Matter transmission, cosmic power sources, engineering of galaxies, alternation of physical constants

Social maneuvering, diplomacy, coalition building

Larger-than-life characters facing epic challenges

The entire world/universe/reality is god

Specific servants of "the gods" may be entreated in connection with their personal spheres of influence.

Magic which is composed of a massive body of mostly unrelated spells and rituals. D&D and basic GURPS magic are typical of this style.

Mages, or at least powerful mages, are born, not made.

There are many gods

Prayers by the faithful laity can have a number of set effects, a la Clerical magic in Dugeons and Dragons.

"The gods" may appear to the faithful in visions or through symbolic manifestations
