    Also, something doesn't seem right. Thor mentions that if he was to try to talk to the Dark One personally, that their interactions could create a mini 2-colored snarl which would be dangerous!

    But...

    Does this mean, since this mini-snarl is made of 2 colors, which is more than the gods which are only made of one color, and mortals are made of 3 characters, that the mortals should therefore be much much stronger?

    Something here does not add up. If 2-colored mini snarls are dangerous, than mortals, which are made up of 3 characters must be even more dangerous. If gods can easily kill mortals, then they should easily be able to deal with a mini snarl.
    Mortals, being made of three divine essences are more "real" than gods and therefore would always win a fight against a god of a similar level. It doesn't matter that a mortal's attack does three time as much damage against a god than it does against a fellow mortal when that god has 3 orders of magnitude more HP and their attack deal 2, 000 HP loss per turn (numbers made up on the fly to illustrate the point).

    The Snarl, however, is in the right ballpark for the difference in number of quiddities to matter. A second Snarl might be too. They don't know for sure but they don't feelblike risking it.

    Experience points are a quantification of your experiences. They are not your experiences. I mean, you could certainly have a setting where it works as you suggest, but I think if we're connecting the two in that way that it would be that a (temporary) loss of memory could result in an accompanying (temporary) loss of xp and possibly abilities.

    In terms of spell xp cost, I think it's more like casting these spells requires so much energy/will/whatever that it weakens you somewhat, possibly causing you to lose access to certain abilities (if you lose a level) until you are "recovered".

    But I don't think your experience points are literally your experiences and losing them means you forget your experiences is meant to be the standard.

    Minrah: "You're...not going, are you? You can't!"

    Thor: "The other gods have already gone. I came to give you my thanks and have a last pint of beer with my favorite followers."

    Minrah: "You can't do this! How can you leave us?"

    Thor: "We make this sacrifice to save the creation we love, Minrah. Just as how The Order of the Stick sacrificed themselves to save what they loved."

    Minrah: "I don't understand! What about the clerics? What about my magic? I can't feel it inside me anymore. Is there no more divine magic in this world?"

    Thor: "Not as you know it. There may be other forms of divine magic, like those Creed of Stone guys on the Godsmoot. It is up to you to find it. Now is begun what will be known on this world as the Age of Mortals. It will be the final age, I think. The final, the longest, and, perhaps, the best. Farewell, Minrah. Farewell, my all of my followers."
    I think that you are quoting from the dragonlance dragons of summer flame book. Feels like the conversation that paladine has in that book

    I'm guilty as charged.
