## Summary

**Jehovah**, sometimes identified as **YHVH**, **Allah**, or simply **God**, is the Supreme Creator of the Abrahamic Religions, recognized as the one and only God in Christianity, Judaism and Islam, of whose Divine Presence all other divinities in alternate faiths and religions are nothing but pale shadows and who stands outside of Creation as its absolute ruler, enigmatic, ineffable and only ever manifesting through mere aspects of his being, such as the Jesus Christ, the Annointed One, who many believers recognize as the Son of God and the Good Shepherd who would guide humanity to the direction of its Creator, though even such aspects are still shaped entirely by the eyes of those who behold them, and thus their words ultimately reveal more about the person with whom they are communicating than about God Himself.

In spite of his extremely idle, aloof nature, as well as the uncertainties surrounding the faith and doctrine with Him at the core, the Divine Father's influence is acknowledged by a number of traditions in the world of *Mage*, with the Order of Hermes and the Ahl-i-Batin recognizing his creation of the universe through the lens of the holy Kabbalah of Jewish Mysticism, and the Fallen Nephandi, though largely indifferent to the God of such schools of thought, still centering their process of descent culminating in supreme godhood around the Qliphothic Tree of Knowledge, the Shadow of Creation and reverse side of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, whose broken spheres and shattered parsonages are said to embody Jehovah's own doubts and fears regarding his existence, as well as pieces of knowledge that he does not wish humanity to learn about.

Resistance to Biological Manipulation
All previous abilities to an infinitely greater extent, as well as: Void Manipulation and Chaos Manipulation (Described as having crafted the Tellurian out of the primal chaos of the Void, which represented the utter absence of all possibility, "cracking open" its nothingness and causing The All to be spilled forth), Vibration Manipulation, Sound Manipulation, Omnipresence, Enhanced Magic (Created the Nine Spheres, which are each fundamental aspects of reality whose manipulation is the origin of all magick), Power Bestowal, Plant Manipulation (Gave Lilith power to grow plant and many others), Avatar Creation (Created Yahweh), Large Size (Type 11. Jehovah is one with Creation), Plot Manipulation (Created the Tellurian, which would include the Quintessence)

**Attack Potency:** **Ascended level** (Yahweh is a fundamental aspect of the Tree of Life that, like his consort, resides in its highest world, corresponding to the Epiphamies, purely conceptual domains that lie at the apex of the High Umbra, atop an hierarchy of increasingly abstract levels of existence and consciousness, each of which perceives the one before it as shadows cast upon a wall, that extends into infinity and whose second lowest level, the Vulgate / Yesod is a space where all mathematically coherent phenomena are instantiated in material form, as opposed to the Epiphamies themselves, where only the pure ideas of such things exist) | **Ascended level** (Jehovah is the Supreme Creator and the active consciousness [nous] of the Essential Divinity, being responsible for the making of the Tellurian itself and being one with all of Creation [Which encompasses the Etherspace that contains and transcends the Epiphamies of Earth's Shard Realm, as well as the void of the Deep Umbra that lies even further beyond it], while simultaneously existing outside of it in a state equal to those who achieved the Black Diamond, which is described as causing a Nephandi to reach beyond all conception and into a level undefinable by any symbols or divisions, which are all collapsed into nothingness and reunited into the darkness of the Void)

**Weaknesses:** Non-notable
