[Andres]

Lord Malakath officially apologises for permanently killing the Golems and Gremlins. Emphasis on 'permanently'.
Lord Lecta defines the battle-sibling's blood bond:

Spoiler: Battle-Sibling Blood Bond (click to show/hide)

A bond between two warriors that improves their ability to fight in unison. If one of the warriors is killed, the warrior's soul will co-inhabit the body of the living warrior giving them a large, temporary boost in power, even greater than fusion.

More than two warriors can be part of the bond. In such a case, the warrior's soul will remain for the remainder of the battle and increase their team-fighting ability. Once only a single warrior remains, the other warriors' souls will co-inhabit the living one's soul and give it a proportionally large, temporary boost in power.

As the name of the bond suggests, the bond will only affect close friends.

All warriors who die in battle after taking the blood bond will go to the Heavenly Plane, save for one exception. If a warrior purposefully kills their battle-sibling on purpose and without their consent, the warrior will die and go to the Shadow Realm.

Malakath Lecta, goddess of Souls, looks upon the art of soul-manipulation and saddens by the way it is seen as a taboo magic. With a name such as 'Necromancy' and the way necromancers have been using their power - namely by spreading death and raising corpses and such - it's understandable. It is time for new branches of Necromancy to be defined.

Spoiler: Necromancy Reformation (click to show/hide)

The magic formally known as Necromancy magic is now known as Soul magic. The word 'Necromancy' is downgraded so that the first letter is a lower-case letter - becoming 'necromancy' - as it is now a sub-categorial form of magic (similarly to blood magic) and only refers to Soul mages who work with the dead. Necro.

Instead of manipulation of the souls of others, a Soul mage may instead choose to strengthen their own soul. This would provide small boosts in all types of power (physical, chi, magic) but would especially help with other Soul techniques and even Cosmic magic since the user would be able to handle more without their soul burning out.

A skilled Soul mage might even be able to heal their other people's souls if they somehow become damaged or corrupted. This allows them to actively help a Cosmic mage when performing a powerful spell as the Soul mage can repair the Cosmic mage's soul as it's getting burned.

More drastically, two mortals powerful in both Soul and Cosmic magic will be able to fuse with each other, thus taking the angels' exclusivity over the art away. Other forms of magic that can help in fusion are Elemental (blood magic and raw, physical elements), Ritual, Divine (Cim, Kli, Joha, Malakath, Fusil, if weapon-fusion is involved), Psymental (multiple minds), and Celestial (depending on active skyfeatures). Of course, fusion between three mortals would require all three to be exceptionally powerful in Soul and Cosmic magic, and four or more would be all but impossible due to the power and skill requirements, even with assisting magic.

Finally, a skilled Soul can speed up the development of souls such as Shinjo. They can even create non-weapon souls on their own!

Also, the idea of necromancers gaining power by eating souls is a myth.

A great many printing presses, town criers, and other information-spreaders are hired to begin spreading knowledge of the reformation of Necromancy as well as to spread information of blood magic/contracts on both worlds. Cosmic mages and the Armu are especially targeted as recipients of the information regarding Soul magic.

"Just a question, but is there a system where Essence is rewarded to a god who greatly participates in defining the universe?"

(I voted for worldbuilding in the OOC poll. This is my interpretation of worldbuilding.)

The three dead Controllers are revived. The original two are given offers to become Malakathian angels. As with the other Malakathian-aligned angels, they would still keep their Yaos-alignment. All angels (including Malakathians) are given freedom to do what they were doing before I was born.

(I'd forgotten what it was like to just be able to do things besides fight other gods or wait for my Essence cap to increase. It's nice.)

(...That is like your 5th edit. I am wondering what I missed constantly...)

[LuckyKobold]

KI'Tork uses 1 Essence to preform a few miracles in isolated areas to get more worshipers and checks on the citadel.

[Rolepgeek]

This tick, we shall focus on improving living conditions/quality of life in Good cities, checking on the process of those Grand Cathedrals, missionary work(angels are useful, so are Templars), Templars doing their best to spread Good around the cities and expand their numbers, improving medical sciences and establishing the Darruthian School of Medical Science in the largest City of Good (which will be called Goodhaven from now on), and uh...yeah.

[Vgray]

Azem stands in Opulent Temple yawning, two Shiny Ones at either side.

"I must say your shininess, you've been looking a little peaky lately."

"I'll say what we've all been thinking, you need to take a break, boss."

"Hm. Perhaps. But what if my children should need me?"

"They'll be in good hands Shiniest One."

"Just leave it to us boss."

"Of that, I have no doubt. Go attend to your duties. We will discuss this later."

[Andres]

A different but equivalently useful form of fusion can be used by those without magic. Two people with a lot of chi and chi control will be able to fuse so long as they have an active blood contract. A blood contract is not strictly necessary but a lot more mastery over chi from both parties would be required without one.

Malakath creates ten combat-diminished angels. They will build temples and serve as priests spreading the word of Lord Malakath Lecta and writing contracts for people. They will perform these two duties separately in a religious fashion and a secular fashion, respectively. Five will go to Slytha, four to Keshan, and one to Konva-1.

Lord Malakath creates wyrms: small draconic animals. Unlike dragons, they only have two legs. Their fire is naturally produced but they can only manage two shots per day. Typically, they use one of these to hunt prey and save the other for attackers. Keshan and Slytha will each be host to 800 wyrms. (0E for non-magical animals)

KI'Tork personally gathers more followers and checks on the Citadel.

Good morning everyone! It seems like a great day for some death!
Or life, as it happens.
Create a race of desert dwelling people that look like me and lead people to their deaths with illusions of safety. (Control of mirages) They can also produce bursts of extreme heat in danger, but will die if rain falls on them.

"You should know, Young God, that many of us do not take our followers being slain in such a way lightly. A race designed with the intention of murdering others does not bode well with me. At least your other creations attempted to avoid it, needless death, but these seem to seek it for its own sake. If they end up becoming trouble, I might just have to enchant Serac's eternal rainfall to bring life and death to these deserts in another way."

"Weapons do not kill, people do. Unless the weapon in question also happens to be a person. In any case, the wielder chooses who the weapon destroys. These races seem to destroy at random. They are not weapons, they are a disease."

[Quartz_Mace]

"True, weapons do not kill on thier own, normally anyway. Although, I think we can agree that weapons are anything made or used to harm, especially killing, correct? If so, these are both people and weapons. I'm not saying it's right, honestly; I think this is a terrible idea, I'm just speaking my thoughts.
