Divine Spark
[x] Devour Achilles divine spark
Shioon closed his eyes in contemplation. He did not find it likely Achilles had laid some kind of trap for him. The greek hero was about as forthcoming as he could be. Shioon was unsure why he had taken the risk just to warn him about Pandora and offer his mantle, yet he could not find it within him to doubt Achilles' purpose. The god stays silent, allowing Shioon to consider his choice without any further input or distraction.
"I will accept your mantle Achilles," Shioon said with more conviction than he felt. Would taking this change who he is? Or had becoming a Campione already done that? Or was this his true nature coming to the fore? He unfortunately did not have an answer. Achilles on the other hand is ebullient at his acceptance.
"Good! There is little for you to do in this process. I will need a bit of time to condense my powers. Once I am done, this illusion will disappear. You must then grab my divine spark as soon as it manifests and consume it."
"What happens once I consume your divine spark? Wouldn't you cease to exist?" Shioon asked with concern. Achilles smiled softly.
"You truly are a most genuine hero," Achilles tapped Shioon's chest lightly, right above his heart. "Do not allow your heart to falter in the coming days. Your trials have only just begun." He turns his back to Shioon and gazes sadly at the sky before walking away. The illusory world begun to crumble and fade.
"You are correct Yi Shioon. Once my divine spark is consumed I will cease to exist, but some sacrifices are worth one's life. There are fates far worse than death," Shioon is unable to see Achilles' expression as he disappears, but he hoped it was one of satisfaction.

Shioon found himself once again in the crater standing over the dying Mahesvara. Floating in front of him is a blue ball of light, no larger than apple. Achilles' divine spark, he thought. He reached out and grabbed the spark, before quickly placing it within his mouth and swallowed.
The divine spark sunk deep into Shioon's body before the core of his ki center spun rapidly and created suction force to drag the spark into itself. The ball of power resisted for a moment before calming and allowing itself to be absorbed.
Authority Gained: Andreias Amarantos - When Achilles was born, his mother Thetis extinguished his mortality by bathing him in the waters of the River Styx. With the exception of a single weak point, he is an invincible hero. Shioon's invulnerability and damage reduction are dependent on his divinity versus an enemy's. If his divinity is 10 points or greater than his enemy, he is completely invulnerable to their attacks unless they attack his weak point first. If his divinity is equal to or greater than his enemy's by less than 10 he takes half damage. If the enemy's divinity is greater than his by 5 or less, he takes 75% damage. Any greater than 5 points, he is vulnerable to their attacks as usual. + 6 Divinity, + 2 Charm
Acquired: Achilles' Battle Techniques Rank EX - Achilles was a master of warfare, whether it is a spear, a shield, a sword, or a bow; on foot, on horse or on chariot he could do it all. + 4 to War
Please discuss what your weak point is. This isn't a vote, I'll designate it based on best argument at my discretion.

Mahesvara Authority:
[ ] Avatar of the Destroyer - As one of the triumvirate of gods that presides over the Hindu pantheon, Shiva's task is that of destruction. As the last of the cosmic functions, the end of the cycle of existence, it is a supreme power. As the avatar, Shioon's fighting capabilities are drastically increased. Passively he is stronger, faster, and tougher while his ki can be morphed into projectile energy blades and blasts. He can also fully invoke Shiva's power and truly become the avatar of the destroyer at the cost of consuming enormous amounts of divine power. + 15 to rolls for 2 combat rounds, but take a -10 penalty for two subsequent combat rounds. + 8 War, + 10 Divinity.
[ ] Bearer of the Crescent Moon - Candraśekhara, to bear the moon upon his crest, one of Shiva's most prominent attributes. As the moon waxes and wanes, so too does creation. This Authority grants control over gravity which grow increasingly powerful until it peaks then wanes. Fully invoked, it will create a black hole to attack an enemy. + 8 Divinity, + 4 War, + 4 Wisdom
[ ] Shiva's Third Eye- Transcendent wisdom of great Shiva taking a form of third eye in the middle of Campione's brow. In its inactive state it looks like intricate tattoo visible only to those with high enough magic potential. In this form it increases intelligence of user as well as providing great number of vision benefits such as enchanted eyesight, nightvision, high tolerance towards visual obstructions such as rain or high intensity light, ability to see through illusions and so on. Provides +5 to Wisdom, +3 to Rule and +7 to Divinity.
Eye itself poses two active states. Primary state causes half-open eye to manifest and grants immense boost in intuition and intelligence, allowing user to make incredible observations and plans with medium drain as long as eye is open(+3 all stats bar Divinity during activation). Eye can also be fully opened at immense magic cost. By doing this all other effects provided by Eye will be sealed for twenty four hours. In turn, Shioon can either choose to completely understand object or person, with other Campions and Heretic Gods being somewhat resistant to this ability, or to fire highly compressed beam of divine energy whose wounds cannot be undone by resurrective effects.
