 This screen lets you define your God, which is full of all sorts of meaningful decisions and tricky interplay with your nation.

   - Adding magic from a new path costs more (40 for immobiles, 60 for most Titans, 80 for most Monsters, and 10 for Humans).

   - The more points you add to a specific path of magic, the more it costs. These costs accelerate - notice that your second click on one of the paths costs more than the first. So, if you want to reach a high number, you want to start at a high number to save points. No chassis starts with more than 3 in any single path.   - The more points you add to a specific path of magic, the more it costs.
