Line 91:
* This is part of the [[Backstory]] for the White Wolf's ''[[Mage: The Ascension]]''. All human beings have a tiny spark of the divine in them (called the Avatar). Those who are Awakened are called Mages and can use it to manipulate reality.
** Fascinating in that a [[Soul]] is not in itself divine. Mages ''can make souls'', but these lack the divine aspect even the lowliest [[Muggle]]'s soul carries. Of course, all this means is they can never Awaken and become Mages.
*** [[Applied Phlebotinum|Except]] [[Become a Real Boy|when]] [[Humanity Is Infectious|they]] [[Character Development|do]]. It is explicitly stated in the Technocracy books, that [[Artificial HumansHuman|Human Constructs]] (essentially [[Cloning Blues|clones]] or organic [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]) can become Awakened.
** That same spark of the divine makes humans valuable to [[Demon: The Fallen|demons]] - humans have Faith, which demons need to fuel their powers. Faith can be shared or taken, the demon's choice. The [[Karma Meter]] would prefer they have it shared.
* ''Mummy'' used this too. Osiris has been scattered around the world, and there's a bunch of Amenti trying to put him back together.
