Idea: Godbound in Ersetu . . .
But Zach and Zorian are not Godbound.
Let me explain: Godbound is a ttrpg for new gods ascending to power. In most cases, any magic, gifts, or miracles from a god can outstrip any power from a mortal source. Mortals have to be the best of the best to be considered "worthy" and even have a realistic chance of resisting.
So I thought it'd be funny if some of the people Zorian and Zach completely outstripped of power had the power dynamics reversed.
For fun let's imagine it's Kirielle, Nochka, and Novelty. (If you want to make it less comedy focused we could do Taiven and Kael, but this is a tumblr post so we're going with the gremlins.)
I imagine the Words (Divine domains basically) are Kirielle having Artifice, Music, and Sorcery, Nochka having Beast, Luck, and Deception, and Novelty having Psychic, Knowledge, and Journeying.
Now they go from potential apprentices when they grow older, to actual powerhouses that Zach and Zorian can't stop. Kirielle can make Golems that Zorian can't keep up with, Nochka has information gathering abilities and ways to hide that makes any containment or control impossible for ZZ duo together, and Novelty is now better at mind magic than Zorian once again and can get access to basically any information or place.
Only through the sheer stress of having to manage two divine little girls and one excitable spider, do Zorian and Zach actually get invested in pursuing power just to prevent the continuous dunking on them by their enemies.
