4.) Having multiple bodies, a la The Necromancer.


  Being able to exist in more than one place at once does not imply 
possessing multiple bodies (it seems the evidence shows that they 
can exist in more than three dimensions, including time, levels of 
existence, etc.).  Even if they had more bodies, they all look the same 
(so far as we've seen; Verra, the other gods).  Sethra has never been 
in the same place as Kiera, which would have been useful in _Jhereg_ 
(and, conventiently, no one ever tried to get into psychic contact with 
Sethra when Kiera was involved in their planning session to try to get 
her help (which would have been useful, since Aliera couldn't use the 
magic they wanted after she was dead)), implying there's only one body.

  So far, I've seen no ev. either that Sethra is able to exist in more than 
one place at once or possesses multiple bodies.
