- TMI spends 2 acts and 1 magic act creating a new system of magic, Sympathetic magic:

Magic functions via connections, and sympathy. In short, like effects like. Elementalists form miniature elemental replicas of large scale things they wish to affect, then manipulate the model to effect the original. Taking material from the target increases the strength of the connection and thus magic, for example, a magical doll of a rival with some of his plucked hair placed in it, so you could torture him using a doll.

Factors affecting connections are distance, similarity, familiarity with the target, whether the target can currently be sensed, knowledge of the target's secret truename, and more probably.

A mage could spy on a friend they are very familiar with who is ten miles away with the crystal figurine made to look like him. A leecher could drain health and vitality from a target after having stabbed them with a sword through the potent physical connection.

Enchanters use the parts of powerful creatures to imbue a connection with that strength in the arms and armour they create, psymentalists use the mental bridge connected by two people meeting their eyes to perform mind magic.

The great beings may hand down tokens to favoured mortals, granting them a connection to that great being which can then be used to perform powerful magic related to their spheres, with the danger of the connection potentially being used against the great being.

Other symbols can potentially be empowered into valid reagents for sympathetic magic by being greatly associated with something.

- Spend 1 Wisdom act on trying to find out how I can increase my act income, especially of sphere acts.

so what will this magic system even apply to? their is no life currently and a lack of a planet, you know what since a planet is the least of problems i'll make life while their is no planet
using his chaos act plus his trickery act and one act he creates a the race of mortals, these mortals are strange beings that don't need to breath, even the coldness of space don't bother them, even the heat and radiation stars ans suns create don't bother them, their bodies are like that of arthropods, these mortals possess a very good ability to adapt and evolve to their surroundings, they can eat anything they want without much trouble, they are called Deca and placed inside the mortal plane

This sounds like a "not my problem" sort of problem. I do like your new race!

i wanted to make the planet but for some strange reason the illusionist thinks its a bad idea to let a single god hold 6 extra acts when we all have a possible 8

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

"Enough squabbling for now." Avalon speaks,

as her sheath shines with a golden light, mixed with starlight.

1 Act: The Cornerstone.

Creation, Landmark.

Tracing recorded history, Actualize.

Fortune and Eternity.

Costs Met. Realization


Quote
Name: Blue Star Taiyōryusou: the Gold-tinged Sun.
Class: Landmark V, Star.
Description: A blue star with yellow-white light dancing across it's surface in the form of electricity. The hottest natural star, Taiyōryusou is regularly breaking down it's own components in Fission, while the normal Fusion Process goes on. It's light and heat push the habitual range quite far from it, though this also has the effect of making that range very wide.
Effects:
Eternal Star: An Eternal Star, that shall never go out, Taiyōryusou maintains it's size forever, with slight deviations. It's balance is such that it will last until the universe dies, or runs into a black hole, whichever happens first. And even then, Taiyōryusou might win in that battle.
Light's Fortunes: A star with a large amount of heat, it also produces comparable light, greatly boosting the growth rate and resultant size of photosynthesis plants. This also means more storms more often, so Planet Creators should be wise to this.
Mana of Legend: The Electricity gives off it's own wave type, greatly boosting the magical reserves of Magic Users, as well as the number of native magical Flora/Fauna. Per Sympathetic Magic System, this means Magic Users can connect with the Taiyōryusou to boost their Mana Regeneration greatly, not counting other magics that can be done through this connection.

Solar System Center: Gravity, see below.
Sun has Gravity, and a lot of mass. No matter who argues otherwise, they do. How this is even an issue astounds me. It's common sense in most places.[/spoiler]

"Zorick, I am not going to entrust any of my acts to a Pacter Devil with the spheres of Chaos and Trickery."

"Tzantac, I make a proposal. Instead of three of us making a region and then hoping to glue the power together somehow, three of us will contribute a total of ten acts to a megaproject to create the world, pooling our power."

As the light shines on the universe, the sound of cut air is heard.

"If my understanding of the laws of this universe are correct. Eight Acts. I will serve as mediator of the Four and bring their ideas to life."

And once more a sheathing blade.

"That way Four can create a world with my help. On my Honor will I mediate in this task."

Whilst the deities and ascendants discuss, the sound of a flute can be heard, and from the foggy void tumbles a portly godly man swaddled in silken robes. In his hands he holds a flute, and plays it with great skill for some time. When he ceases, those listening feel somewhat more fulfilled, and when he speaks his deep, baritone voice is richly warm.

"Greetings my friends, I am Korbak, God of Merriment and Satisfaction! I see you've begun to form the world, yet I fear it is far from complete. Most mortals require soil with which to thrive upon, but all require some semblance of inspiration, something to look up to and feel, deep inside, that there is something more."

Korbak spends 2 Acts and 1 Satisfaction Act to create the Blanket of Stars, a dense shroud of twinkling lights to fill the featureless white, which darkens at the God's will. It is not an oppressive darkness, rather it is a warm, comforting darkness and those who gaze upon the constellations of the night sky will be filled with an inner peace, not enough to cease a murderous rage, but enough to still the spiritual turmoil of slight anger, or calm most day-to-day stress.

"Lo and behold, for the Blanket of Stars has formed! I look forward to seeing the rest of your contributions."

"He has one sphere that can be used for deception. You have one sphere that can be used for deception, the sphere of chaos, and you are a Pacter Devil. I know who I trust more."

"Actually, a total of ten acts are neccesary to create an entire planet, and each of us starts with four non-sphere acts. In addition, your "mediation" would presumably require that you get the acts used, from your wording. I suggested a megaproject to avoid that sort of thing."

"Hmph. Three Acts to Two Sphere Acts. Six become Four, each of which is worth Two, requiring Two more to make Ten total.."

"And you are correct. But this would let you all decide without needing to use too many yourself."
