In the book Waterdeep when Cyric kills Bhaal, lets say Cyric had a life stealing blade (like the one Artemis Enteri uses). Would it be possible when he killed Bhaal, he would gain his life force thereby making him a god?
Just a crazy thought I had to come mind,after reading the book.

In any battle, the mightiest weapon is one that strikes unseen.
A Warrior or Wizard may be invincible in open battle, with their foes before them, but even they must sleep sometime, and cannot parry the knife that comes from behind.

Mayhaps he would gain a sliver of Divine Rank, such as Divine Rank 0. It's higher than most mortals, yet lower than the weakest demigod, right where Cyric belongs, in my opinion.....  |
The Chosen of Vhaeraun
"Nature is governed by certain immutable rules. By virtue of claw and fang, the lion will always triumph over the goat.Given time, the pounding of the sea will wear away the stone. And when dark elves mingle with the lighter races, the offspring invariably take after the dark parent. It is all much the same. That which is greater shall prevail. Our numbers increase steadily, both through birth and conquest. The dark elves are the dominant race, so ordained by the gods." Ka'Narlist of the Ilythiiri. |

| In my opinion, if Cyric used a life stealing blade, on a god ,as a mortal, stealing all of the god's power, then Cyric would have been destroyed, considering that the power of a god is too much for any mortal to contain. Fortuanately for Cyric Godsbane was able to store the power of a god, while protecting him from the god's destruction. Maybe there is evidence that I'm wrong about this, but that is my hypothesis. Feel free to discredit it. |
"Even before he first walked the world as a mortal, Cyric had the will to resist the random call of Fate and make his own fortune. As his newborn soul stood before the goddesses, he cast a light upon Tymora's silver coin, blinding them to his presence. The deities never saw the coin fall, never settled their wager on Cyric's destiny. Thus was he born into the world without any fate save the one he himself could forge." -- from the Cyrinishad |
