One idea for the differences between summoned avatars and god comming to
earth avatars is that it costs alot of god-points (i forgot the real
name) for a god to come to mortal plain at will but if they are summoned
it costs little or no points. This way if a lesser god wants to make it
to mortal plain he can get some sap to help him out. But the elder gods
have enough points to do it but at a great cost.
I would also like to stress that it should be very hard to summon a god.
Special componants are needed (like in conan it was that horn thing and
it had to be placed on the statue at a certian time) and a good well
learned priest should have to be there. Im sure there are more ways to
make this hard for mortals to do but i can't think of any at the moment.
