Divine Mixture

The Divine Mixtures (神威混淆(ディバインミクスチャ) ) are a group of capital defense spiritual items, derived from European interpretations of Egyptian Mythology, designed by Coronzon for use against Aleister Crowley.

Principles
The Divine Mixtures originate from twisted interpretations of ancient Egypt and its mythology by Europeans, specifically from the ancient Greeks. When they crossed the Mediterranean and saw the architecture and culture of Egypt, they didn't properly understand it all. As is often the case when people are confronted with what they don't understand, and having pride in their own intelligence and culture, believing themselves to be the world standard, the Greeks, deciding that the gods of Egypt must be the same ones they believed in but given different names by the locals. When they returned home and described what they had seen, mixing in their own biases, misconceptions and preconceptions, it was transformed into something quite different from the original. The distorted imagining of Egyptian mythology and culture has persisted since then. The Divine Mixtures themselves are based on the Greeks matching Egyptian gods to Greek gods with similar roles. Their names consist of an Egyptian deity following by the matched Greek equivalent, and they are meant to display power associated with that combined divinity. As Greek were mostly just matching major gods so they felt as though they understood them, not all of the pairs fit together well and as such, there is a limited supply of viable mixes.

When the Divine Mixtures are activated and connected to the ley lines, they begin to construct new scenery and gradually change the surrounding landscape into that of ancient Egypt as viewed and imagined by the Europeans. Giant rectangular stone blocks, the size of shipping containers, rain down from the sky and pile up to build square pyramids, of the sort used as royal tombs, and observatories. Stone pillars the size of broadcast towers and statues of historic pharaohs rise up from the ground. These structures appear and disappear on their own. Flat, perspectiveless wall art, comprised of Egyptian-associated writing and diagrams, is inscribed on vertical surfaces. The atmosphere starts to shift to that of the Egyptian desert and the faint clouds of sand float about before settling, gradually covering the horizontal surfaces. Associated wildlife is also produced, including camels, African elephants, scorpions, cobras and crocodiles.

While the Divine Mixtures have considerable destructive power if they are connected to the ley lines and let loose, they cannot display their full potential when they are just used in this way (apparently less than 1% of it). In order for the Divine Mixture to display its true power, a person must offer up their body and fuse with the god. With the host's viewpoint and the capacity for biases and prejudices which a mere tool doesn't have, they become capable of utilizing the aspects of bias and preconception, derived from the Greeks' refusal to accept the new gods they had discovered and making comparisons with no concern for the original Egyptian myths. The Divine Mixture takes the intolerance, malice and refusal of individuals to understand one another, and converts it into offensive power. It functions in a similar way to an electrical, with the life force circulating with two bodies in place of two connected coils of different sizes, and stabilizes its power the greater the rift between the individuals. In order to maintain the values required for this power, the Divine Mixture distorts its host's perception to prevent them from being swayed. It was also intended that the Qliphah Puzzle 545 would be used in conjunction with the Divine Mixtures in order to maximize and sustain this effect.

There are several aspects of the Divine Mixtures which are meant to be utilized in their role as anti-Crowley weapons. Firstly, the interpretations that form the basis of the spiritual items are not ones made through the theories of modern Western magic. Aleister's work forms the foundation of modern Western magic and as such, he can neutralize magic constructed from understandings made through that filter, meaning modern Western magic is ineffective in harming him. As the Divine Mixtures are not of this format, Aleister cannot neutralize them in the same way and they are capable of harming him. Secondly, when used in their proper way, the host's perception is distorted. This means that Aleister's primary offensive magic, Spiritual Tripping, which relies on driving images into a target's mind through gestures and drawing out destructive power from their imagination, will likely not function properly. Thirdly, Aleister's mentality is poorly suited for dealing with the Divine Mixture's true power of converting and weaponizing mutual intolerance.

The Divine Mixtures are stored in British Museum, with documents concerning their usage kept at Lambeth Palace. When inactive, they take the form of decorations made of gold and diamonds, transforming into another form when activated and connected to the ley lines or to a host:

Background
The Divine Mixtures were designed and developed at some point in the past by Coronzon, in the guise of Archbishop Lola Stuart, for use against Aleister Crowley. The was likely used as a reference during their construction.

Coronzon Arc
The Divine Mixtures were deployed during the Crowley's Hazard invasion of the United Kingdom when the final barrier of the England-Londinium Fortress was neutralized, allowing the Crowley army to enter London. Their activation transformed the capital's scenery into that of Egypt, as seen through the eyes of Europeans. However, as the defenders of London were not fully aware of how they were meant to be used, most of them were not utilized to full effect and they were eventually destroyed,   with only Isis-Demeter inflicting any serious damage to Aleister Crowley.
