What kind of lame god only gained his powers by grabbing a magical weapon?

And what would happen if he/she/it ever let's go of that weapon?

No I prefer the gods that ammased power by other means (like defeating supernatural beings and absorbing their powers, gowing up the "power ladder" untill they finally achieved godhood) or were "born" as gods in the first place.

My most favourite gods are in a way a manifestation of their believer's... well... believe like the forgotten realms gods who's power depends on the number of their followers and the depth of their devotion.

And Warhammer 40K-style manifestations of emotions and/or certain concepts made up of the essence or souls of the dead.
