And I don't think Sliske could have become a god from killing Guthix, to be quite honest. We saw this with Zamorak and Zaros, and Zaros was just as powerful as Guthix if he wasn't more powerful. Zamorak managed to suck in some of his energy and it really didn't give him ascension. He had to use the Stone of Jas to do such things.

But in regards to powering down, I'm sure they're regarding to the ability to lower a tier. I'm sure someone like Zaros could ascend to elder-godhood, in regards to your first note. As far as Zaros goes I'm more interested in wondering if rather than Ascending to an elder god level if he made the decision at one point to descend to tier 2 level. Particularly because we know that Zaros never Ascended to godhood. So what I'm getting out of this is Zaros could possibly be a descended Elder God, which would be quite interesting. This does bring to mind the currently unnamed Frenesake Creator God. Was/is this Zaros, perhaps? I would think that an interesting possibility. Although due to the way they speak about the Creator god it seems to sound like he's alive although technically if he's Zaros that would make him alive.
