Ok so. How is it that saints draw power from the emperor? Its not like he willingly gives it to them. For example (spoiler) euprhati kills a daemon, by pointing her emperor symbol at it. Also she has foresight and knows impossible things. Which tells me the emperor knows what is going on. And lends her his holy divine power. So if he knew why didnt he intervene and stop horus' plan earlier?

The worship and sacrifice people make to the emperor is bringing him away from the "Just a powerful psyker" stage and into the "Powerful Warp Presence" stage. So he's way more powerful now then he was before the HH. At least, that's my theory.

Euphrati was just a latent psyker. She didn't know she had the power, and she didn't gain it from the emperor either.

Spoilers belong in spoiler tags.
In 40K there's power in belief, which in theory could explains acts of the Emperor. For example, Space Wolf runes/wards supposedly work simply because the Wolves so strongly believe they do.

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

I'm inclined to go with the nascent psyker idea for Euphrati myself, coming face-to-face with a daemon like that will do things to a mind.
Now, with regards to the OP.... they call him the God-Emperor for a reason. Trillions of people feed his psychic might with their faith. The Sisters of Battle are amongst the *most* faithful of his servants, and it is from their ranks that the Living Saints come. So.... why is it that he could not willingly give them a mote of his own power?

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised. |
