What is the Judgment spell based on? I thought it was the Egyptian goddess Ma'at, the goddess of truth, justice, and balance. Does anyone know? If you know, can you please tell me?

Thank you,

I believe she's based on the Roman goddess Justitia (or "Lady Justice"), which had a Greek goddess equivalent in Dik? (also spelled: Dicé, both of which, loosely, translate to "Justice").

Here are a couple of Wikipedia links to the appropriate articles:

i always though she was based on the woman with the balance in one hand a book of the law in the other, that you usaly see when your watching a crime scene movie or show and there bringing the suspect to justice. you usally see her in gold and a blind fold over her eyes

Thank you! I looked at the article and that looks just like the Judgement spell! I thought it might be Ma'at but I wasn't sure since Ma'at doesn't have a blindfold. Surprising, I would think it'd be based on Egyptian mythology since it's Balance.

the judgement spell is an amalgamation of Ma'at and Themis, the greek god of law and justice.
