That is how a big rock, or a giant fungus, or a fountain become something more. They are not worshiped because they are more. They are more because they are worshiped.

It is also why pretender-gods (in vanilla) cannot bless, or be blessed, or build temples to themselves. And why they are boosted within the area of their worship (dominion)

And if all other pretender-gods are wiped out so that this is the only thing being worshiped, it ascends to godhood. It does not choose to, its forced to.

Well said.

Forced to become a god, geez some people have it tough
