202 Cosmic Power (1/2)
[Star Domain Passive Powers:
Astronomical Object Physiology and Creation: This is a distinct and key star domain power. With it you can become or create an astronomical object, though with your current level of influence you can't become planets, or black or white holes, but you can become comets, meteors, nebulae, asteroids, and stars.
This power can be used to wipe out entire planets or to help alter and configure star systems to your liking. Becoming a star doesn't necessarily mean becoming as big as the biggest or smallest star, but it certainly could. You could also become bigger than the biggest or smaller than the smallest stars in the universe.
Astronomical Combat: A power derived from ”Astronomical Object Physiology and Creation” this power allows you to attack utilizing the energies and properties of astronomical objects. This means you can attack using solar energy, lunar energy, and more energies related to the bodies found in space. Unleashing a small solar flare, something you can do now, is probably the easiest unique attack you can do with this power but this also means you can unleash things like solar beams and lunar blades at will.
Corona Aura and Manipulation: This grants you an aura of plasma, exactly like the one possessed by stars. You can also attack with this aura, and you can manipulate the coronas of stars you control.
Cosmic Element Manipulation and Generation: You can manipulate cosmic elements. These elements are often supercharged compared to elements found on or in planets. An example of this includes the fact that cosmic winds, which move at super-sonic speeds and ferry particles throughout the cosmos.
Cosmic Ray Generation and Manipulation: You can grant and manipulate cosmic rays, high-energy protons and atomic nuclei which move through space at nearly the speed of light.
Cosmic Weather Manipulation and Generation: You can manipulate and generate cosmic weather, which includes things like solar flares, geomagnetic storms, and even the ambient temperature of space.
Nebulae Manipulation and Generation: You can generate and control nebulae, enormous clouds of dust and gas tens to hundreds of light-years across that can be the birthplaces of stars and planets. You can become a living nebula if you so wish, spreading yourself hundreds of light-years out and becoming a living being of gases and dust.
Stardust Manipulation And Generation: You can generate and manipulate stardust, refractory dust grains that condensed from cooling ejected gases from individual presolar stars and incorporated into clouds from which solar systems condensed.
You can also destroy stars and moons, which would decimate life on local planets and send the planets themselves flying out into space.
Star Domain Active Power:
Localized Black Hole: This once per month attack allows you to create a miniaturized black hole with a range you set. This will suck up just about anything that isn't magically protected by magic cast by divinities.]

”This... This is power.” I muttered as I mulled over the newest powers I had acquired. I could feel my body more efficiently absorbing lunar energies even as I considered the powers that now lurked within me.
I glanced at my fist and closed it. There was a grin on my face as I did so. I could feel the power of space settling within my soul. As I quietly adjusted to my new powers and power I felt my mind synchronizing with the stars I had visited. Without words I could feel my connection to the stars themselves and I shuddered as I felt it wash over me. I now possessed power beyond what I had imagined possible even in my wildest, most ambitious visions of glory.
I could create or destroy stars themselves! I had the power to become a star within my soul, and at will could take on forms larger than planets. That was the sort of power that expanded my conception of what was possible even for a god.
Even as I mulled over what was possible, a new icon appeared at the edge of my vision. It had been a long time since I had really needed one of them, and this one was no exception to that: it was a symbol for star manipulation. It was an icon in the shape of a six-sided star. A part of me was curious as to the raw destructive power such an ability would grant me, but for now I was content to ignore it.
These new powers made me a cosmic entity in the most real sense possible at the moment. I would only become an even more cosmic entity as I gained greater power over the star domain, other domains such as the physics domain, and subdomains such as the technology subdomain.
I closed my eyes and willed actual sunlight out of myself as a test for my solar and stellar capabilities. When I opened my eyes a heartbeat later I was pleasantly delighted, but not surprised, to see the forest floor brightly illuminated, even as pure sunlight exuded out of my very pores.
Unfiltered, abundant, but thankfully not hot sunlight escaped from me. It lit the forest floor that surrounded me in a natural and divine glow that illuminated every single corner of the area around me. And as it did I studied the area that surrounded me.
________________________________________________
The god was silent as light began to flood out of him. It was raw sunlight, sunlight that blindingly lit up every blade of grass and every nanometer of tree bark that surrounded him. The light fed the plants or at least the ones that used photosynthesis, as efficiently as normal sunlight fed them. The majority of the floral lifeforms that surrounded the god were almost grateful to the deity as they basked in his light. He was so excited that he quietly grew in height, becoming an entire meter taller over the course of forty-five seconds.
This was the first time the god was unleashing actual sunlight even though it wasn't the first time he had unleashed light. Back on his homeworld, where much of the planet's continental crust was hallow, he had frequently unleashed light to illuminate caverns and to create safe spaces within the planet's underground regions. That said, the god himself felt the difference in power and capabilities between what he was unleashing now and what he had unleashed in the past. It was incredible.
The power he felt radiating out of his pores blew his mind more than anything ever had before. In his mind, this was redefining power itself as this sort of power was incomparable to the poultry powers he possessed until now. Within himself he possessed the ability to create or destroy objects bigger than planets, and he could unleash beams and attacks that were over a million degrees in celsius.
Beyond just the ability to unleash unimaginably destructive beam attacks, he had gained other new ways to destroy than ever before. One brutal example was that if he wanted too he could now radiate light and that light itself could burn and destroy his enemies who made the mistake of existing near him.
