Through your feet up and into your body, from the converging leylines up into your body, you feel that same power once more. However, as you feel that awareness swelling within you, you feel something else. Something taking notice of you. As if the planet itself, had it a face, has suddenly turned and is looking directly at you.
“<span class="mu-s">MY CHAMPION.” a voice you've never heard before booms, you feeling it echoing up through your tower and into you. Your head feels as if it'll burst from the pressure of just that singular thought, rattling you to your very bones. So, with a few quick muttered words weave spells into your home to prevent any more shaking, hopefully not waking your planet and dampening the deafening voice inside your own head to hopefully keep it from bursting from the power of the thoughts reaching you.
“Who are you?” you ask, feeling you already know the answer but want the confirmation. And it comes, once more rattling your brain but no longer your home.
“I AM THIS WORLD.” comes the booming reply. “AND I HAVE CHOSEN YOU AS MY CHAMPION. YOU FOUGHT LONG AND WELL AGAINST A MONSTER THAT SHOULD NOT BE”
“Thank you. But hold on, this method of communication is... Stressful.” you reply with a thought, an idea coming to mind. “Hold on, I will craft you a vessel to better enable communication between us.”
“UNDERSTOOD.” the planet replies, you getting the feeling it is watching you intensely. You get the feeling the world is curious, unsure what you're going to do but observing curiously. So you step out into the middle of the room, taking a deep breath and slowly sighing out to focus your power. Drawing not only your own power in with your next breath, but the power of the leylines too as on the exhale you speak the words to your spell.
“Crystal Magic: Crystal Conduit.” you breathe out, holding your hands up and channeling your mana from your body out into the world. You watch as the tiny crystal forms then rapidly expands, however instead of making the usual octahedron prism, this time as your magic imbued with the planet's own keeps swelling into the crystal. Forming a dodecahedron out of your crystals, but it doesn't stop there. Instead, each flat surface begins to spike with crystal, forming a unique, pointed power source than anything you've ever made before. Leaving you speechless. “...Woah. It's... Beautiful.”
Turning it over in your hands, you see that one side is malformed, misshapen, yet oddly that just feels right. You'd considered straightening it out, but some instinct tells you that it's better this way.</span>
