Burned through my powers.

( Which, considering she's still talking through gritted teeth, is meant as literally as it gets. She has little doubt that if she could see into the state of her veins, they'd be nothing but a smouldering wreck.

Worth it? You'd have to consult the other gods for that. )

( She'll enter into discussions about whether it was meaningful when her body doesn't feel like it's on fire. Probably.

For now: ) Heal my power vessels. ( If he can bring her (and others) back from the dead, surely he can manage this, right?

...Thanks for that.

Good.

You are welcome.
