Simple version: You know that age-old adage of "You can do anything as long as you believe in it"? That applies here. Literally. Muse just said that Callum had Avatar-like powers in the hope that that would trigger the belief in said powers. If I have this right, the inverse also holds true to some extend. That is, if you have no reason to believe that you are not able to do something, you'll be able to do it. Right, Kaga?EDIT: Also, the BEWD has 3000/2500 in terms of stats. But eh, sidenotes.

Pretty much this.

It works on the principle that everything a roleplayer says/writes in a roleplay becomes "canon" and therefore exists in the Guild world. When you write something, you believe that it becomes part of the roleplay.

Therefore, so long as you believe you are capable of certain things, you can do them. Sorry I didn't explain that to you earlier - I thought I did.

Anyway, that's why Muse said that Callum had a specific set of powers even though he was sort of lying, at least the way he phrased it. Up until this point, he's been telling people, "You can do virtually anything so long as you truly believe you're capable", but that hasn't been working out so well on most RPers. So he told Callum, "These are your powers - trust me because with everything else going on, it's totally believable" hoping he would believe the lie and therefore have said powers. Therefore, when he reveals that he made up the elemental powers thing and explains where those powers [i]really[/i] came from, it'll be easier for the other RPers to believe Muse about the way powers work here - and it'll be easier for them to start utilizing the powers themselves.

Points for speeding up the process?
