The room lay drenched in suffocating silence, as if time itself dared not move. Lord Venlock was a 7th Circle mage who had never known such a dread, and upon meeting Lucian, he felt the weight of his presence. His heart forced its way into his throat as he locked eyes with this young man who claimed to be the Supreme Being. And in that gaze, he saw the vastness that engulfed him beyond his comprehension, a power that dwarfed even the mightiest beings in existence.
Yet, Lucian's focus was not on the quaking lord. His eyes moved onto Elysia, the 2nd Circle mage standing by his side. Her posture was tight, her eyes darting with caution, uncertainty etched on her face. She had watched and listened to everything that she needed to know that Lucian was no ordinary being, but the power he claimed to offer? It seemed impossible.
Lucian smiled softly, knowing the doubt in her head.
"You do not trust me," he said, his voice soft but carrying an undeniable authority. "You wonder how I can grant the powers I speak of."
Elysia nodded, her throat dry. "It's not that I doubt your strength, my lord. But to grant power. to become a goddess, as you say. How can such a thing be possible?"
Lucian's smile grew. "Let me show you."
Lucian raised his hand, but hesitantly, cautiously. The room quieted as if all magic in the world was cohering toward him. A light filled with shimmering archaic power illuminated the atmosphere, and within his palm began to form golden light. Elysia stared in wonder as the light expanded around her; it was a cocoon, soft and gentle. Power surged through her as she had never known before.
A voice, old and mighty, resonated in her mind, as if the cosmos themselves whispered to her new identity: The Goddess of Magic.
Her body tingled as the energy surged through her, rewriting her very essence, elevating her beyond mortal limitations. In an instant, a system panel appeared before her eyes, glowing with divine authority.

When the Panel was gone, Elysia felt it imbued into her bloodstream. She felt the universe open its secreted chambers to her, revealing mysteries and abilities that no human mind could ever grasp. Her mind expanded enough to understand spells and magic that she had never known before. She was completely transformed.
She blinked, looking at her hands-they glowed with a soft, arcane light. Lucian watched her in silence, smiling.
"This is your gift," Lucian said, his voice calm. "The power of a goddess. You are now the embodiment of magic in this world and beyond."
Elysia swallowed hard, still trying to grasp the enormity of her transformation. She was no longer the same person; she was not a simple mage anymore.
"You... really did it," she whispered. "But why?"
"Because I see potential in you," Lucian said. "You are meant for more than just this world, and now you can reshape it in ways no one else can."
