Introduction
This one is gonna be relatively short compared to the other one, with almost no new additions and majority changes being adjustments. So let's not waste any time.Vanir Magic and Seidr
As we currently have it on the magic page, Seidr and Vanir Magic are listed as separate types of magic. However, on further examination, this distinction doesn't actually seem to exist. Multiple abilities on the page are confirmed to just be further applications of Seidr, like the plant manipulation and stealth mastery. Not only that but we have confirmation that all of Freya's showcases of magic were in fact, just Seidr. The magic of the Vanir Gods themselves, which is directly confirmed to be Seidr, is also confirmed as being the Old Magic that Freya practices.So "Vanir" doesn't exist as a separate magic type and its abilities should just be folded into Seidr.
Freya Healing
The soon-to-be merged Vanir Magic section has Low-Godly healing as an innate ability of itself and this should just go, since Freya is the greatest Seidr practitioner that exists, and giving this to every single Seidr sorcerer is erroneous. It would just be directly listed on her profile. Since this is confirmed to be Seidr, she would also be capable of healing herself like any other practitioner.Runes & Runic Magic
No ability additions or changes this time. This is just a more thoroughly explained rework of that section of the Magic page, with more scans.Runes are the language of the Scandinavian geographical region, that connects all things within it, regardless of origin. Each rune represents an existing thing, including gods, animals, and more with even a single missing piece changing their nature and ability to influence the world. These runes can influence the world merely by being spoken. As all words are runes, removing them affects reality as a whole, as when Garm ate the word for "being so hungry you no longer feel hungry" and removed it from reality alongside Midgard's fifth season.
They hold the knowledge of all things within them, including even the future, as Freya could read Baldur's death from them, and even her use of the Old Magic was a manifestation of runes. Said runes hold dominion over not just the physical world but also immaterial aspects of reality like time itself.
All of this is important as Runic Magic itself is not only drawn from the makeup of a Realm but visibly manifests as runes. This is further affirmed by Cory Barlog, the director of God of War (2018), with him saying that the runes have both a mundane meaning as an alphabet, and an individual metaphorical meaning that connects the characters to the magic of the world itself. So magic itself is composed of runes, that are foundational to reality but also carry individual meanings whose use and intonation affect the world itself.

Kronos and Time
Currently, Kronos is considered to have been born alongside time in the cosmology of the setting. Only, with our recent purge of social media posts and closer look at the material, this is a lot nebulous than should be possible, with the only remaining solid evidence being the naming convention of his gift to the Sisters of Fate and the Comic Con panel that dates the cycle of patricide to the beginning of time.The latter however is just as easily explained as Uranus, the creator of the universe, is Kronos's father, and was killed by his son Kronos.
TL;DR Kronos birth is no longer the cause of time beginning. Since the universe came into being, when Ceto struck Uranus, this would of course include time as well.
Miscellaneous
- Zeus (Fear key) - Resistance to Death Manipulation, Resistance Negation, Regeneration Negation (Mid), Curse Negation & Immortality Negation (2, 3, 4, 5 & 8; Could barely withstand touching the Flame of Olympus emanating from Kratos's hands)
- Do note that is strictly the Flame of Olympus, which as Kratos's profile specifies, is but a pale emanation of Hope.
- Lahkesis, Atropos and Clotho
- Range: Low Complex Multiversal (Gods are present across their domains, which at the minimum span all of space and time. The grand Tapestry of Fate encompass all time for all beings, the threads themselves being strands of time, with the Sisters of Fate being repeatedly stated to command the fate of the entire world without exception. This extends even to other dimensions within the Greek World, such as the Underworld, being under the purview of the "whole world", that being the Greek World. Are capable of teleporting between alternate time dimensions)
- Currently, we have the scan from the novel confirming how the branches stretch to infinity. I just wish to add this scan from the script of God of War (2018) (WGA Edition) that makes another confirmation of the tree being infinite.
