Well, I have played my share of empowered folks, heroed too many, and I can tell you from experience, you either be prepared to wait it out or play another type of character.
Galadriel is often on, you just dont see her, but when she speaks with you, it is quite special. Once she empowered my as I was walking along the eastern road, no fanefare, just "You have been empowered by the Gods". Hers and others tattoo in much the same way...often it comes as a surprise.
I begin my interaction with god through scrolls of introduction, what I am doing, what I think and feel, where I have been, what I have seen, and so on. By the time I seek the actual interview, the God can tell me what I am doing right/wrong. I always begin each communer anew, no previous knowledge, all is a wonder. Of course I cannot help possessing knowledge, I just dont let it out. When asked about cetain, locations for ranking, if this character hasnt been there, I dont know the way until led by another.
But, I digress. Empowerment isnt for everyone as Invokers arent due to both requiring a massive time investment to be done correctly. Live with it because that's the way it is.
