* The late Duchess of Borogravia is elevated to a minor deity by the prayers made to her instead of to Borogravia's "official" god Nuggan in the ''[[Discworld]]'' book ''[[Monstrous Regiment]]''.
* ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' has Magic Gods, people who have mastered magic where they can bend reality without exception through it. To obtain such godhood, a magician needs to master a path (such as a theology based inon Shinto, Voodoo, Hindu, Buddhism, Norse, Greek, etc.) to the end and perform a special ritual.

Many experiments have involved getting Espers to level up, especially with the Level 5s. There has been success, but only temporarily.
