculous promotions, such as "Minister of Kicking Ass" or "That God No One Likes" that grant bonuses to rolls that complement the duties of that title at the expense of penalties when said duties might piss someone off (for example, the Minister of Kicking Ass will be very good at doing exactly that and the Guardian of Dogs is probably going to have trouble dealing with cats). It also includes a bunch of other abilities that make you very good at working with bureaucracies- you'll never have to worry about long lines at the DMV again! '''Samsara/Yoga''': Associated with the Devas (Hindu Pantheon). Samsara allows Manipulation of Fate through the precept of "action begets reaction". Replaced with Yoga in 2e, which is about through meditation and self sacrifice, you gain additional benefits. '''Asha''': Associated with the Yazata (Persion Pantheon). Fueled by the principles of Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds, power over truth and right. '''Scire/Demiurgy''': Associated with the Atlantean Pantheon. Gives the Scion increased affinity for knowledge and tools, from being able to learn anything in a book or on a computer disk by touching it to being able to mentally control a tool from afar. Yes, control computers with your brain is explicitly called out as possible, up to and including taking over the internet with your mind. 2e gives it a bit more of a [[Magitek]] cybernetics slant. '''Industry''': Associated with the Yankee Pantheon. Allows a Scion to do more and be more by improving techniques and technology. '''Civitas''': Associated with the Allied Pantheons. Allows a Scion to enhance the group in various ways, from healing to augmenting checks. '''Dodaem''': Associated with the Manitou (Algonquian Pantheon). Allows a Scion to commune with the spirits of objects, people, ideas, and events. '''Nemetons''': Associated with the Nemetondevos (Gaulish Pantheon), it allows a person to harness the power of sacred sites. '''Mana''': Associated with the Atua (Polynesian Pantheon). '''Pachakutic''': Associated with the Apu (Incan Pantheon). It allows a person to manipulate and channel the energies within the sacred sites called ''huacas'', even allowing them to fuel the use of other Purviews through sacrificial rituals.
