Examine the spring.
You turn away from the crystals to examine the spring. The water is cold and slightly salty. Your focus narrows, you find yourself in the water. your skills with water gain a level. potential conceptual uses of water. this will have to wait until sentients. Living in the water is something you have never seen before, an animal. your life skills gain a level. you can now see and feel all life around you as if it is illuminated. you have knowledge of animals. simple animals, it will build as you use it though. Start small. no large or intelligent animals yet.
Just rolled for divine life, nope. Rolled for sentient life. invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4577932/ now this is tricky because there are no real animals, it has to originate with magic. sable eyes.
After your exertion with the water and the tiny creatures you rest. you dream. in your dream shadows crowd around the magic glowing gems, one gets too close and you reach out to aid it. your power bound a shadow to a gem and produced life. a glittering gem eyed form emerges from the flare. its skin is shadow and glittering crystal. it half stands on two legs. two arms tipped in nimble delicate hands complete the picture. you awakened to find a small group of dream creatures clustering around you. what do you do? [] write in.

Pick one up and study it. Then leave them in peace. Caution must be used as must patience.

[x] Watch the creatures interact with each other, taking no action towards them. See what we can learn from them.
I wonder if they have gained our curiosity?

Watch and learn.
These creatures are curious, well worth the effort to study. They can sense you but they don't know what you are, a deeper shadow in a cave of shadows. As you watch one of them approaches the crystals that gave it birth. What can these things do? Are they like you? Can they affect the world? These questions drive you to keep watching. The creature that is investigating the crystals reaches out a hand to them, a spark of magical energy passes from the crystal to the creature. The creature makes a strange noise summoning the rest of the group to look. they jump around excitedly. invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4578816/ The group all touch a crystal. The cave fills with the discharge of magic. Lay lines surge and writhe as the magic being drawn pulls them closer and closer till the laylines bind to the crystals. A shudder rings through the cave. The crystals start growing getting brighter and larger. thickening into pillars of crystal shooting through the cave roof. The creatures jump back in fear as the crystals grow. rocks fall from the ceiling. A short time later the roof is gone and faint star light shines down on you all. You stand in a ring of massive crystal obelisks, each one holding a different aspect of your power. A spring in the centre bubbling. The creatures dance around the magical henge, an early form of worship. Maybe a god will be born from this, in time. Knowledge: sentience. you can grant free will and thought to an animal or create it in a brand new creature. What do you do now? [] Write in Magic is now bound to aspects of your powers. it is still wild but there are hints of form now. the magical henge is now a centre of the lay lines. it radiates magical energy into the area. it is also connected to you in some indefinable way. when you gain new powers they will be represented here. the creatures(Need a name) have started worshiping the henge, it has provided the energy for them to not need food as long as they stay close to it or the lines.

but i don't want to harm it, so no eating or crushing it. It shrieked before, maybe it can communicate?
maybe...
[X] Reveal a part of myself to the creatures as their creator, let myself being worshiped

The emergence of these creatures has given you an idea. You will try to use your powers to create minions, so that you can spread the effect of your presence. Perhaps you can use the leylines of magic to bind them to you. You might even be able to channel your powers through them.

Here is a map to help orientate things a bit. sorry its not better but my skills in that area are miniscule. it might be useful to have for reference. maybe you want to do stuff somewhere not easily describable. Current locations are : the island of the world tree. your tree, of course. the glowing algae. lichen on the world tree that increases growth and development of all life on the island. a small forest grows there. under a disc of shadow mountains on one edge. surrounded by a light emitting coral ring. The volcanic island of your imprisonment. the crystal cave has been opened and monoliths of powered crystals are here. it is the centre of the laylines now. no plant or animal life is here. your shadow-gem sentients are here. they worship the crystal monoliths.

The creatures clearly have some level of intelligence...intelligence of their own, as well, separated from me. In what new and inventive ways could that intelligence be applied, if they had the capacity for creation themselves? I have been focused on what they can learn from me, but perhaps, given the chance, their differences in thinking could serve as an inspiration for what I might learn from them. At the very least, it would be entertaining to watch.
[X] Choose a handful of the creatures and imbue them with powers of their own

[X]Study the creatures and imbue them with powers of their own. Then attempt to create minions. The small curious creatures dancing around the monoliths intrigue you, they are simple but new. Its exciting, things that move on their own. They make noises at each other. You reach out and grab a handful, they hang on tight to your shadows, their little claws tickle. Examining them, you see the potential in them they could be so much more. invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4579011/ Your powers flow into them mingling with the magic and shadow that is the core of their beings. Something sticks but you can't tell what. You put down the fearful creatures, they are asleep, resting after what you have done to them.
Gained: Knowledge of Emotion, you recognize emotion but it is alien to you, you can't distinguish between the different types. The creatures worship you now too, their worship will affect you, in time.
After the experience with these creatures you wish to make your own, but bound to your will. servants so you don't have to do everything yourself. invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4579029/ You reach out your powers to the ley lines, they seem like perfect carriers for your power. Your powers run wild infusing the ley lines with life, but its not bound to you. Animals of magic explode from the ley lines each bearing an aspect to your powers. They run in all directions affecting the world. Outside of your control. The effort exhausts you, you fall back to rest. A shadow among shadows. What do you do when you awaken? [] Write in.
nat 1. unlucky. so to sum up. you have gifted the (need a name) with powers but you don't know what. and you have made wisps of magic into animals that carry copies of your power, they are going around doing stuff. you now have a group of beings worshipping you, depending on what they think of you and how they worship it will affect you in different ways.
