[X] The Odd Crab
It's an immortal crab that could keep growing until reaching leviathan proportions. When killed, it will pull a Mother Earth and divide itself into a great swarm of regular sized crabs. If even a single Crab of the swarm survives, The original Odd Crab will be reborn.

Nobody said anything positive or negative about my idea, so I have no clue whether there's anyone who's interested or what I should change about it...and I feel less than no motivation to vote for anyone else's acts when no one is even trying to campaign for their acts.
I'll come back later on and maybe vote for something in return for support to my act.

A special magic ritual which is functionally a macrocosmic focusing lens for the Least Gods, to channel their tendency to cause messes by spreading their domain fecklessly. Instead, this ritual, when preformed by High Priests or the sufficiently enlightened, as they too would be able to discover it by investigating the patterns of the Tapestry deeply enough, would have the specific utility of inviting the Least Gods of the universe in general to evenly multiply their domains through the biological substrate of the ritual components, which must necessarily consist of living subjects.
This would, basically, cause living things its used on to explode into a horrific Palace of Flesh; the results would be different each time the ritual is used, as the inside of the ritual becomes a closed space which undergoes high speed evolution under unpredictable conditions. Most of the time, the ritual peters out and wouldn't produce much, save for a few unique and valuable species, as the artificial hyper-biodiversity collapses on itself and cannot maintain any kind of cohesion on contact with the outside world- though even this can cause an unexpectedly dangerous situation in the long run due to invasive species with unforeseen adaptability, or diseases that spread before containment can be properly instated.
However, rarely, a fully self-stable ecosystem can form inside of the ritual space; the aforementioned Palaces of Flesh, otherwise called Biospheres. These Biospheres would possess incredible potential if exploited intelligently- but also represent an incredible threat if not properly managed and suppressed.
This ritual when preformed on the undead would instantly destroy any caught in its range, by the mechanism of forcefully injecting 'life' into their bodies and inducing rapid decomposition on the flesh into stinking, putrefied sludge- this effect extends to other dead biological matter as well, so the undead are not actually special in this respect.

I forgot about this one. I have question: "What meaning of this ritual?" Like, why do you expect someone to use it?
[X] Cultivation: Using ridiculous amounts of Light, only possible due to Swarmlings, the Dragon's Tears become lose a vastly in how lessened they are. Should a Void dragon eat this, they will become even more powerful, having the power to create alongside their power to destroy being enhanced. Who knows what consuming this flower will do to Death ...

The meaning of it is that it serves as a mechanism through which the universe can be saturated with unique biodiversity instead of just spitting own random animals one species at a time. The people of the setting would have their own reasons to use it, from creating weaponized ecosystems to just looking for new materials.
The utility is so obvious to me that I have a hard time understanding why you'd even ask. What's the point of any of the acts currently being proposed on this round? What is the point of Eternals or EYE-Flies or Democracy?? Nothing. I actively do not want any single act that is currently proposed to pass. None of these acts have any kind of theme, or vision for the future of the setting, they're just random shit that people want to shoehorn into the universe with no rhyme or reason, and no one is talking about why their acts should pass or debating the merits of cooperating for a goal.
No one wants to give feedback. I have no interest in trying to get anyone to vote in my act since no one can tell me what they even want so I can try to lobby for their votes. Everyone is just throwing whatever at a wall, at least I'm trying to bend my act towards the needs of the setting and working with the QM's requests to stop directly porting species over one by one.

Well, I was not sure why they would want to create new ecosystems. It sounds like pretty creepy ritual, but it can saturate world with new life for sure, if someone tries to experiment with it. Or it would be prohibited, because of some dangerous bacteria outbreak at some point.
I have no idea what act to do myself and for what to vote. I don't like any of my ideas, because I don't see meaning. And I am not sure if I would vote for other stuff for know, I don't really like anything. Pepper Valley was simple project, but it had meaning and sounded useful, tasty - I liked it. But I don't really want to create life anymore.
Edit: Also, how much control user of ritual has? Like, is it possible to train to some degree? Or can one choose such a set of source materials to get approximately the same result? Because evolution depends on many things, but still can be somewhat directed. Maybe using some simple, one organism would make possible ways of mutation less broad, give it some direction.

Some daring Nightmares seek out an audience with the Darkness. They bow before it, and tell of their uncaring Lord, of his pursuit of endless Violence and their discontent. Then, they tell it their plan, a ritual they devised that will tear domain of Nightmares out of the Crimson Lord's heart, freeing them from his rule. However, they say, they are uncapable of doing it alone. Only with the Void's destructive touch that the Darkness has they will be able to severe the threads that bind them to the Crimson Lord. In exchange, they will give domain of Nightmares to the Darkness.

4 out of 9 acts currently passing. 6 if subordination is taken into account.
People might want to try campaigning and convincing people why they should vote for their act. Honestly the lack of discussion is rather discouraging.

Yeah, this is. I don't have any ideas. And I don't really want to vote for anything. I don't feel the story!
Do you want to trade? Your idea is good and I have a question, what happens if this is used on a Void Dragon?

