Bab 136: Array Activation

The mechanism of the black mud on the gods was that any divine gifts or will that attempted to descend from the astral realm would be distorted by the enormous evil and malice contained in the black mud ensuring both the recipient and provider would be damaged, for the gods although the damage was painful it was not immediately fatal, but for the recipient the enormous distortion brought by the enormous amount of malice would cause them to lose their minds becoming uncontrollable monsters.

  At least that was the ideal situation but due to different uncontrollable factors, the present situation was that the degree of damage caused by the black mud for both the deities and priests depended on basically the influence of their action on the world if their influence was minimal and coincided with the general trend of the will of the world the damage would be minimal, but if otherwise then even the most powerful of deities were at the risk of falling.
