I just gave her a power that can help them and use them for an experiment.
If it goes well, I will create a god for every existing thing
[X] Create the Staff of the Stone Dancer and deliver it to Embla with instruction on its use in creating magical architecture. (Demi Act)
A darkened brass staff, approximately half a human height in length, topped with a polished green and black crystal sphere that floats above it at all times. Engraved upon it are depictions of dancers flowing through motions, and the earth responding in kind by reshaping. Should the staff become damaged through any means, it will slowly restore itself by drawing from the very earth, reforming all the depictions though never the same dances. When used in a performance such as dance, though other performances may also work and engrave their own legend, it remolds the earth, soil and stone. Precise control may be gained by those who practice well, and true mastery may even allow shaping of metal, crystal and other more worthy materials.

For a whole race, we're looking at Grand, but since it's an existing magic you intend to teach, Lesser might be enough - the Deep Algals' understanding of Shaping was similarly advanced with a Lesser Act. Of course if you want to give absolute mastery of the magic, it will be Grand.

[X] Create the Floatwood Swamp on the First World (Demi Act)
In this swamp, there is only one tree, and it is a massive one. Its roots spread out for miles, sprouting up to create other trees here and there, but ultimately, they are all connected. It is rooted deeply, so deeply that if one only looked at it from ground level, it would be impossible to notice the properties of floatwood. But this wood, when removed from the tree, stays floating by a slight repulsion from the ground. This repulsion can be either increased or decreased by channeling vigor through it, and with enough vigor, could even be completely inverted.
This is my first ever authored act. Does it sound good, or have I misunderstood vigor?

The Grand Arcanist (Demi act)
A young Skrayt playful and mischievous is visited by a maker in the form of brilliant construct of shifting light. The maker instructs him to go out into the world and learn of the Arcane, granting him the immortality and potential needed to undertake such a long task. The gift however is poisoned the immortality granted sees the skrayt forever trapped in his childish form and mentality. An agent of chaos and whimsy is unleashed upon the lands
Supported:
[X] Gather spirits and teach them the Art of Dramaturgy: The art and a science behind the creation of legends. (Grand Act)

creating places / biomes is a lesser-act
the tree I only think if it would be a demi-act
we didn't see much vigor so I don't know if it works like that (from what I personally understood it was more than anything to alter the body by making it harder, faster, more flexible, etc) but it may be possible.
sounds interesting
Immortality cannot be given with a demi-act, unless it is not aging in which it can almost be done.
As for the potential, as a demi-act it will not be as strong as I think you think, it will be only minor and restricted powers.
the power you seem to describe would be a lesser-act
but it is at the discretion of @Photomajig
I only said by what was said in the rules

It's not a huge place though, like the size of a small island, basically?

the first island we created was a lesser-act.
if it is smaller than that, it depends more on the approval of photo

A smaller Island was created using a demi act so its possible
As for my arcanist it can watered down to what the QM thinks is appropriate

Decided to change my Act to Lesser Since if definitely wasn't going to win as a grand act and it didn't really need to be grand I just wanted to try and make a grand artifact.
Authored Act:
[X] Create the Bond Bands (Lesser Act)
Mystical artifacts that allow their wielder to Gain new Strength, Speed, Powers, and/or Abilities based on their bonds with others, the stronger the bonds the more powerful they are. These bonds can be any kind of relationship, Love, Friendship, Rivalry, even the bonds between bitter enemies. The Bond Bands are extremely powerful, but they're born to promote the forming of relationships and we'll subtly push the wielder to form them, whatever form they may take and we'll always find themselves in the hands of someone filled with loneliness so they may help fill the world with more bonds between beings.
Non-Authored Acts:
[X] Create the Seared Spear (lesser Act)
[X] Create the Law of Metamorphosis (Grand Act)

Yes, if they already voted for a different Cosmic Act. Although remember, you get a +1 because it's about the Unseen.

Cold... I feel cold...
I voted for World Tree Expansion as a Cosmic Act, but it's winning as a Grand Act. I'm just worried that it might render my Grabd Acts invalid.
Wait isn't it winning as a cosmic act? It has 9 vote as a cosmic act +1 epoch vote. So 10 votes which is enough to pass as a cosmic vote. If that's not enough to pass with the 15 non-demi act rule I would ask if @Dragonofelder cosmic vote could be switched over to the world tree since he was erroneously told it was a grand act when he first voted for it as a cosmic act.

[Z] Teach Refutation to the Hive Coasters (Lesser Act)
Send a lesser Abraxas to Tamvrata, its sister colonies and allies to teach Refutation to the most suited among them.
@Photomajig is that a valid Lesser Act vote?
