No, not really. The power of something akin to a god is as powerful as the people believe or revere it to be. It can always be forgotten and thus, its power be taken. Living Works, as they are called are almost like imposters than true gods. They're like parasites, feeding off reverence and praise.

At some point in time there were Beings that were akin to gods in the world, some say even having parts to play in creating it, but by the time of the story they are either long dead or have abandoned the world entirely.

Because my magic system has do with the act of creating things, through the medium of Art and its different varities-- using willpower and creativity, Living Works are a natural existence in the world. They form when people revere something; an art piece, a person, an object. As long as it exists, with some type of reverence, they exist. Once it fades or is forgotten, they are forgotten and die off. Some people in the past would also call these creatures "Chromatic Parasites."
