[AlexanderHowl]

You could have it that Pharoahs literally receive magical powers from their position, with the Pharoahs receiving magical traits based on their personality and the population that they oversee. For example, they could receive points for magical abilities equal to the cube root of the population of their nation. In turn, the nobles and priests would receive a similar bonus equal to the number of people of their region or their temple, so the entire ruling class would benefit from having a large population.

In that case, an nation with a population of 8 million would grant its Pharoahs 200 CP worth of magical traits, though the exact nature of the traits would vary. For some Pharoahs, their 200 CP might manifest in Magery 10 (Day Aspected, -40%) [65] and 135 CP worth of spells. For other Pharoahs, it might manifest as physical magical abilities like DR, Flight, etc. For yet other Pharoahs, it might manifest as mental magical abilities, like Clairvoyance, Mind Control, etc.
