** Bob the Archmage replies to someone asking him if he is a god "Am I a god? Depends on what a god is. Is a god someone who can reshape reality according to his merest whims? As a mage, I am a god. You'll find that in this academy you'll find dozens of gods just going in the main dining area. Is a god someone who has power above an arbitrarily defined threshold? Then the answer depends on where you place that threshold. If all it takes for someone to qualify as a god is enough power to wipe out a [[OneManArmy whole infantry division all by himself?]] Then I am a god. Place that threshold at powerful enough to [[HealingMagicIsTheHardest cure incurable wounds or diseases]] or even bring someone BackFromTheDead? I am no god. Or is a god someone who gains power through [[GodNeedsPrayersBadly being worshiped]] and can empower others to act as a deputy? Then maybe I could become a god, maybe not. Maybe I already am. I will not pretend I understand even one percent of the mysteries of interactions between worship, gods, priest and [[ReligionIsMagic priests]], as that would be untrue, so who knows? Not me. So what do you define as a god? Depending on the answer to that question, I may or may not fit it."
