Whats the difference between human and Nephalem though? Simply the same generation, but mutated over time or something?
Distant generations of the same lineage, but yes the powers seemed to have changed to less "specialized". Rathma had really only necromantic powers, where as Uldyssian had a more diverse set of powers.
Think of it kind of like this, you have some black paint (demon) and some white paint (angel). Then you mix a little of both several different times, you'll never get the exact same shade of gray. Then you take those varying shades of gray and mix those. No shades will ever likely be exactly the same. Each time mixing shades of gray you'd have to undo each time to get back to black and white. That's how I like to view it at least.
Humans have come to be MORE than Nephalem. Trag'Oul and Rathma even say it.
Uldyssian: You... you are like us... Rathma: No, I am unlike you or any of those who follow you. I cannot explain, but what you call the "gift" has metamorphosed. There are abilities that I have that you do not just as you bear some I am lacking. I suppose this should not so surprise me since I am from the very first generation birthed on Sanctuary...
Rathma: You said he was too weakened by her to do this! Trag'Oul: He is different! They would all be different! They are no more nephalem than you are human! They are more-
Just got done discussing this in another thread/reading this part of the books.
So to me it seems like humans are more than Nephalem now, their powers may have been dampened temporarily but they have much more potential. Just as the Nephalem had more potential than the angels/demons.
