a/n: Alright everyone, here’s the first Egyptian God and Magician’s headcanons! I think I did alright and tried to pair back from canon egyptian lore from the Riordanverse as well as real life history, at least as much as I can with online resources. Hopefully I did Osiris justice. Hope you all enjoy this and have a nice day! Thanks for reading! EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}
Osiris bloodline and connection is not very common, nearing rare, given his position as the God of the Dead and Living, and is generally occupied with managing the Duat. That said, his connection to his host and those related to him is maintained with their strong practice and focusing on the realm of death; particularly keeping in mind of Egyptian practices and values.
Osiris’ Path of the Gods features Death Magic, Necromancy, Healing Magic, and Animation. If you’re particularly connected to Osiris, you find yourself having a talent in those realms of magic and comes most easily to you. All have their own challenges that may be easier or not due to your own beliefs.
Osiris when you manage to connect with him, tells you that the power you are about to wield and should you go down this path, he puts the stipulation that you must use these powers selflessly and without abuse. He is the god of the Dead and Living, and given his position, he is very serious about this role. You may have a connection with him and while he wants to encourage your pursuit of knowledge with a fatherly, scholarly enthusiasm, he has seen what corrupt men mishandle the knowledge given and use it unjustly.
That said, with the persona of Julius Kane, he is readily available when he is able to answer questions you may have and guide you through with both the perspective of a researcher and father. This makes learning the path of Osiris easier in the sense you are guided with steady hands but at the same time, harder because you still have to stumble through mistakes and feel the everbearing weight of Osiris’ eyes.
A side-effect of having connections with Osiris is that you are susceptible to being in his memories. Adding to the fact that he is alive and dead, you feel torn between being alive and dead, literally feeling the weight of existentialism. Whenever you dig down into the power of Death Magic and Necromancy, you can feel the ghost of its power wash over you, as you’re more intune with that realm of power. If you use those magic too much, you inevitably connect yourself with Osiris too much and you live his memories of dying, being cut up, and being put back together again. Osiris does his best to console you and be there for you, but there’s not much he can do since this is the cost of connecting with Osiris directly and going down his path of the gods.
Depending how young you are, Osiris does not recommend you practicing Death Magic and Necromancy too much over Animation And Healing magic, his reasoning that while both life and death are both connected and balanced, you should not be so quick to learn of the realm of death any faster.
It's for this reason Animation magic and ‘Sunu’ Healing magic is something Osiris encourages you to participate in regularly, whether you like it or not. Sure he’s no Sekhmet with the path of healing, but it reminds you that you are alive and its good for you to be surrounded with Life. Healing Magic has it draws though because on one hand, the feedback of feeling someone else's' pain through healing magic is numb on you but it also rushes through you, like you were giving a splash of cold water. When it comes to healing magic, your best as healing wounds, injuries, and physical forms of pain because the relation of the body with Osiris. However it comes to dealing with curses, and other things, that’s less in your wheelhouse unless you deliberately work on it yourself.
However, with being connected to Osiris, your healing magic is powerful in the sense you could bring back someone to life. However, the temptation with the Eye of Osiris at the precipice of your abilities is hard to resist because it can bring someone back to life permanently. Osiris agrees there may be cases that you could theoretically use it for unjustified or unplanned death, however, he stresses that all things have their places. The part of Julius Kane in him agrees with the temptation and lull of it, and there may be a time to use it, but only once and only truly.
With your connection to Osiris, you can see the dead, ghosts, and other related spirits much more easily. You feel obligated to hear their words, help them along back to the Ma’at when able to, and basically act as Osiris’ agent.
While I may have said that with Julius Kane as his persona, you still have to deal with Osiris being in your head. Osiris may seem like a pretty approachable persona but as he becomes more assured in your magician abilities, he isn’t exempt from wanting to be in control. Whenever he sees an injustice done by a ghost in the living world, he makes you go deal with it or he would deal with it himself, making you perform rites to make sure it is done properly. That or as Julius Kane, often has you dropping by the Kane siblings to pass on messages and the such. He’s still their father after all. You end up being in close contact with the Kane siblings because of this.
Although not often, when you do meet Ammitt, the demon is always happy to see you and you can’t help giving her the puppy voice and many pets. Osiris tells you to only call her by her name respectfully, but you still can’t help it.
