Sounds like some good ideas to me.

Cultivation Do You Mean Farming?

Minor correction. Qi is Life. Not Immortality. Cultivators achieve functional Immortality by extending their Qi reservoir while simultaneously purging their Mortal Clay. Slowly replacing it with more metaphysical weighty Spirit Essence. Immortality is connected to the Divine and requires the purging of your Mortality to achieve.
Your SI isn't limited to any single elements by his Domains. As a Daedric Infernal Deity he can forge any element he wants from classical to esoteric. His Domains just make it easier to craft along Life, Nature, Growth and Nurture

Because as far as I remember the item/companion is a singular element so that would require gm ruling. Though it could work since as a prince the rules get bendy around them.
Also metal and plant fusion elementals or golems sounds metal in the musical sense and I want one in the story I'm writing... How the hell am I going to do that?
Back on topic! On the other hand the choice of witch elemental will probably affect his qi development since that stuff is 'profound' and 'thematic' especially since the mount will probably develop qi as well... question dose his qi already have a flavor? A lot of cultivator novels have fire qi, yang/yin qi, lightening qi, dragon-phoenix-god-im-uniqe-and-special qi.... Point is type of qi is a common occurrence all in the effort to become a god. The mc is already a god-thing dose he have multiple types is he a dule metal/plantPokemon cultivator?

My post delayed me reading sorry for doubling up. Also Arimai do you think the spheres count as dows? I forget the exact word but it means something like 'divine law' or something. Or would his spheres count as something else and just affect those dows.
Sorry for not posting sooner. I was at a Halloween party.
I don't quite know what you mean. Did I imply he was limited at some point?
Thanks for clarifying that for me. I didn't know about the Mortal Clay or Spirit Essence.

I'm thinking that part of cultivation is converting your qi to a particular flavor. So he doesn't have one yet, but it will probably naturally develop along life/creation.
Dao means path. I'm ruling that his domains make him perfectly suited to the related daos so he will just naturally develop along them.

No. The commentary on the chapter interpreted your comments as such. I was replying and reminding you in case they swayed you to nerfing your SI.

I'm sorry for not posting for a while with no news to give. My stepmom went on hospice just before posting the last chapter, and passed last Tuesday. It may be awhile until I'm in the mood for writing.
Take your time and process everything. This is hopefully a fun project that you do for entertainment and writing practices. Real life issues and situation take the front seat to entertain a bunch of crazy people on a magic box.
I hope that everything starts to feel stable soon. I know when I lost my nanna (grandma) it was a very emotional and honestly empty feeling that took over my life for a while. Talk to love ones and that whole jazz.... I don't know the specifics that you might need due to the neuro divergences you mentioned earlier in posting but stay on top of it! Honestly that helps a lot, in my experience.
He used that option of to use a jump as a supplement to get out of doge with the other dadric princes. Travelin to a different jump location.
Yep just like Discordant Note says. He didn't want any part of the other daedric prince's.
Ah! Makes a lot more sense now, thank you.
Makes a lot of sense since the daedra are kinda like chaos gods from Warhammer with a few more alignments... Kinda? Merida seemed-alright/not-genocidal-of-the-living they all have extremely alien mindsets with the most understandable being the daedric prince of madness.... Why is the maddest of the lot the most understandable and relatable?
Normally it would probably take a lot of generations for somethings biology to adapt to processing even slightly different stuff then they usually do but Qi and Magicka probably makes that process a bit faster. It actually kind of reminds me of this one strain of bacteria that was being starved of what they usually ate until they adapted to metabolize the normally-inedible medium they were being suspended in; unless I'm misremembering it took a while to develop that trait.
Edit: well hot damn I actually found the experiment. I wasn't even specifically looking for it or anything I just stumbled ass-backwards into it. It turns out that it wasn't a part of the medium so much as a binding agent for contaminants unless I misunderstood what they were using it for.
Also, and I remember hearing about this but got reminded by the video, there are apparently precursor mutations in the bacteriums ancestors that made them more likely to mutate their genes into a form that enabled the metabolization of this molecule.
He has Domestication influence? Never mind then that should allow him to get all sorts of plants to both process Magicka in one way or another, either using it or just transporting it like a Hyperaccumulator, and produce edible parts of themselves; taming is what one does to individuals while domestication is what one does to species after all.
Might I propose a rice-field Kelpie? Regular Kelpies are meant to drown people but since Joe has Domestication as a domain he should be able to get one that doesn't do that.
Interestingly enough since Magicka seems to come from a afterlife, being some combination of souls of multitudes a world itself and a god, it could be said that Magicka is the end-result of a Dao or at least Cultivation.
