Capabilities
The user can have the traits and abilities of the Deities of the Cthulhu Mythos, which can be
divided into two broad groups:
Outer Gods: Described by H.P. Lovecraft as barely focused, near impersonal forces of nature
(Nyarlathotep being the only one with real personality), uncaring and supremely indifferent.
Great Old Ones: Generally physical beings, if vastly powerful, and as such somewhat more
relatable. They could be considered as extremely advanced aliens, although not always made
from the matter as we understand it and not as bound to the laws of nature.
