[@KabenSaal] Oh, there is also the concept of elementism, which are mortals who were infected by the winds of change and started to develop djinn like powers of a certain element, most die from that, but some do live, though still losing their soul. One thing I think, that might be an issue, is that a group of mortals shouldn't be able to create a demigod. There are plenty of divine stuff laying around however, and adding one to the ritual could make up for that.
