I like this theory!

I unfortunately am a bit pushed for time, but I'll try to go through my concepts on the anima and god sections at least.
If we look at SoJ, and how it changes the lifeless Rock around it into stores for elemental energy, it seems odd that small rocks of supposedly anima store are able to hold energy, while we are entirely unable to.
As you say, magic is fueled by anima. This would imply to me less that this power is held in anima, and more that anima is converted to said energy. This would then imply that there is a seperate type of 'refined' anima, which is what is magic. This would then mean that rune stones are magic holds, holds for refined magic. This means there is some process, related to the elder gods, that makes matter able to hold refined anima.
This is then what makes me believe beings consist not only of anima and mind, but also of this 'hold', the capability to store refined anima. Something about worlds, worlds with high magical content at least, leads to some beings gaining this 'hold'. Humans however, coming from a magicless world (notably still possibly with anima however), have not developed this magic hold portion of their being.
What the stone does, and seemingly other elder artifacts, is increases and fills this 'hold' in beings. Zamorak is a prime example of this. In BoL, he loses his tier due to the expenditure and loss of his energy in his hold. He cannot gain it back until the heist, in which he fills up his current 'hold' again. Unless you are a tier 2 God, you cannot replace energy in your hold without an elder artifact, thus Sliske's 'addiction'. This is also what differentiates gods to mortals. They become entirely holds and mind, losing what little anima they may have. The lunar individuals had brief exposure to he stone, giving them this hold, and thus able to use magic without rune holds. They are still for the most part anima though.
Alas I am out of time, but I will continue later
. Good thread regardless!
