Mix the ash with dirt gathered from the forest and plant a sapling in a pot fired by my flame magic.

4 You fire a decent pot and mix ash with dirt to plant a sapling in the forest. This helps with your learning of Flame, and the Nature Shrine sees this as a positive as well.

A small sapling is planted in the forest.

Offer deer some friendship milk. Then grab more dead animals to ressurect and fuse

2 The nightmare deer seems ambivalent toward your milk, so it does not drink it. Not to mention, it appears that there is a surprising shortage of animal bones now that lots of people have been resurrecting stuff. You learned a bit about what might happen if you mix too much random stuff together from Debby.

Decay Aspect 24/100 EXP.
There's a shortage of animal bones in the immediate area.

Amon gathers his strength and the power of his blessing and calls a dead spirit to his location, He then immediately shoves the spirit into one of the twisting shadows as he chants “That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even Death will die” Giving birth to a abomination under his control.

1+1 It looks like even with your blessing, nothing much happens this time. The spirits must not like you for disturbing them from their slumber... It could have been worse, and you learn that it's important to try to get spirits on your side before you start shoving them around ethereally.

Decay Aspect 17/100 EXP.

Patrick smiles a jovial smile as he walks up to the small golem, kneeling down and placing a hand on it's head "Lil one yer life is a gift unto me from the Goddess er'self," looking up the portly man gets a glint in his eyes "We'll do something great ye here?" he told thd golem.

Patrick studies at the Stone shrine, while he gently tells the golem to gather small stones from nearby and bring them to him.

3 The small golem goes to work while you study, bringing back only five small stones in its tiny hands. It's not much, but at least the golem gives a cute smile and you've learned a touch more about the Stone Aspect while you were waiting.

"I don't trust that skeleton over there, especially since he's defiling the corpse of what is probably one of my relatives."
Bestow the name Jeff upon my abomination, then get Jeff and go study at the nature shrine to get away from that skeleton.

4 Jeff the Abomination accompanies you away from the Decay Shrine, and you find some peace and quiet to study the Nature Aspect instead. It's a very soothing experience, and you feel quite blessed.

Patrick smiles at the golem taking the stones in his hands and placing them at the foot of the Stone altar. It have might seemed strange to treat a summoned creature like a friend rather than a servant but the man wasn't like most other mages, as he cared more about honoring the Goddess in his own way. Archmage was just a title and to Patrick O'Henigen titles didn't prove anything, it was the way you act that truly mattered.

And no matter what the portly man wouldn't treat the gift of magic as a tool, but a blessing granted from the Goddess herself so he treated everything with positivity and kindness.

Patrick arranged each stone around the foot of the Stone Altar, offering each one to the Goddess as thanks for her gift. The golem. 'Maybe teh Goddess will want me teh name the lil one' he thought as he finished.

1 The land, it seems, has a will to resist your magics... or at least, that's what a devotee of the Goddess would say. Instead of pumping Decay into the land, Decay is pumped into your body. At least where bones are concerned, there's some new ones for the other students to use.

4 Your offering of stone to the Stone Shrine seems to be favorable, the stones disappearing and the green orb glowing with power. When the magic flows into you, you could swear you hear a voice...

Blessed be the life that thou have given through thy worship, and blessed be thy name given of love to the little one.

That seems to be encouragement to your thoughts... what shall you name the little one?

Patrick O'Henigen was honored by the words of the Goddess herself who out of all her children chose to grace him with her words, as though his offerings drew her attention to him specifically. Except he was not one to let pride become arrogance as he was raised in a way that taught him that arrogance brought sorrow onto the self and the people around those who were blind with arrogance.

So he kept his tongue bridled, as he would treasure the knowledge and the blessed feeling of the wise words whispered in his conscience to himself. Patrick beckoned the small golem closer and knelt down, gently taking the tiny golem's hands in his own and looking directly at it "Lil one ye are forevermore my friend an' ye are borne from teh blessings of teh Goddess erself'," he told the golem sofly in a whisper "Ye are Méróg-Bheag now, you are my little pebble forevermore." he spoke the name to the creature.

Patrick let some of the blessing he felt course through his hands as he gently squeezed Méróg's, using the blessing to make the little golem a little stronger and possibly give it sentience to a minor degree, meaning that of a child.
