* OurGodsAreDifferent: In the Codexverse, deities as a whole are MadeOfMagic and come in three categories: Elementals, Ethereals, and Ascendants. Deities can be born from various cosmic, abstract, and elemental phenomena, and generally start out as simple lifeforms that gradually develop a complex sapience and intelligence as they grow, until they obtain godlike power and status. However, as shown by many Codex entries, it is possible for mortals to Ascend to godhood, hence the Ascendant category, by achieving a certain level of apotheosis and enlightenment that would later influence the domains they would get after Ascending. Deities are capable of assuming physical forms and biological reproduction, spawning Elemental/Ethereal/Ascendant hybrids depending on the type, and unlike mortals, their aging processes are completely different - deities only become more powerful and eldritch as they grow older, with the oldest of them being feared and incomprehensible to mortals. This aspect of divinity is especially prominent with Alicorns, who gain more wings and an ethereal, eldritch appearance the older they get, with Queen Mzazi and Emperor Golden Scepter being two such examples of ancient Alicorns. Because of the relative accessibility to godhood for mortals, many mortal factions/individuals have tried creating shortcuts to godhood or streamlining the process to make it a little easier to undergo, with the Alicorn Ascendancy being one such example of these attempts. However, because of the complex nature of Ascension and divinity in general, many of said attempts had failed disastrously.

** Prince Sermo's domain of Newscasters doesn't seem like much compared to other common concepts like Integrity, Research, and Knowledge, but it's actually [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower more powerful than it appears]]. Being a god of Newscasters grants him telepathic and telekinetic abilities, some degree of [[MakeSomeNoise Sound magic]], the ability to create holographic projections, and the ability to [[{{Omniglot}} instantly understand and speak any language]].

** Sultana Sahra's domain of Exploration doesn't seem like much, but it prevents her from getting lost no matter where she is, and she can create maps from magic alone, which is a very useful power to have for avid explorers like her. Her PhotographicMemory also allows her to remember places she previously visited so she can go back to them whenever she wants.
** Prince Crystal Clear's domain of Stage Crews doesn't seem as common or impressive as Sound or Technology, yet as is the case with Sermo's domain of Newscasters, it's actually more powerful than it looks. he possesses telepathic, empathic, and telekinetic powers for communication/coordination and multitasking, respectively, and he has precognitive abilities that allow him to protect his stage crews from accidents. He can also heal his co-workers and grant them various boons that allow them do their jobs more effectively, such as enhanced stamina and endurance.

This is because he believed that further injury to himself was "well-deserved" and [[DeathSeeker not caring if he would end up dying or not]]. It would be deconstructed in that Golden Scepter saw this as excessive self-torture that wouldn't really solve anything except encourage people to [[NeverMyFault put blame on someone else rather than take responsibility for their own mistakes]]. After taking Crimson Star to the royal infirmary to recover from wounds given by [[BigBrotherBully Fanged Paw]], Golden Scepter would call out his son for forsaking everything, including his own life, for the sake of atonement while not caring about how his death might affect those who love him, and points out that there are ''better'' ways for him to make amends.

By all considerations, it is a wonderous PowerSource: its ubiquitous presence across the cosmos makes its availability theoretically unlimited with proper extraction, its high energy potential makes it perfect for energizing any extreme high-performance machineries and technological systems (such as a CombiningMecha), and as a bonus it has beneficial empowering effects to any biological lifeforms with even some '[[EvolutionaryLevels evolutionary potential]]', such as 'Second Age' Ponies. The problem? Shinka Rays are very volatile and unstable even in containment, and its tendency of degrading non-organic metals and materials makes containment a difficult challenge to begin with. And if containment breaks, its catastrophic meltdowns could quite literally ''vaporize whole islands and cities''. And it has a nasty tendency of causing both biological and non-biological stuff to fuse together, causing runaway biological evolutions, and can cause sapient beings who are exposed to too much of its effects to go berserk on top of being empowered by it. It was not until the wonderous magical 'Third Age' tens of thousands of years that Ponykind and others figured out how to properly contain and harness them to their full potential.

It's also noted that outside of his domains, he is a powerful psychic who specializes in [[{{Seers}} precognition]], but after Ascending, his domains greatly enhanced his abilities despite not embodying Psionics.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis:
** When Moon Ray Vaughoof forgave his father, Sunny Mane, for his foalhood abuse, he decided to repeat himself by punctuating his words in case his father's spirit decided to ignore him. It worked, as it's heavily speculated InUniverse that Sunny Mane was left shaken upon being forgiven by one of his sons who he once terrorized.
---> '''Moon Ray Vaughoof:''' ''(to Sunny Mane)'' And if you think you can just shut me out, I'll say it again and again: I forgive you, Pops. '''''I. Forgive. You.'''''

*** Much like [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Primarch Sanguinius]], Prince Bright Eyes has precognitive abilities, but except as the Alicorn demigod of Prophecy, his foresight is on a greater scale than those possessed by even his older brother, Crimson Star.Star. His entry notes that he is skilled in psionic magic, bearing abilities like telepathy and psionic telekinesis, though he admits that Crimson Star is more powerful than him. His psychic powers allowed him to hear Rosy Dreams' telepathic cries for help, though he and Written Word had to be guided to Rosy's home by the spirit of Dust Bunny, Rosy's maid, in order to rescue the filly from [[AbusiveParents Sweet Words]].

* Moon Ray Vaughoof's entry notes that he's a powerful psychic who specializes in [[{{Seers}} precognition]], and his Ascension enhanced his prophetic dreams to the point where they're more potent than Bossa Nova's. However, training under the Three Deaths led to him manifesting other abilities like [[MindOverMatter psionic telekinesis]], telepathy, and [[TheEmpath empathy]]. His Death domain also gives him [[SpiderSense clairvoyance]] that allows him to sense people's impending deaths.
