What are "true god powers"?

"True god powers" is a phrase that can mean different things depending on context (mythology, fiction, occult, role-playing games, spiritual beliefs). I’ll summarize the main ways people use the term and what kinds of abilities are usually meant.

1. In mythology and religion

• Omnipotence: unlimited power to do anything physically possible, often qualified (e.g., cannot contradict logical laws).
• Omniscience: complete knowledge of past, present and future.
• Omnipresence: being present everywhere at once.
• Creatorship: creating universes, life, matter from nothing.
• Immortality/eternity: unending life outside normal time.
• Sovereignty over natural laws: controlling weather, seasons, life/death, fate. Note: Different religious traditions attribute a subset of these or describe divine power in non-literal or metaphorical terms.

2. In fiction (books, comics, games)

• Reality warping: altering the fabric of reality, rewriting rules.
• Time manipulation: stopping, rewinding, or branching timelines.
• Matter/energy manipulation: creating, transmuting, or destroying matter and energy.
• Resurrection and immortality: reviving or making beings unkillable.
• Telepathy/omnilingualism: reading minds, understanding any language.
• Power bestowal or nullification: granting, removing or absorbing other powers. Fictional "true gods" often have near-absolute abilities tailored to the story; authors set limits for balance and plot.

3. In occult, esoteric or New Age usage

• Spiritual transcendence: mastery over self and lower drives, claiming unity with a higher reality.
• Psychic or siddhi-like abilities: clairvoyance, levitation, bilocation, healing, though these claims are not scientifically proven.
• Symbolic "god power": inner authority, creative will, and moral responsibility rather than literal omnipotence.

4. In role-playing games and mechanics

• Divine ranks often grant game effects: area-of-effect powers, resurrection, planar travel, command over followers, reality-altering spells.
• "True god powers" are typically gamified: finite lists, resource costs, and counters to keep play balanced.

How to think about the phrase

• Literal vs. metaphorical: Many uses are metaphorical (extreme influence or mastery) rather than literal omnipotence.
• Limits and paradoxes: Absolute omnipotence leads to classic philosophical problems (e.g., can an omnipotent being create a stone it cannot lift?). Most systems avoid paradoxes by defining limits.
• Ethical dimension: In stories and religions, "god power" is typically paired with moral responsibility and consequences.

If you meant a specific work of fiction, religious tradition, game system, or occult system, tell me which one and I can list the specific powers, rules and limits used there.
