== '''Overview''' ==
'''Faith''' is a '''fundamental cosmic force''' that permeates the '''Continuum Universes''', serving as the '''foundation of divine power, spiritual manifestation, and metaphysical existence'''. It is not merely a force—it is the '''embodiment of belief''', formed from the '''deep, unwavering convictions of spirits and mortals alike'''.
Unlike other '''universal energies''' that obey fixed laws of physics or magic, '''Faith is shaped entirely by perception, conviction, and devotion.''' This means that, in sufficient concentration, '''Faith can manifest [[Deity|deities]], alter reality, and even reshape existence itself.''' However, it is also '''highly volatile''', as belief is '''constantly in flux'''.

Faith is one of the most '''powerful and unpredictable forces''' in the [[Continuum Universes]]. It has the ability to '''shape [[Deity|deities]], fuel civilizations, and rewrite reality''', but it is also '''unstable''', as belief is ever-changing.
