“Nor should it. But with this, you should be able to channel more than enough of yourself through it for this to work.” you reply, taking another deep, focusing breath. Wondering why, as the voice continues speaking with you, you get the feeling that it is a more feminine voice than masculine. “But for now, I need silence. This is delicate work, one wrong move and I could break it and have to start over.”
“VERY WELL. I WILL WAIT.” the planet, most definitely female now replies, you focusing entirely on the gem floating before you. You've made golems before, this shouldn't be too much harder.
“Crystal Magic: Crystallization!” you say, channeling your magic. Causing crystals to begin sprouting all over the power core you'd made, growing out and solidifying into a single, cubic piece. But from there you take the cube, setting it down gingerly as you pour more mana, more power into the crystals. Forming and shaping them, building a body. But for the planet, it deserves better than a simple golem, you artfully sculpting its body. Just as you'd sculpted a tiny figure of your wife for her, as well as another for your daughter, you simply size up your creation. Carefully molding the curves of the body, forming the torso, then the hips and legs down to the feet. Then, back up to the torso to sculpt the arms, carefully refining the shape into slender limbs and delicate fingers before moving up to a face. Where you pause a moment, unsure what sort of face to give the planet. But after a moment decide to just let your hands do the work, continuing your crystal forming and sculpting the entire body head to toe. The work took several minutes, you sighing out when it's done and sitting back, letting the spell release. “Haaaaaah. It's done.”
“WHY DID YOU CRAFT THIS BODY?” the planet's now-very feminine voice in your mind asks you, it feeling uncertain. “IS THIS... FOR ME?”
“Yeah, go ahead and try it out. See what you think.” you reply, feeling the power flowing from the world into you and your tower extend its influence into the crystal golem you'd crafted, its body lighting up with power. The world's mana glows and shines not unlike your own Archon form, sparkling with power as it fills the vessel. Watching on as the body rises from the ground, eyes glowing crimson as it radiates with magical power. You watch as the planet's consciousness starts experimenting, exploring its range of movement with the joints, watching the body move for several seconds in silence. “Well? What do you think?”</span>
