There are virtually no rules as to what a god must be like, with gods in ''Fire Emblem'' ranging from the humanoid to the monstrous and grotesque. The abilities, appearance, and powers of each god vary greatly from individual to individual. Typically, as most religions presented in the ''Fire Emblem'' series are pantheistic, each god has their own domain over which they have absolute control, rather than omnipotent rule over all domains of nature. They often bear extreme magical powers, including the ability of creation, or the ability to revive the dead.<ref>{{cite|[[Mila|She]] can even restore life to the dead. ...Surprised?|[[Celica]], | There are virtually no rules as to what a god must be like, with gods in ''Fire Emblem'' ranging from the humanoid to the monstrous and grotesque.

* Various minor deities exist on [[Archanea]] and most [[tome]]s and [[staves]] contain bits of their power. Praying to the deity can empower the unleashed magical energy.<ref>{{Cite web|quote=Gotoh convinced humans to borrow the deities’ powers and warned them at the same time. So fire magic comes from the deity of fire, wind magic is borrowed from the deity of wind and etc. Magic is thus the technology where one harnesses energy that exists naturally. Spell books and staves can be thought of as vessels that store this energy. To release this energy requires a certain amount of skill, such as by chanting keywords or through mental control techniques. In order to acquire a sufficient skill level, one must undergo self-training.
