God—an existence Basil had always refused to believe. There were more records about them than the happenings in the Age of Chaos, but Basil never treated any of them seriously.
As an exceptional Mage who knew well what he could achieve in the future, he refused to call an existence that only did what he had also been able to do in his past life a God.
It might be easier to accept the concept of God if he were a civilian, however he was not. Unlike civilians, who could do nothing extraordinary, he, as a Mage could do things that the civilians considered miraculous.
He could make water out of nowhere, he could make a snowfall in a specific place, he could produce lightning, he could split mountains—he could do almost everything what people claimed only a God could do.
