What do you mean, “why”?

Went to the office, ate a pad thai, did some work.Train was late on the way back, probably because someone was an idiot on the tracks, but not so late that I couldn’t feed the cats on time.

Read (manga): Dandadan vol 14 (Yukinobu Tatsu): More huge fight against aliens, some plotlines even got resolved. I’m sure there will be new ones any minute, though, since there’s not danger of running out of weirdos

Written (game design): 256:

Since we’re repudiating any distinction between arcane and divine magic,
drawing circles and burning incense and chanting is obviously prayer
stuff, invoking greater powers to do the thing. What the greater powers
think of this or how they implement it is obviously ineffable. Are these
the same entities from the higher realms that can appear as monsters? I
don’t think so, those are from the cosmic horror side. What humans pray
to are embedded in the same flow of the universe that Harmony harmonizes
with, ex-humans providing an interface that isn’t people any more, but
similar enough to translate between religious ceremony and fundamental
forces of the universe.

(The higher realms aren’t places, they’re states of being in a completely
different way. In theory you could translate someone from the world to
be something in the higher realms, but it wouldn’t be the same person,
probably not even a person at all. Why does it work the other way? You’d
understand after the translation process.)

When I say the gods or ancestors or saints or whatever aren’t people, I
mean you can’t have a conversation with them and get them to just answer
questions or give you that little bit more power for your really good
cause. You do the thing, the flow of the universe is altered (lose
Harmony) in accordance with the opaque rules. In a lot of cases the
thing may be saying what you want to have happen, but you can’t just say
whatever and hope to get anything.
