The reason why Aqua gains so much mana from her followers and only her followers is because, and you probably already know this, a deity's power is centered around belief. Meaning the more followers a deity has, the more powerful and influential they become (hence why Eris has both a massive cult and even her own currency). My theory is that devotion also plays a part in this as well. Perhaps someone with enough devotion to a deity can give said deity a massive amount of power all on there own, and maybe even create their own deity.

A deity's power is mainly centered around belief, so maybe this is how a deity is created in the first place. The created deity heeds the call of its creator and performs miracles around the world in order to spread influence, thus gaining more power.

Maybe I'm just spitballing here and you can take all this with a grain of salt, but this is just my theory.

But such a theory leads to one question. Who is stronger? A deity's divine power or a human being's imagination?

The effect or the cause?

Ancient astronaught theorists are still trying to solve this problem to this day.
