@TheEdVerse So, in the same vein as we've been discussing, are other gods capable of creating chosen just like Mystra's and just don't? Or does that level of chosen take a mandate from Ao to create?

1)
In theory, other gods could create Chosen of the sort that Mystra does, but that means giving up some of your divine power to a mortal forever, lessening yourself and losing control over it AND the mortal—and calling in Ao 2)
…to enforce that upon you. Gods just aren’t that generous.#Realmslore
