When a character is endowed with any amount of mythic power, they become a
mythic hero.
As a character is endowed with more mythic power, they reach higher tiers of myth.

| 10 | - | Endowing |
| 14 | 2nd | - |
| 16 | - | Bestowing |
| 18 | 3rd | - |
| 22 | 4th | - |

| 30 | 6th | - |
| 34 | 7th | - |

Mythic power can be sacrificed to to accomplish last ditch efforts of great importance. In sacrificing mythic power,
heroes give up an amount of mythic power to achieve something, possibly lowering their tier, abilities, or even
losing their status as mythic.
Breath of Life: Sacrificing one unit of mythic power, the hero can return someone to life, fully restored as
if by true resurrection. The creature
resurrected must have died no longer than one year ago. This can resurrect even constructs and undead creatures.
When resurrecting undead creatures, it must be stated whether the creature is resurrected as living or undead.
This can also resurrect a creature who is currently undead, in which case the undead creature is immediately
destroyed and then returned as living. This is a full-round action.
Mythic heroes can use their mythic power to enhance other actions. This can have varying results and effects, but usually scales with how much power they spend to enhance that action.
Mythic power can be endowed to other people or objects. It takes 1 minute to endow one unit of mythic power to someone or something else. A mythic hero cannot endow their power if it could cause them to lose the ability of endowing.
Endowed objects contain mythic power that can be used by any mythic hero. Additionally, anyone - mythic or not - can use
an endowed object to "endow" themselves with the mythic power inside. This takes 1 minute per unit of mythic power
and, unlike regular endowing, happens all at once instead of gradually.
Endowed objects are difficult to destroy.
Additionally, endowed objects with at least four units of mythic power count as epic for overcoming DR/epic.
Mythic power can be bestowing upon to other people or objects. It takes 1 minute to bestow any amount of mythic power to
someone or something else. Unlike endowing, a mythic hero can bestow any amount of their power even if it would
make them no longer able to bestow or even if it makes them no longer mythic. Bestowed power cannot be retrieved under
normal circumstances, does not make a character mythic, and is not accessible for use under normal circumstances.
When bestowing, a simple command can be given to the target person or object. If given to a non-intelligent object, the object
attempts to perform the command using its available physical means. The magnitude of change the object can undergo to
perform the command is proportional to the mythic power bestowed to it. This effect can be turned off as a free action and
turned back on as a standard action. If given to a person or intelligent object, the effects will vary based on the command
and the nature and abilities of the person or object.
The longer or more complex the command, the lesser the effect or more varying results the bestowing will have. More
mythic power can be bestowed to mitigate this effect.
