Talavars, as it pains me to see you in this state I will heed your request. Your people are of my creation, and I had hoped for a better way to resolve the issues with your neighbors but it seems it will not come to pass. Such a tragic change of events. I will unveil my next great servant for the people of the empire you have created in your time. It shall descend upon what was ruined. Its name: Montark, The Gadjiton Arsenal.


Rest for now Talavars. Montark and Herz, go, march down to the empire that was of my creation and restore it. Divide the conflict between X'arilyg's creatures and my own. I do not want a repeat of this incident. Use force if needed to move them.

This is of course spending one greater essence

"Oh hi guys how's it been? Hold on just a moment and I'll set up some games in my realm!"

Foxmox splits a Greater Essence into 2 Lesser Essences, then makes a Lesser Law covering the world!


"Okay now you guys are totally immune to poison. Shouldn't hurt you at all! Now let's play some games!"

Foxmox enters his Realm with the followers, and plays the Transformation Roulette Game with them all. The winner will become a champion of fun(aka a Hero)! Then everyone(including the winner) gets to leave the Realm with their new animal traits!

Spoiler: Foxmox's First Hero! (click to show/hide)

Foxmox then makes a prophecy! "The new champion of fun shall bring great fun to all Maoth nations! Whether Ma'Rook wants them to or not!"

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

I carefully pick from the most curious among my Starborn, and uplift the one I see as most adventurous to be a hero, a seeker of knowledge!
Also, return the favor for Discordia by giving her a lesser essence.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Manannan gives an essence to Razel for something. I didn't really ask what. If it's something really awful, blame him. He can also have the lesser essence if he needs it, I guess.

Mpaïspama, too, sends Razel 1E to do with as he wishes.

Next, Mpaïspama dates the Grand Unified Theory of Sorcery and eventually attempts to spawn progeny from this unholy union, spending 1LE.

Finally, Mpaïspama patronizes Bloodkelp, Palm Trees, and Meatweed.

"Innanis! I lended you a lesser essence before, and we kinda need one for something!" "We just need a lesser one, to make more servants as the theropods and the specter murdered mine. And maybe have revenge."

He already did, mates.
Ignore me, I'm confused.



Anyway, I've been told that Adroit needs to be knocked down a peg?
Acter assists Mannanan in deposing Adroit and allowing the society that has suffered under him to progress as it should.

Create a Region: 1 Essence
Create several Locations: 2 Lesser Essence
Create a Location: 1 Lesser Essence
ex: city, tower, small island

Rebuild a Realm (Take 1 Cycle): 5 Essences (stackable)
Move a Realm (Take 1 Cycle): 5 Essences [Ascended Ones only] (stackable)

Quote
Disasters and Blessings
"The demonstration of your powers. Its cheaper to use this than creating Laws, so they can be useful in a pinch. Given Disasters and Blessings are acts of the Divine, all non-Divine beings are affected, though stronger beings will resist them."

Inflict a Disaster/Blessing affecting a Continent: 1 Essence

Inflict a Disaster/Blessing affecting a Location: Free!

Modifying a Creation (not applicable to Laws)
"Changing the very nature of a creation can be considered a Disaster or a Blessing depending on your perception. Either way, casting an alteration Disaster/Blessing is costlier than normal blessing."

If you have the creator's permission:
Modify up to T1 Creations: Free
Modify up to T2 Creations: 1 Lesser Essence
Modify up to T3 Creations: 1 Essence
Modify up to T4 Creations: 1 Greater Essence

If you have the creator's permission:
Do a Destruction check against the creation. If it succeeds, your blessing goes through.

Quote from: In "Cosmic Tiers, Destruction and Divine Battles"
-------Tiers-------
"Everything has a place in the cosmic order. Depending on its rank, a being has more or less power."

Tier 0: Plants, Creatures...
Tier 1: Lesser Servants, Mortals, Magic Artifacts...
Tier 2: Servants, Monsters, Abominations, Heroes, Heroic Artifacts...
Tier 3: Greater Servants, Greater Monsters, Greater Abominations, Legends, Divine Artifacts...
Tier 4: Aspects, Primeval Beasts, Anathemae, Ascendants, Keystones...
Tier 5: Minor Gods
Tier 6: Major Gods
Tier 7: Primordial Gods

(...)


-------Destruction-------
"Destruction! MWAHAHAHA! Ahem. Destruction happens if the destroyer's roll is superior to its the target's difficulty rating. The difficulty rating is determined by its overall Essence worth, and any kind of protection the target would benefit from."

1 Lesser Essence - 10
2 Lesser Essence - 15
1 Essence - 20
2 Essence - 25
1 Greater Essence - 30
2 Greater Essence - 35
1 Quintessence - 50
Realm - 40

"Thanks!" "Now, let's first deal with Adroit."

Discordia and Eris use a small part of their power to cause a disaster in the location Adroit currently is. They make a flaming chunk of the moon fall right on his head at high speeds. Because it's towards his location, the cost is free. They also inscribe their names on the rock, to make sure everyone knew it was them.

They later use their Essence to make a Servant and their two Lesser Essences to make an army of Lesser Servants.


Spoiler: Chaos Witch-Priestess (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Imp Pilgrims (click to show/hide)

They place these servants in the brand new temples, to gather more people and find followers. They also use Manual Labor to add new structures around the temples, for both defense and settling.

Also, they put their vote on Manannan

”Entity and contuity are one of the same, and the intricacy of this universe’s progression has been a interesting experience to comprehend and cope into.”

X’arilyg create a Divine Artifact of the Information Processor, a yellowish tinted 16-cell hexadecachoron, that it takes shape as. It itself can process any form of information and change it to a form of feasibility and usability for the user. X’arilyg holds it

1E: Modify Buroa's sheet as follows

Name: Buroa
Description: The son of Manannan and some Maoth of the Council.
Species: Maoth
Powers:
-Great magical potential
-Can read the structure of Aspects from the mind of those related to him and/or willing participants. Must touch them to do so.
-Can turn ambient Vis into any  Essentia of any known Aspect regardless of the Aspect of the Vis.
-Immortal.

1LE[I believe this is a Blessing?]: Move Tycho into a region presided over by the Maoth Senate.
0E: Tell Buroa that I've blessed them with the above mentioned abilities and that if he truly wishes to unlock the masteries of magic, he ought seek out the Gravity Hamster. Laying a Hand on the Hamster should clear all questions.

This is... not how Vis and Essentia work. They're the same metaphysical things, it's just that Essentia is bound to materials while Vis is freestanding. Are you saying that they can put Vis back into objects? Because it's easier to just say they know enchanting and artifice.
Or were you trying to express that they can change Aspects into other Aspects?
