"Plus, you're not the best fighter."
Sakhmet[src]

Enhancement is a kind of miracle some gods of the Pantheon have that grant them a sort of permanent alteration, be it physical or mental. Gods of war and knowledge generally have this miracle associated with them.

Sakhmet, as a goddess of war and one of the best fighters the Pantheon ever had, is greatly enhanced physically. She is stronger,[1] faster,[1][2][3][4] more resistant[3] and have greater reflexes[5] and superior acrobatic skills[5][6] than all other gods, which gives her extreme advantage in battle. No god has been seen capable of defeating her in direct combat, requiring them to make use of surprise effect in order to best her.[3][4][6] Badb, as a goddess of war, also appears to be physically superior to other gods,[5] although not in the same level as Sakhmet.

Both Minerva and Mimir are implied to have superior intelectual skills as a side-effect of being gods of wisdom and knowledge, but since both were considered child prodigies on their own, it's unknown if their godhood actually affects their mental capacities. In 1923, the Norns appear to have superior knowledge, guessing the true nature of the murders and constantly discussing about the future.[7] Also, Mimir can survive with his head separated from his body[8] and gods whose heads are taken for the Ritual can also survive in this state.[8]
