Although it can't be quantified, within a certain range, Fourth Order Cataclysmics are able to sense feelings from living beings such as 'loyalty,' 'respect,' 'worship,' and 'faith' directed towards themselves.
Moreover, those feelings are like threads, transmitting 'power' over.
That 'power' is weak, but it can be accumulated and practically used to enhance oneself.
This already has the embryonic form of a Deity.
After all, the core of a Deity is to absorb the faith of believers.
The difference between the two is just the efficiency of energy conversion.
And besides that, upon ascending to the Fourth Order, one's spirit grows even stronger, now able to influence reality with pure willpower.
Although unable to destroy heavens and earth, feats like moving objects remotely, flipping books with thought, or even exerting pressure to cause tangible harm are all easily achieved.
