There is no water.
only

life
fire
weather
ice
awareness.

To get water I think we need to put a skill in ice and mix it with fire.

Wouldn't water come with life? And what's the main difference between awareness and thought?

We need more fire. Mount Doom!

Seconded. All who cross must sacrifice the firstborne of every animal and their own civ.

MUAH HA HA HA HA HA.

Plus, we could give our favoured villages ice cream, frozen food and stuff xD

gletsjer
???
I don't know what this would be, but it sounds awesome. Like a combination Glacier/Geyser/Jet. Heheh.

Wouldn't water come with life? And what's the main difference between awareness and thought?

That seems a bit backwards, doesn't it?

And what's the main difference between awareness and thought?

Awareness relates to your senses. Seeing, touching, hearing, feeling.

Thought is about communication and connecting with people and creatures - hearing the prayers of your people, sending dreams, giving orders or speaking directly into peoples minds, possession, instilling emotions, etc. and so on.

They are very different, though like all the skills they have some areas of overlap.

 Upgrading fire reduced our stability by two percent, which we'll need to be careful about later or we'll accidentally destroy the fragile things on our surface. At the same time, a little irregularity appeared down on the slopes at the edge of our vision.
What is it?

 So with Life, and awareness, bring that little child into the world. Touch it with your power, and let it know that the mountain is good. It will grow up and tell the others. Then, at the same time; you feel the pattering of rain, so feel the drops of rain, and then feel the clouds of rain; this is Weather, and from it, comes Water.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You are restless. You turn your mind to things beyond the hard stone and away from the forest below, letting your thoughts drift higher, coming to rest at your peak and settling into the snow there. You dwell on it for a moment, a gust of wind sending a spray of ice dust into the air. It is not rock and stone, but it is as much part of you as the stone may be. It is your breath, frozen, patient, waiting for when it will be needed once more., inhaled and and held, just waiting to be released.



With the heat of your internal flame, should you ever need to, you believe you can melt away some of your ice reserves. With careful management, you might be able to expand it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Satisfied with the connection you have established with your frozen peak, you turn your eyes once more back down to your children, the Onoltilat. You reach out, seeking the mind that connected with your in slumber, but the children are tiny, and moving so quickly, and so hard to tell apart, and you are still so tired... you settle for bestowing your favour on the village as a whole, encouraging growth and health as best you can. Perhaps, with time and patience, you can do more. Still, you feel the effort was not wasted... you have grown stronger from it, learned more of the limits you lie under, and how to circumvent them.

The flowers of the village bloom, out of season. A good omen, the elders say. The new child will be a lucky one, when it is time for him to enter the world.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
For now, though, you turn your eyes outwards. At the edge of your awareness you took note of something strange, a clearing of the earth. With a sigh, you release your mind, and it races outwards, through the roots and the branches and the creatures of the forest, until it becomes clearer. Strange shapes, strange animals, bits of earth stuff in strange forms. Ah, but the forest is ever changing, and you can not hold your concentration for long. Is this the change that you felt approaching?
