Divine Protection

## Information

Divine Protections are blessings given to people at birth by the world, bestowed by the Od Laguna. Some races have a Divine Protection that is always given to members of that race. Most ghosts are reborn without any Divine Protection, and those who are reborn with it know of their own Divine Protection without being told. The ratio of Divine Protection holders is 1:100 for useless ones, 1:1,000 for useful ones, 1:10,000 for somewhat rare ones, 1:100,000 for really useful ones, 1:1,000,000 for unique ones, 1:10,000,000 for more than one, and the existence of those with more than one Divine Protection are considered to be strange. According to both Cubical and the author herself, Shape Factors are incompatible with those who have Divine Protections, and Authorities are superior versions of Divine Protections. Though Divine Protections remain with the individual from birth to death, it is possible to temporarily strip one of their Protection by using a magic circle that isolates the area from the Od Laguna. It's also worth noting that two Divine Protections that work against each other (for example, if person A has Divine Protection of Arrow Evasion and person B has a made up Divine Protection of Always-Hitting-Your-Shots) will cancel each other out.
