While it is an interesting theorie indeed, what if the reason that God Slayer Magic does not live up to its divine reputation is not because the mages who learned that magic translated it incorrectly but because they got weaker through the peace that they experienced, or because they didn't learn it from gods themselves (which seems the more likely reason)?

When learning something like god slayer from books like the current god-slayers most likely did, it is also possible that while the name of the magic was correct, but the mages themselves made mistakes while learning to use that kind of magic which in turn could weaken the power that they could wield and therefore not living up to the divine reputation of that name?
