Accidentally manipulate fate so that you will never get hit by an asteroid.

Metaphorically punch yourself in the face.

Consider mana applications for

- conjuring materials in raw and manufactured forms
- creating figments or illusion

Ponder your own consciousness and where it might reside

Manalash is clearly destructive. What would be better is shifting the earth so the weak arrays fray and fail.

+1. Try this first, and only if it doesn't work attempt manalash.

Oh, and can we all just agree on One at most one single sealed area and make it one of the less intimidating ones?
Really, I do not want to open any of them until we at least have some sort of basic manipulation powers, but I guess that we do have an attack spell and can whip-up some earthen constructs at will...

Feeling somewhat secure with your current level of power and curious of what might be within the obscured chambers in the tunnel system you turn to them with two methods to try, and break whatever is hiding the insides from your sight. In a cautious moment you decide to first open the only room without any source of mana contained within and begin to slowly pour mana into manipulating the stone walls of the chamber hoping to shatter whatever array is in place. You are somewhat hesitant of the results at first, but are quickly surprised at how weak the safeguards on the room actually are as only a small portion of your mana is poured into the earth movement before the room's walls fill with dozens of cracks causing the power obscuring the chamber to disappear entirely. What awaits you is an empty chamber with a plinth made of stone holding a ... book?

The book itself seems fairly mundane, and after checking it several times you sense only the faintest amount of mana inside it, an amount so small that its inconsequential to you. What do you do?

Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Mana: 620/1000 (+50 Mana a year)

Planetary Body Info
Surface: (40 out of 360 Space used)
Mana Gathering Array Network [An interconnected system of smaller arrays consisting of ten in total that gather mana from the cosmos, and draw it into you.]

Underground:
Small Tunnel System [It seems there is a series of tunnels, and chambers spread out underneath that strange array that for the most part seem bear though some of them seem to still contain items inside of them. Several of these chambers have some form of barrier around them that prevents you from seeing inside. Sealed off from the surface.]

Isolated Chamber [A chamber that is on the opposite side of your body from the tunnel system under your mana gathering array. You are unable to see inside, but you can clearly sense an entity within it that holds a power greater than your current capabilities. The entire chamber is enveloped in a array far beyond the mana gathering array's complexity that seems to be sealing whatever is inside. This array seems almost primordial in nature.]

Mana-infused Crystals [Several small pockets underground are filled with these strange crystals that are filled to the brim with a level of Mana that could fill your somewhat limited pool in its entirety though what uses the crystals themselves could have you're entirely unsure. One of the pockets has been slightly destroyed from numerous experiments.]

Iron Ore Deposit [There is one massive deposit of iron ore buried deep within your planetary body, even though its a fairly mundane material perhaps it could be of some use to you in the future.]
Mana Iron Deposits [There are dozens of tiny deposits of iron scattered throughout your body that have seemingly attracted mana during the time it took you to form though how it differs from normal iron you're completely unsure aside from it being far more durable]

Lead Deposits [There are roughly seven small deposits of lead which seem to disperse mana on contact.]

Spells/Inherent Powers
Earth Movement - You can manipulate the rock that makes up your body though the more you move the more mana you will exhaust.
Crystal Melding - You can somewhat capably meld the mana-infused crystals into semi-detailed shapes.

Mana Lash - Compressing mana into a line you launch it at your target causing physical damage from the high speed condensed mana. The more mana poured into the attack the stronger it will be.

Manasight - Using Mana to improve your perception you can now clearly observe things that might have otherwise be hidden away underground, or such. Currently the range of this sight seems to be restricted to your surface, and within your body.
Store/Retrieve Mana - Through intense study you have determined a method through which you can store mana inside of special materials, or formations that can hold mana. You have also devised a means by which to extract mana.

Known Magical Arrays
Lesser Mana Gathering Array [Costs 15 Mana to create one, takes up 4 Space, can be connected together in a network that causes the array to be more effective. Base Mana Income is 1. Five connected Arrays increases it to 10, and potentially at ten connected arrays it increases to 50. The current limit of connected arrays is ten for your level of knowledge]

It never hurts to try. Besides, who knows what strangeness might happen. We're a sentient asteroid. I don't see any reason we could or couldn't be literate.
