Turn 1: Darkness and Light


Mesphyn awoke. It could not see. The darkness surrounded it, threatening to snuff out the sole flame. It cried out in denial, in defiance. Flames burst from the wings-
LET THERE BE LIGHT
[5] You flare your wings magnificently, brilliant flames reaching out from them and illuminating the darkness around you.

...it's a bit hard to hold like this, though. You suspect you'll have to stop at some point.

+1 Power

Oristor will make a guardian purely from my white and black flames that will roam around the world.
[3] A greyish thing of flame plops out, looking like little more than a ball of light grey fire with stubby arms and a bit of tail.

Of course, there is no world, so it mainly just crawls around on you.

Lokas brooded and waited, ever watching.

Pass.
You watch and wait.

Ochita looked calmly apon the void, taking in the infinite nothingness, shrugging that off, he decides to wait, and yet... Something should be done..

From his azure-water hair, Ochita creates a ball of bright-blue, fairly large.
[6][1] You create a ball of large water, but it grows too large, and its inner glow turns to a hungry, sucking darkness. The end result is a sphere of crushing abyss, devouring light and drawing in anything else it can to a place where there's no escape.

+1 Power

Uh, my new action will be...Uh...

Gently pull some whiskers off, to create a vast, square plain of rock. Around a mile by a mile in size, and a mile thick.

[4] You create a rough cube of stone, floating in the void. It's fairly massive by some measures, but still nowhere near a proper region.

His prayer having been answered, Irotas creates pale stones out of clippings from his fingernails.
[3] You create a pile of dull, somewhat lumpy rocks. There's no place to put them.

It cried out once more, having established itself in this world. The eternal void had no sway over it, how could anything else?
Use the point to establish light itself here.

Jelki will turn some of the stone into mindless golems, in the shape of his own human form. Imbue them with a shred of hair to grant them some form of sentience. Or something like that, anyways.

Grant the being with knowledge about what is happening and imbue it with one of my scales in order for it to recognize that it shall record all of history.

"Goodness, I've made a real mess with my rocks. I know! I'll make somewhere to put them so that I don't trip on them later."
Irotas attempts to form a region from the bits of pale stone, so that things will no longer be forced to float through empty space.

Pebbles and light, how interestingly simple! Let's bottle up some of that Phoenix's flame and a few of the Mad One's rocks and put them together. Then we just send them off...there!

Imbue some of Irotas' rocks with Mesphyn's flame and then send them off travelling random paths in existence. 'Comets' or 'wandering stars' if you will.

Turn 2: Fire


It cried out once more, having established itself in this world. The eternal void had no sway over it, how could anything else?

((Is creating what's essentally the sun acceptable?))
[6][4+1] You create a massive flaming ball of incandescent light. It's very, very shiny.

+1 Power

((A sun-like object would probably require additional reagents, cooperation, several turns, etc, but yeah. You've got a decent first try here, even.))

Jelki will turn some of the stone into mindless golems, in the shape of his own human form. Imbue them with a shred of hair to grant them some form of sentience. Or something like that, anyways.
[1] You end up creating slithering, tentacled things made of stone, making them mindless then granting them sentience. Kind of roundabout, but it gets the job done.

Grant the being with knowledge about what is happening and imbue it with one of my scales in order for it to recognize that it shall record all of history.
[6][5] The guardian's eyes alight with inner fire, rainbow flames burning within its light grey. You catch the vague glimmer of scales amongst its flames, and it spits out a scale inscribed with the history of its augmentation.

+2 Power

Irotas attempts to form a region from the bits of pale stone, so that things will no longer be forced to float through empty space.
[3] You form a rather large pile of pale gravel. Of course, "large" in this context means large enough to build a city in.

Imbue some of Irotas' rocks with Mesphyn's flame and then send them off travelling random paths in existence. 'Comets' or 'wandering stars' if you will.
[3] You create some shiny flaming rocks, but they're not really visible except from up close.

Hmm...not as useful as I thought. Perhaps they would be more useful in orbit...? No, no I've been doing this wrong. Perhaps a little of these and a little of that....

Take some of my celestial chitin and from it form several small planetoids in orbit around Irotas' gravel.

Irotas tries to lay down on the hard stone pile, but it's too hard to be comfortable. "This isn't right! I can't defend the world against sanity if I have nowhere to rest. But it's nice and warm with all of this light. Maybe I can use a bit of that to make something soft."
Irotas creates life from a few strands of his hair infused with Mesphyn's blue flame: A type of silvery grass which is as soft as silk and as warm as the air on a sunny day. He plants them on the gravel mound.

OOC: Divine Waitlist Addition:

Malus, God of The Wild(Can be skewed as either Nature or Wild Magic, either works well for my purposes.)

Appearance: The physical incarnation of Malus varies from setting to setting, whim to whim, era to era. If there was ever one to be called his favorite, it would be a faun. The constants in all of his appearances are his eyes glowing an abnormal yellow; a very slight and almost unnoticeable increase in size; and immense magical power─enough to affect his appearance, no matter how he tries to control it─this can manifest as glowing blue leylines covering his body, mutations, or sometimes, rarely, in tattoos.

Personality: Malus has a tendency to act cruel and overprotective. He has difficulty understanding the concept of morality, or the impact of his actions. Malus takes joy in living and interacting with his creations, rather than as an impartial judge hovering over them.

Turn 3: Oooh, Shiny


Hmm...not as useful as I thought. Perhaps they would be more useful in orbit...? No, no I've been doing this wrong. Perhaps a little of these and a little of that....

Take some of my celestial chitin and from it form several small planetoids in orbit around Irotas' gravel.

[6][3] The planetoids are faintly luminescent, glowing visibly in the sky as they orbit the gravel fields. They're still lumpy and misshapen and small, though.

+1 Power

Irotas tries to lay down on the hard stone pile, but it's too hard to be comfortable. "This isn't right! I can't defend the world against sanity if I have nowhere to rest. But it's nice and warm with all of this light. Maybe I can use a bit of that to make something soft."
Irotas creates life from a few strands of his hair infused with Mesphyn's blue flame: A type of silvery grass which is as soft as silk and as warm as the air on a sunny day. He plants them on the gravel mound.
[5] You create just that- warm, soft, silvery grass that seems to bend and sway as though it's underwater.

+1 Power

Ochita gazed at his creation, and shook his head.

Jelki, disappointed with such failures, will go around and aid anyone else in their tasks.
The blackness displeased it, and thus it acted.
Help Ochita.
[4][1] The combined efforts of Jelki and Mesphyn largely cancel out, Jelki providing glowing power while Mesphyn contributes light-devouring black flame.

[4] Ochita himself has somewhat better success, managing to reduce the orb's light-devouring to a minimal level. It still doesn't glow as he'd like it to, though.

Imbue Lokas's rocks with my scales in order to reflect more light and thus be see-able.
[6][5] You imbue the stones to become vibrant glittering rainbows of color. They're now visible from very, very far away.


[3] The slithering stone things, being the first sapient race, decide to try to build a settlement. It's more of a collection of wormholes.
