((Yes, but it's still a moral alignment. It doesn't fit into any of the planned fuel sources.))
((No, dark is dark. It's the opposite of light, as well as the opposite of good in certain fiction. Presumably, Light and Dark magic are opposites, but it's entirely possible that Dark magic is specifically magic that makes things darker. And that would be fine with me.))

((Oh, you mean it's eminating literal waves of... uh, anti Phosphoromancy? It's like an anti-sun?

*Checks list of magic applications* Pyromancy... Kinetimancy... Magnetomancy... I don't have light based magic anywhere on here. I guess I can dig it. We'll just say it had True Word slathered all over it during world-gen.

Very well. You may have your moon.))

((Gimme three/four to infinity turns (and some assistance if you want to make the RNG be not a little bastard.) and I'll have the Magic Fuel Sources and Schools of Magic all laid down. In either case, I have names for every fuel(There are ten, three common, two uncommon, four exceedingly rare, and Belief.) and school(There are fifteen, with one or two that are 'holy fuck' rare, one vastly moreso than the other.))

((I completely forgot about that whole aspect of this. I genuinely thought we were just RPing out Nirur's next setting or something. Actually, what I was playing sounds much more fun than 'try to build a cult'.))
((Standard game. If there is even one point in the timeline that would make a good setting, or even a mash of multiple points, all the better.))

((The chlorine gives -1 to creating flora and -2 to creating fauna.))

{2}+1-1=2 - Despite their constant squabbles, the minor gods create a fungus to remedy the lack-of-decay problems. The chlorine kills it.

{4} - Auphanim creates a network of magical leylines beneath the surface of the planet. There are three branches, leading from The Caged One, each supplies a different continent. There are 2-3 major concentrations per continent, discounting the massive concentration in his mountain. Small leylines are scatterd throughout each continent. He doesn't get around to making leyline geysers.

{1} - Ar'kahal, apparently bad with chemistry, modifies the Maka trees' respiratory cycle to involve exuding poison from their roots. It's shiny and multi-spectral.

{3} - Yon encourages her Thoquas to love each other. They aren't intelligent, but sorta do so anyway. Depending on semantics.

Neyravah tries but fails to make moons, unable to gather enough ambient Power to do more than create a few pebbles in an unstable orbit over the planet.

{5}+1-2=4 - The Maka trees on continent 1 continue their sluggish growth.
{4}+1-2=3 - The Maka trees on continent 3 have their progress halted by the fungal failures.

{3} - The Thoquas have been slow at mutating. Once they reach a certain size, they have trouble digging their way back to the heat, and tend to die. The colors spread. They mostly ignore the leylines.

{6}-3=3 - The Gribbers remain just shy of a fatally small population, managing to not die off from the Maka poison.

Create a species of small burrowing insect that will eat almost anything, from flesh to steel. Their waste will fertilize the soil. Call them Drill Beetles.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

Make sure they dont attack Thoquas or Gribbers. They may still eat their corpses though.

Yon, sneaking a glance at the space around the planet, takes the time to speak to the dragon once more.

"Observe, you of two heads - you may only create when you are unopposed. Such are the facts, and you have demonstrated them. Can we lay the argument of divine differences to rest at last?"

Teach the Thoquas to group around magical leylines and siphon their power to grow greater and mutate more.
