Have you read all of them on wikipedia? Don't worry it will take time to develop them through meditation and it could takes years to get the upper ones. Plus the most amusing will be maxima if I remember the name correctly. Of course it would still takes years to train it.

Thank you Zale! I should have eighty nine points right now. I'll pay eighty for them.

On Wikipedia I see many different things.

# tri-kāla-jñatvam: Knowing the past, present and future;
# advandvam: Tolerance of heat, cold and other dualities;
# para citta ādi abhijñatā: Knowing the minds of others and so on;
# agni arka ambu viṣa ādīnām pratiṣṭambhaḥ: Checking the influence of fire, sun, water, poison, and so on;
# aparājayah: Remaining unconquered by others;
These look.. find I guess. Not to crazy. The last one is rather hard to define, but ..

# Aṇimā: reducing one's body even to the size of an atom
# Mahima: expanding one's body to an infinitely large size
# Garima: becoming infinitely heavy
# Laghima: becoming almost weightless
# Prāpti: having unrestricted access to all places
# Prākāmya: realizing whatever one desires
# Iṣṭva: possessing absolute lordship;
# Vaśtva: the power to subjugate all.
Ha.. No. These are no.  

The fifth one could be interpreted to be omnipresence and then there's the one after that which is all but reality warping.
Then the next one is omnipotence along with the last one.

Just no. No matter the cost.

    * anūrmi-mattvam: Being undisturbed by hunger, thirst, and other bodily disturbances
    * dūra-śravaṇa: Hearing things far away
    * dūra-darśanam: Seeing things far away
    * manaḥ-javah: Moving the body wherever thought goes (teleportation)
    * kāma-rūpam: Assuming any form desired
    * para-kāya praveśanam: Entering the bodies of others
    * sva-chanda mṛtyuh: Dying when one desires
    * devānām saha krīḍā anudarśanam: Witnessing and participating in the pastimes of the Gods.
    * yathā sańkalpa saḿsiddhiḥ: Perfect accomplishment of one's determination
    * ājñā apratihatā gatiḥ: Orders or Commands being unimpeded
These seem.. better.

The first eight are fine. I'm not sure about the last two.

You do know the second ones are all reduced in power, right. I would never let them have lordship over all, nor realize all of their desires. It would be more like authoritative commands to things and having limited forms of your desires manifest. Think of them as toned down, and just ignore the "Infinite" parts in the weight and size ones. Do you approve now? I'm willing to modify them.

Which ones?

The first, second or third?

Also, please format your story posts better.

The current result is a big block of text that is quite difficult to read.

Sorry, hard to format well on my iPod. I'll try to get on a computer later and tidy it up.

I'll modify the whole second bracket if you want. I looked on multiple websites and at least one stated that one of the last three could just be manipulation of subtle energies, realizing desires could be probability manipulation or a limited form of manifestation. I'll put a limit on the size thing. The wieght increasing one will also top off at a point. I can think of ways to limit the OP ones, then do you approve?

How many points did you say you were spending on this?

Eighty. If you want I can wait for noon and midnight tonight until I have one hundred and then I can spend that many.

Eighty is fine.

For that many points..

# Aṇimā: reducing one's body even to the size of an atom (If you want I can reduce the size, though it doesn't seem overpowered)
# Mahima: expanding one's body to an infinitely large size (If someone gets this it will be a size increase to that of a very large building, with training that of a small mountain)
# Garima: becoming infinitely heavy (I can cap it off at about one thousand tons at full, less if you want)
# Laghima: becoming almost weightless (Personally I don't see a problem with this but if you want just tell me the limit)
# Prāpti: having unrestricted access to all places (I was thinking more like the ability to be in only a few locations at once and just be allowed into buildings, etc. Within reason)
# Prākāmya: realizing whatever one desires (This could be a limited form of manifestation, increasing slightly with practice)
# Iṣṭva: possessing absolute lordship; (I was thinking the manipulation of subtle energies/ some form of probability manipulation)
# Vaśtva: the power to subjugate all.(This could just be control over things that increases with practice, resisted by the last siddhi of the first bracket)

That looks Ok, I guess.

This won't turn out frighteningly bad.

Would you rather have him spend eighty points making a bazillion more gods?

No. Actually, I'd rather him stop trying to build up his legion of superhuman netherspawn and make a civilization without an ulterior motive in mind, and without assuming OTHERS have an ulterior motive in mind.

You can just smite them.

For 2+ points.

Or, make a fertility goddess. That is close enough to beauty for me to approve with ease.

Then say the goddess is offended by the restrictions placed on the Atheri regarding their ability to have children with other races. She responds by drastically cutting down on their birth rate. The population would remain small.

 Hm...interesting.

I only have a few more to go.

War, who will also be an instigator of strife. Peace. And coincidentally, Fertility.
