Strength - Memetic Magic
a form of memetically based magic that can empower objects or places. It relies on quantity of people, so it will increase over time (think like the concentrated belief of 50,000 mortals to even begin to have a glimmer of the smallest effects). Basically, If enough people believe that an object or place contains some magical property, Strength makes that come true in a limited capacity. It would take millions of believers to create a powerful item or location. Billions if you want to do stuff like consistent resurrection or other wild mega powers. Items or places that are the consistent center of this magic for a long time also slowly increase in their power (like, quite slowly- think every few centuries it increases a noticeable bit)
Strength as an avatar is a non-sentient complex program that basically just operates in enough of a capacity to: A) work people's beliefs into coherent effects and B) spot cool items or places involved in major stuff worldwide and assign those abilities.
Capacity B is basically making minor artifacts or locations out of spots that have significant historical impact- if a nonmagical item kills a demigod for example, or the tomb of the greatest mortal wizard who ever lived. Strength is unique in that they can also apply magical effects to Aldrum, which is only way for a non-god to enchant anti-magic.
To make sure Strength doesn't empower evil dictators, it will ping any ageless or immortal being in 500 miles of the item/place with basically a telepathic chat request. All who accept will be able to share telepathic messages in a mind-forum and vote on if it is approved. If there are more Yes votes than No after 2 weeks, it gets confirmed and made magic.
