| Some deities, rather than specifically bonding with a specific group, will instead create open-ended contracts with any who choose to adhere to specific tenets (or "ideations", hence the name). These tenets/ideations are not specific actions - though many groups of people form certain rites or rituals as a learning aid - but rather are specific concepts, ideals, morals, or philosophies that must be embraced. Those who more fully embrace or embody these tenets tend to receive greater magical benefit, though whether this is due to the deity awarding greater power or simply because rigorous training tends to yield mastery is unclear. | Some deities, rather than specifically bonding with a specific group, will instead create open-ended contracts with any who choose to adhere to specific tenets (or "ideations", hence the name).
