Thought we went over the specifics of magic already hehe.....
"After that, I cannot understand Why Witchcraft cost's the same as Hex-spheres even if it has that power included plus other abilities. Duration is somewhat more limited though."
Because the cost of Witchcraft also has to include the basic Mastery of Magic, whcih limits the level you can buy your Witchcraft at.
To have hex spheres at rank 6 costs 12 White stones.
To have Witchcraft at rank 6 costs 9 White Stones.
PLUS......
You must have at least rank 3 in Mastery of Magic, whcih costs another 3 White stones.
So the cost is the same... and even after this you have to spend stones on range and duration with Witchcrafts version of hex spheres, and with the basic action you do not.
As for the God debate. This is very much an apples and oranges debate.
Apples and oranges are both fruits, but not all fruits are citrus fruits.
Gods are certainly extradimensional beings, but not all extradimensional beings are gods. and hence if you ARE a God you are also an extradimensional being... but this does not mean you are not a god.
Thor is a god, even though he does not have the godlike powers action.
Funny thing is Loki is NOT a god, as all Asgardians are not gods, and he is half Asgardian and half Jotun/Giant. But he DOES have the God like powers.
Hercules is half god, who was then ascended to true god, yet does not have the godlike powers.
The collector is a being more powerful than ALL these, and so is Apacolypse for that matter, but as they were born on THIS dimension they are neither extradimensional nor gods. NO gods are born on this dimension.
Now for Mephisto... his true name is not unrevealed, it is only Mephistopholes. He IS extra-dimensional, and he IS worshipped by some as a god much like Loki). But technically he is a devil or a demon, and not a god. But he certainly WOULD have Godlike ability, and did in all the old Marvel write-ups.
