Switched the cost.

Now will someone please do some characters for these? I'm not incredibly busy but I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do Death. I could probably knock together a Conquest or a War.

Said you wanted a Pratchett like Death, right?

Yep! That'd be great. Pratchett's interpretation of Death is basically the best. Possibly barring Neil Gaiman's version of Death as either the Lady on the Grey or Death of the Endless.

More Real than real then.  Seems to me Worldwalking and Chronomancy type stuff would be best with entropy-like evocations as well as a specialization in Veils.

I would probably make the extra benefit that ability Death has where he shows up and people rationalize like crazy until they think he just looks very skinny but normal, however you would stat that up.  That and/or the ability to show up conveniently whenever someone is about to die.

Human Guise and Supernatural Sense, respectively.

It's not really a sense since technically Death is -always- there already when people do or are about to die.  Unless he's imparting that sense to others who are having a near Death experience and can thus perceive him accurately.

Human Guise is cool, I guess it's really just the narration about how it works that has to change from the typical "You look human." to "You look nothing like a human, but you appear so disconcerting that everyone tries hard to believe you do and for the most part they succeed."

The Eye of Providence and the Teleportation power might work well for an Emissary of Death. She would only have to show up at certain, auspicious deaths in any case.

 Ok so I wanted to make an opposing sponsor for chronomancy. This is what I have come up with, it needs work.

SPACE MANIPULATION [-4]
Description: This is power granted by Spacious, the God of Space.
Sponsor: Spacious, the God of Space, who grants his scions the ability to move freely throughout space (within reason).
Agenda: Spacious works to keep the universe in working order. He uses scions who have the ability to manipulate space, prevent the universe from collapsing.
Evocation: Space Manipulation evocations work by affecting the space around the user, extending or reducing space between two points.
Thaumaturgy: Space Manipulation rituals manipulate space. Teleportation is their most obvious application, but not their only one.
Evothaum: All rituals that may be cast with Space Manipulation may be cast with Evocation's speed and methods.
Extra Benefits: not sure what to put here.

I intend for the two powers be at odds in same way winner and summer are

Spacious? -____-

and this is super cool. For inspiration on what this type of thing can do, it might help to read the tvtropes page Space Master, which I won't link to because i'm not a monster.

Made a couple of minor changes expanding Famine's evocation elements.

If you want Space Manipulation to match up with Time Manipulation, it might be appropriate to make its extra benefit a Supernatural Sense.

Time Manipulation senses temporal anomalies, so Space Manipulation could sense spatial anomalies. But that seems kinda weak, so maybe let it sense space in general. So you can instinctively tell how tall a building is, how far away a monster is, and how big the dark cave you're in is.

I guess you could do something similar for Time Manipulation, letting it be used to sense the current time and stuff like that.

That makes sense, you could have time manipulation have a perfect sense of passing time

How about sensing "perfect" timing and distances as examples of spells?  Not to mention Divinations of how best to take advantage of those perfect times and places.

Or a variation of Guide My Hand, where you Show Up because of timey-wimeu instead of God.
