"Ouch. I should've just crushed them or something. No matter, they are weak. I shall try to ignore the pain for now."

"But for now..."

For the first time in its entire existence, Apparition finally thinks of the concept of actually creating something for once. Something else than more of itself. Servants, as they may be called.

It concentrates and sprouts small growths of its own mass, and then in a shaking motion separates them from its body, essentially undergoing budding to create copies of its first small form. These copies lack self awareness or complex thought, among other advanced attributes, but still do possess intelligence to solve basic problems themselves.

It calls them, The Buds.

| The Buds | SMALL SIZE | BLOB| ♥ 1 |
| ANIMALISTIC | ROLLING BODY|

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Population - Numerous
Stature - About the size of The Apparition before its growth.
Notes: Small rolling blobs of grey matter that listen to the cimmands of their parent body. While they possess no will on their own, they can still work out basic solutions to problems they encounter.

Here is your Mystic's sheet plus minisheet widget. You should copy it back into your action post.
Just trying to help everyone transition over to keeping track of their own sheets. It's really not that hard once you get the hang of it.

Also, Unraveller, what's your take on such "specified creatures" as the one in Magmacube's post, how do you intend to handle it?

Here, magmacube, copy everything beyond this point back into your action post:

(( As with everyone else's magicks of creation, I will roll the action as usual, the result will fall out of it. I don't *mind* if people relay to me their specific desires when it comes to creations whether that's through a detailed description or a list of stats/traits, but I don't guarantee it coming out exactly as intended, I have my methods based on the rolls. Sure, there's a chance that Magmacube's action creates exactly what they've written, but you know, the dice are fickle. Just to be clear, unless otherwise stated, the only 'official' creature statblocks are ones that I create for them. ))

((Defenitely a sensible and logical way of going about it, with any statblocks provided by players acting as "targets". Just to be clear as well, the only reason i gave The Metamorph a specified statsheet is because she was adapted from a Mystic sheet, and i needed to convey what she is, along with some extra fluff. I'm actually more worried about the situations where players specify really weak things, then end up rolling really high. ))

((Also, i don't wanna seem like i'm pestering people about the sheets thing. Quite the opposite, i very much want to help everyone in that regard if there are any issues and make it as easy as possible for everyone. So also if anyone wants their section of the list in a nice, clean, quoteable form, for example if you're phoneposting where cutting a 25k length post might be difficult, just post so in this thread, and i'll copypaste it from a text document. Then you can just quote my post, remove the surrounding stuff, add your action in front and BAM! you've got a perfectly formatted action post that Unraveller will be VERY happy with. Then come next turn, You'll just quote that post, cut away all the surrounding stuff again, make any adjustments to the sheets as needed and again add your actions above the sheets, and so on and so forth. It really can't get any simpler than that.))

((Just for the sake of it. Here is the widget template, with placeholders:

| POP LVL:  | (name) | (something) SIZE | (aproximate shape) |
| ♥ (max wounds) | MGT: SKL: HRD: WIL: |
| (trait) | (trait) | (trait) | (Add or remove trait blocks as needed)

Just replace placeholders with appropriate stuff and you're good to go.
Can also be put on a single line like this:

[Knightwing64]

Amon cry’s out in pain, The cry being utterly terrifying due to tense emotions and his warping form. “ARRRRGGGGHHHHH! YOU BASTARD! GIVE ME POWER! I DESERVE IT! DO YOU KNOW ALL I WENT THROUGH FOR THIS!? AND YOU DENY ME?”

After learning his lesson? and during some venting, Maybe destroying a few rocks. He decides to do something less spread out.

Multiple forbidden words flow out of his mouth, Enhanced by his luck and the thrones power.

 (Amon uses the same spell to do this, Like nature girl when she made the two species, It’s basically the same concept. Hope that’s okay.) Amon imbues himself and the earth with the concept of life, eldritch and cosmic.

(The life for me is intended to heal myself while the life for the earth is intended to create a new species.

CHAOTIC: There's no telling when this creature might do the unexpected. It's loyalty is difficult to maintain.

 Bob:
Population - Solitary
Stature - A small Island's size
Notes: A creature composed of stone, granted a chaotic life by Amon on Turn Zero. It bears no solid shape or countenance, merely a mass of basalt that moves with some animalistic purpose. On Turn Five, Amon instilled in it Assimilation, to which it absorbed the rest of the isle. Also known as BoB, this being is quite the ruminating sort

Wounds - 12/12

"Well it seems the staff needs to recharge between uses, that's acceptable given its power, but this mud has given me an idea."
Have the Enkindled Ones start building walls and trenches around the entrance of the tomb out of the dried mud, while I raise the any dead sentient or otherwise that still reside undisturbed around the tomb.

MINDLESS: These creatures bear no mind, nor will of their own. They cannot think for themselves and respond only to their creator's rudimentary commands. Magicks affecting the mind will automatically fail against them.
WATER SOLUBLE: These creatures' construction is disrupted by sufficient enough water.
LIFELESS FORM: This creature cannot regenerate lost wounds without great magicks set to do so, even then the process is tricky.
EQUIPMENT: These creatures are equipped with heavy armaments of stone that may slow them down, however under durress will often protect them from physical wounds 30% of the time. Their swords and spears of obsidian are incredibly sharp, though somewhat brittle, no doubt they can rend flesh and cloth with ease.
MOUNTED: This created sits upon a steed, [Gray Horses]. They gain the ability to traverse land quickly, as well as bonuses to battling units who stand smaller than the stature of their steed. - In this case, large horses.

(K, Changing the wording a bit.)

[Naturegirl1999]

You’re still imbuing 2 areas with 3 concepts, Ask Unraveller if that is 2 spells, 3 spells or 6 spells

[TricMagic]

(One can chose how much they exert themselves. I'm kinda hoping the throne drains them dry so there is one less mystic to fight.)

(One can chose how much they exert themselves. I'm kinda hoping the throne drains them dry so there is one less mystic to fight.)

(Damn. I’m changing it.

Lemme ask Unraveller first though, Is what I did multiple spells?)

[Unraveller]

(( To be fair, considering the precedent we've set forth throughout the earlier turns,  Amon has been able to manipulate the concepts of the Gazelings, BoB, and himself in one breath. In of itself this is fine, you could argue this is because of proximity, and maybe that's how his magick works. The only potential difference here would be that you're at the highest point in the world, and the new land is far down below. That might be disparate enough to require a distinction. ))

[Naturegirl1999]

((Oh yeah, the throne is probably far above the ocean, so if you’re trying to imbue life to the earth, some of thst might carry to the oceans as well, which I’m fine with, just letting you know that might be a possibility, though I’m not a concept mage so I don’t know))

(I’m okay with that. The reason why I was kinda confused was people were calling me out on something I’ve done every turn and saying it was wrong, So I wanted clarification. Thanks for elaborating Unraveller!)

[Yellow Pixel]

"He-he... Zombies... All blasted..."

Spoiler: What happens... (click to show/hide)

Yellow Pixel is under the shock.

He sees scattered yellow blocks.

Displaced by the undead.

So he starts playing with the blocks.

To chill out a few bits.

And he makes funny structures.

Until they start looking like...

Jumping spiders?

Yes! Jumping spiders made of blocks!

Yellow blocks!

With smiling faces!

And springing legs!

Made of arcs of pure joy?

Yes! Strange but true!

Also the legs end with blocks.

Yellow blocks.

They can jump very high too!

And make strong kicks!

Wiggling, flouncing, bouncing, hopping, leaping!

Always they are!

And always full of happiness!

Thus Yellow Pixel made new friends!


Yellow Pixel feels better now...
