Properties[]
As an archetype, a divine mender is an god/goddess/angel/divine entity/higher spirit associated with repairing, restoring, reconstruction, reforming, renovation, recreation, recovery, maintenance, cleaning, improvement, and all their aspects. This grants them absolute knowledge and power over them, their concepts and principles. They would be worshiped by repairmen, mechanics, renovators, cleaners, medics, and custodians. The user could repair physical things, ranging from broken bones or objects to fully restoring a demolished city.
The act of repairing or cleaning, either by worshipers or the user themselves, would empower the user. The user may be able to repair more abstract concepts, such as a broken heart. Divine menders weren't a common feature of worship in polytheistic religions but were important among ancient and current civilizations.
