A being is a God when they have "ascended". They become connected and entwined with the very threads of the multiverse, able to access its nooks and crannies at will, make use of all its magical potential (some better than others). I belueve the tiers of godhood to depend with connectivity and ability to manipulate the forces of the anima mundi. A being becomes a "god" when he or she announces it. He or she is recognised as a "God" when they have enough followers to enforce their claim to reasonable distinction. It is not until they "ascend" that they are a God, and only then can they prove and enforce it by displaying their nigh immortality. until they ascend, they can sti be a God in name - or a "God". The only way to prove whether they are a God or not is to kill them, at which point their energies dissipate into the earth and provoke a reaction from it, and/or empower the God Slayer Sources: Idk, Quests and Podcasts.