Honestly, I was just wanting to add giant crabs to the setting.
I don't really know what else to do. Maybe once the new earth has been more established, I can come up with something more interesting.

Honestly, there hasn't been much talk and I am mostly just making little creepy bugs and think they don't need me but if we really need to.
COUGH
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR EYE-FLIES
Eye-flies are both unique (I Think) creatures and potentially can be used as canneries by the sentient races, making them a better way in my opinion to add things with complicated consequences to the world like precognition than just granting your chosen few it.
Pros:
-Limited Precognition but requires effort
-Cool creepy flys
-Expands the world's ecosystem
-Can be used in neat ways by Mannan but doesn't need to be.
Cons:
-Just smol little guys.
-Kinda creepy

I think that it's mostly that we just got a world again and the cosmic happenings are going down a notch so we don't have much to think about right now, mortals colonizing the new earth will rectify that IMO.

We need a story, some plot... What kind of magic the world has by now?
Edit: No, this is not right way. Can I do something like that, or would it be universal and impossible to do?

After his rebirth, one of the Artist's initial endeavors was to play with Mystical Yarn and Little Gods. He had a brilliant idea to assign a unique name to each little spirit. These names were incredibly simple, so small and delicate that they seemed impossible to pronounce separately. Nevertheless, they were distinctive - the Artist ingeniously devised a unique name for every tiny spirit, often doing so in his spare time. This ensured that each Little God could remember, recognize, and respond to its own name in the simplest way possible. However, the Little Gods were not solitary beings; they were all integral parts of a greater whole, harmoniously interwoven fibers in the Mystical Yarn.
Through this interconnectedness, individual words transformed into complete sentences when many Little Gods accidentally heard their own names and responded. It was not that someone intentionally uttered these names, but rather the names were so minuscule that they could easily be misheard in any surrounding information. Thus, certain strands of the Mystical Yarn began to vibrate randomly, producing 'noises' as the Little Gods heard their names in meaningless things and answered. This white noise had no impact on the world, as its chaotic nature caused the voices of different spirits to cancel each other out.
However, the Artisan became intrigued by these noises, these waves and vibrations. He endeavored to weave the threads in such a way that the voices of many spirits, upon responding to their names, would create not white noise, but a harmonious melody that made sense. Yet, playing this instrument proved challenging, requiring extensive experimentation. After all, the names of the spirits were so small that even the thoughts and mood of the one attempting to play the strings influenced the outcome. Consequently, the majority of words and gestures only resulted in fleeting bursts of harmony, a faint sensation for those around, before devolving into meaningless and ineffectual white noise that failed to influence the world once again.
Only by forging a special Spark for himself could the Artisan work more effectively with these waves, deciphering rare stable and meaningful vibrations amidst the chaos. Upon completing this monumental task, the Artist approached his mother and siblings to showcase the fruits of his labor. The Artisan gestured with his paw and snapped his fingers, causing his strings to utter the word [Lux], and a light ignited at the tip of his talon. This light continued to burn as the string vibrated, resonating with the echo of the spoken word. While the Artist's relatives possessed the ability to create light at will, it was the ingenuity with which it was achieved that mattered, rather than the end result. And thus, the Words of Power were born, and the Spark of Magic was forged and offered to the Great Tapestry. This would allow anyone who possessed the will, intelligence, patience, and fortune to potentially make their own strings find and sing these Words. There were many of them, with their own specific meanings and effects to find in the chaos of white noise.

There were many of them, with their own specific meanings and effects to find in the chaos of white noise.
Edit: Keep in mind that each word is a separate spell with certain strict limits on what it can do without destabilizing and turning back into white noise. Like [Lux] can only create a point source of light that can be dimmed/brighten within specified limits, and which color is usually gilded and can only be changed to slightly more white or orange. Step to the left, step to the right and the singing of the string becomes a meaningless noise, interrupting the effect. It also means that you can't just take and pronounce words one after another or together to create some new effect - in most cases you will get white noise again and nothing for an effect. If you need a beam of light, there are two ways: exhaustively looking for a word that creates this particular effect (if it exists at all), or exhaustingly searching for a word that will harmonize with another to create a similar effect (if it exists at all). Creating a new spell is an extraordinary job that relies more on luck and stubbornness than knowledge.

Vote for Nyctophobia! Give poor abandoned Nightmare-children a loving new home and a parent that isn't bloodthirsty maniac. Nightmare Lord even went so far as to change his name to Crimson Lord to not share his surname with his children from the first marriage (with the domain of nightmares), that's how much he doesn't care about them.

Why you should vote for Cultivation:
-Fleshes out Death's domain by adding things unique to it.
-Gives the Void Dragons a chance to move from their role of Destruction
-Allows the Author to influence it via Subordination
-Could have hefty implications for the rest of the setting

Did you already forgot what playing with the Void did the last time? Maybe we should free Gobbus too?
In fact, there is no guarantee that they will actively use their enhanced creative side. I think they will focus on increased destruction and mostly ignore the new creation abilities. Because it is simpler.
