This is a pretty cool and unique interpretation of Thoth, who I usually see as a more benevolent figure.

The passive...wow, he seems insanely strong at the early game, like an inverse Zhong Kui and his Demon Bag. But this passive is still overpowered. "for each stacking item Thoth buys, the pages become even more divine, and this magical power is doubled." Which means with two stack items, such as Warlock's Sash + Book of Thoth, the passive alone would grant 280 magical power (70 x 2^2).

Perception, assuming I'm interpreting this right, is similarly overpowered. 180% of your magical power means this can beat some ultimates in scaling. Combined with the short cooldown, and the detonation effect allowing a third hit, this ability alone will deal 450 base + 270% of your magical power, as a 8 second cooldown ability. I hope I don't have to explain further.

Destructive Boundaries is weird, but in a good way. It seems fairly balanced, although if it can be placed instantly, it'd be even stronger than Soul Reap as a ganking ability. The silence scaling with level is also inconsistent.

Divinity is...odd. Am I correct in that this is essentially upgrading each other basic ability? I honestly think you need to clarify the "link" and how it works before I can make any judgements on this.

The ultimate is fine. Karthus ult, blah blah. But you didn't put a cooldown.

Overall, this god feels way too stronk. His passive suggests a power surge in the early game, but judging by his fantastic scalings and high burst, he remains just as strong in the late game. And seriously, 280 power is scary. Hell, even if it were 140 MP, it'd still be too strong, since stacking Doom Orb is possible at level 5 or earlier. I do not look forward to potentially 280 MP at level 5-8 (Doom Orb + 140 MP from passive), when other mages have around 90.

Now, for my advice for tweaks.

(Suggestion for Perception: If this is a ranged harass/waveclear ability, like Backfire, then it needs to deal less damage. 40% scalings, I think, would be perfect.)

I'm sorry I couldn't be more thorough, but the three is simply too murky for me to tell anything.

This looks extremely interesting and well done! You should put this on the Smite Godconcept subreddit or the official forums, so that more people can see! This is a very different and unique approach to Thoth, and I love it! It's bloody amazing!

EDIT; I absolutely LOVE the lore you've made for him! Again, a very unique and uínterresting approach to Thoth!

Very interesting, haven't seen many suggestions for Thoth while he was rendered as one of the most important gods! Is the 3rd ability a stance change? Very unclear and his passive seems a bit too empowering. But I see you put your time into it, is that your drawing?

@Subzero Thanks man, I see my flaws. I reverted the Book of the Dead, nerfed Perception, put a casting time on Destructive Boundaries and removed the fear scaling, and further explained Divinity.

With Thoth's first ability, think of it as pretty similar to Ahri's Q and his second ability similar to Karthus' W. Divinity is my own special and the ult is well...self explanatory. Divinity is my own creation. I tried explaining it as best as I could, but it's quite hard.

@Vultoko Thank you! From what I know, Thoth preached knowledge like Jesus preached God. Having gone into war, he never stopped seeking the knowledge he so desperately achieved. Anyone can become corrupt. Even a god.

@Greenrivers Done and Done. And no, unfortunately it isn't my drawing. I don't have a scanner. :c

Hope you guys liked this one, because I got Set coming shortly after! :D

Cool, I suggest trying to figure out what Horus would be like

Horus was definitely on my list. Set interested me more, and I know a bit more about him.

As said, I really think you should put this on the forums and subreddit, as your idea will get a lot more attention.
