Akhet

God of the Spectrum

Akhet, often called the God of Light despite this title being incorrect, is a primordial God of the EM Spectrum which makes his true title Akhet, God of The Spectrum. However, as he is most often seen as a force that spreads light, as many stars were forged from this God’s will, he is often incorrectly labelled. Akhet was a creator when he first came into existence, birthing many a species in his time although he would destroy many as his thirst for perfection was never truly satisfied. However, the God soon realised that to truly create perfection he must experience the universe and so he built himself a form that resembled a human so that, if there was ever a time when he could walk among those who were not divine, he would be able to and then he could finally create his perfect creation.

Currently he resides in a pocket realm of his own design, a blue star appearing in the sky in a pleasant looking word where the wildlife has blue glows to them as they are failed creations of his which he has decided, in his boredom, to surround himself with. His actual form within this realm is far within it’s concept of space although he can act through the eyes of his creations which appear like normal wildlife apart from their blue glows and tints.

Abilities

Akhet is a very powerful divine being as for many of the magics he wields he does not use them in the usual way. Using a combination of Fire and Astral magic, for instance, he can forge stars themselves although he has done this less as of current. Using fire magic as well he can create and manipulate flame as a normal fire magic however, this magic as well as Astral magic is where his unusual abilities lie. He has taken fire magic to such a degree where he has pioneered a new spell which allows him to manipulate the product of fire, this product being light, and he has also done this for Astral magic and these spells are, as of now, unique to him. Furthermore, he has pioneered another set of spells that give the unique ability to absorb the EM radiation emitted by stars and what wave is emitted depends upon the star’s temperature which is also dependant on the mass. However, this ability comes with a few weaknesses the first one being that he must seemingly meditate to absorb the wavelengths meaning it would be very difficult to recharge mid-combat as he’d have to be sitting still. Secondly, once he has used up his absorbed waves for that type of radiation all abilities using them are locked off until he recharges, making them a resource. Finally, his avatar body can only absorb so much radiation especially at once meaning that if he absorbs too much radiation his body will suffer the side effects of high exposure to that type of radiation which in many cases can be fatal or crippling.

As well as this using shadow magic he can create illusions and render himself invisible as he doesn’t really care too much for this magic. His astral magic also allows him to teleport to any place there is light and he can also bring others with him although this ability requires the passengers to have physical contact with him. Finally, using his life magic allows him to, most importantly, create new avatars and species although this physically cannot be done mid-combat as it requires focus.

Weaknesses

Akhet mirrors his element of choice and due to this he is a very distant entity as light doesn’t favour any of creation nor does it focus on one area, instead blanketing them all, so he struggles to maintain focus on one issue or point in creation. Furthermore, he is also a perfectionist in most if not all cases so his effectiveness is often hampered by his wanting to do things to a perfect level, hence why almost all of his personally created species and weapons, are destroyed at this time. Finally, while Akhet is able to channel most of his abilities via his avatar he can’t use the full extent of what he can muster without literally self-destructing his avatar, despite how hard he worked on it the confines of the mortal body can only take so much energy. This means that to use his true potential he’d have to bring his form to the fight and it’s not exactly mobile so he must content himself to avatars.

On a matter of death, if Akhet’s avatar body was to be destroyed, either by trying to channel magic it can’t or due to damage, his consciousness would be forcibly returned to his main body and all spellcraft that he’d currently used that was not permanent would be deactivated. For a while after the God would not truly be seen in the world as he would have to consolidate his power, potentially build a new avatar body if he wants and he’d of had a taste of his own mortality which would certainly take some overcoming. If one were to then journey to Akhet’s physical body and able to overcome the God to destroy it you would need to destroy the heavy core in the center of Akhet’s collapsing star form and this would be quite a feat as the collapsing star around the core would incinerate many physical attacks. Once the core is destroyed the energy would collapse in on itself for a final time, appearing to vanish. In Akhet’s death something interesting would happen as a shard of his consciousness would be dispersed into every light wave in existence which would be death as there is no way the microscopic shard of his existence could gain sentience and rebuild itself and this would also mean one could not attempt to use some form of resurrection magic to revive the God.

Personality

Akhet, as mentioned before, is a very distant God due to his high levels of awareness on multiple planes as he is light after all. While not being cruel or mean exactly he can come across as uncaring as he’s lived millenia and can see what’s happening in thousands of places so caring about one person and them specifically is actually a feat for this entity. Despite his distant nature, if something seems to him to be of a great benefit to him or the greater whole in his perception he will try his best to help despite his perfectionist nature probably causing some issues for him.

Magics
Akhet is bound to Fire, Life, and Astral magics.

Fire magic because fire lets off heat and light, which both can be indirectly found in Infrared and Light in the EM spectrum. Life because plants and many life forms rely upon light to live. Astral because he forged many celestial bodies so their power are just segments of his. Interestingly, the God would also wield shadow magic as you cannot have shadows without light.

Creatures
Moths are in fact bound to Akhet although this was more of a vain action by the God. Also, rather interestingly, the crocodile is bound to Akhet as it basks in the light and heat of a a star so it is bound to him. Although potentially, if he were able to create a form of life that met his immense standards, he could create a new creature that he does not burn from existence.

Artifacts
Akhet created Lux.
