Chosen

A person that was chosen from birth to bear the blessing from a god.

Requirements

The requirements of becoming Chosen are debated among many scholars, but there is one thing that they can all agree on. They can only be human. There have been no cases of nonhuman individuals being a Chosen.

Appointment

The discovery of a Chosen is usually done by a priest or priestess that can identify the presence of a god's direct influence. Once they are able to determine that someone is Chosen they then start to figure out what their Chosen Gift is. Depending on the Gift, it can take anywhere from moments to years to find out what an individual's Gift is.

Duties

The duties of the Chosen are influenced by their Chosen Gift.

Benefits

Each Chosen has their own Chosen Gift which directly relates to their Chooser. While gifts are unique to whoever holds it, there are some common threads among them that are shared. Gifts are not something that one can reach equivalency of by training and they allow access to divine properties to be infused with their normal magic.
There have been many times that there were Chosen with the same gift, but they were never alive at the same time. Due to this, it is believed that there are a limited amount of Chosen that can be alive at one time due to limit of unique gifts that are potentially available.

History

The First Chosen, who was the first chosen discovered, was a girl by the name of Tora. She was granted with the blessing to create metal out of wood.

Cultural Significance

Being a Chosen has a very different impact depending on the needs of the people and where you live. In the Magus Uni being a Chosen you have a similar role that a high priest would have in the Church of The Three. In other places they are seen as someone with a great heroic destiny ahead of them.
