How many actions can we take per turn?

There isn't much of anything else either.

They're the most glaring.

How many actions can we take per turn?

As many actions as you have acts, though burning through all of them immediately is likely not a good idea.

Only because you believe that the universe needs a reliable light source, and actual life.

Truly, by doing things this way you're taking options away from players. You're forcing them to behave to an exact role. The light God has to create Light, and the forest God has to create life.

Surely, these things would have arosen no matter what Gods you had chosen, but in that case it would have been more interesting and unexpected.

Act bound that can only be used for stuff in the 'Holy' sphere.  However, since he has 4 spheres, it is mutable between his spheres, but only those 4.
And what is the Holy sphere?

Technically, life doesn't have to exist on the firmament. Oh wait, I still have a shitload of Major Acts...

In that case, gravity gets interesting? Or is there none? It's a mystery.

And what is the Holy sphere?

The sphere of acting against destruction of <insert any object/creature/civilization/etc>.

I'm just going to refer to it as a planet because it would wind up being the first thing that comes to mind.

Technically, life doesn't have to exist on the firmament.

If there are going to be ascendants and younger gods, there has to be.  Younger gods come from civilizations believing in them, and ascendants are mortals with power.

Only because you believe that the universe needs a reliable light source, and actual life.

Truly, by doing things this way you're taking options away from players. You're forcing them to behave to an exact role. The light God has to create Light, and the forest God has to create life.

Surely, these things would have arosen no matter what Gods you had chosen, but in that case it would have been more interesting and unexpected.

Edit: I'd rather not argue about this, so let's just drop it.  People are entrenched in their opinions, and due to people being difficult-impossible to have their opinions changed, any large argument would just result in nothing getting done besides anger from both sides.

Seized by sudden wrath, it stomped its foot on the ground with such force that pieces of it detached and flew up into the Aether, and there it suspended them to spite the void that it sought to defeat. Thrice it brought its foot down, and three is the number of pieces that were broken off.

Planets and landforms created with the same amount of power.  Efficient.

In that case, gravity gets interesting? Or is there none? It's a mystery.

That's godly magic for you.

Fuck gravity, they're held up by my DIVINE MIGHT! And everything on them is held down by the same.


Zanzetkuken: does that mean I need another Ultimate Act? It says in the description that Mighty Acts are used to create planets. And I am technically not creating anything, just reshaping stuff I already created on a vastly smaller scale.

How big are the planets?  Depending on their size, since you are reshaping something already created, each might only be regular acts rather than mighty acts.  Ultimate is to create and end the universe, nothing more, nothing less.

So, if I were to build a tower on the planet, facing down towards the Earth, will we see a gradual reduction and eventual flip of gravity, a sudden flip midway, or will it simply extend all the way to the ground.

Does it really matter?  Can't we just assume that gravity on the planets is based on mass, just as normal gravity is?

Also, my action has been declared, where is the light guy?

I'll call it as reduction (from start) to 0 (exact middle) to growth (towards target).

Also, my action has been declared, where is the light guy?

Going to come on soon I would guess, based upon his user stats of posting activity by time.

Since Most Writers are Earthlings, I guess they range from Earth-sized to Jupiter-sized.

I guess I like the gradual reduction idea.
