Turn 2: DramaJim Tam Jones was most pleased with the magnificent tile he had made. With only this gravy Jim Tam Jones shall create things never before dreamed of! In fact, that is exactly what he wrote in his journal.
Gravy??? Jim Tam Jones wrote, then followed it up with Gravy!!!
These were sure to be very influential notes, Jim Tam Jones thought in his infinite wisdom at first, but then decided that something was missing. Having considered it for a moment, Jim Tam Jones added another exclamation mark to the powerful statement.
Major Action: if the tile is not actually gravy (taste it to be sure), make it so! If it is gravy, improve its nutritional value!
Minor Action: summon more notes to write my immense wisdom upon!
Mmmm, gravy...
[4] That confirmed, you increase its nutritional value. Now you can have gravy for EVERY meal!
[5] You summon a flurry of pink post-it notes, swirling around you like dramatic cherry blossoms.

+Sempai Amber"Hm. This world is harder to change than I thought. Oh well, challenge just makes it more interesting!"
Major Action: build a life-creation-oriented workshop on the current tile.
Minor Action: warpforge a shovel for easier collection of silt.
[1] You sort of get carried away with the
manipulation of life and end up with a necromantic siltstone lab. Oops?
[3] You will yourself a compact hand shovel.
+Warpforged Utility Shovel"Hmm... Not quite what I was going for, but I suppose I can leave worrying about aesthetics for later."
Major Action: Construct a lab to conduct my research in.
Minor Action: Try to improve my logbook a bit. At the very least, try to make it a bit closer to "real" than it currently is.
[3] You get a little lazy, and end up with more of a cluttered study than a proper laboratory.
[1] There is no
spoon logbook.
-Warpforged Notepad and Quill"Hmm... Most peculiar."
Major Action: Erect a building, to use as a laboratory. (Magic laboratory?)
Minor Action: Grow grass on the dirt.
[5] You make a fancy lab with tables and beakers and a summoning circle and everything.
[6] You end up stuffing yourself into the ground. In retrospect, carefully cultivating life in a specialized laboratory sounds like a better plan for making grass.
+Research Amber
+Burrowing AmberMatt was happy with his light-source-thing. But it needed some... improving.
Major action:Make a focusing lens and place it around the Light Source
Minor action: Place the battery in the path of the beam.
[4] You make a focusing lens, and put it near the star.
[3] The gem ends up storing some light energy, but it's not very good at it, probably because the light itself isn't magical.
+Warpforged Battery Gem (Weak Light)Danielle hated mirrors, but didn't want to waste her newly created object, so she kept the mirror by her side.
Major Action: Create water on the islands. If possible, turn these into waterfalls.
[6] You create water on the island, but there's no place for it to really go to make a waterfall.
Oh wait! Yes there is. You're sure dumping it into the Void will have no side effects.

((EDIT: Whoops, forgot Amber. Added.))
I know you said you had little interest in a waitlist, but this looks like too much fun, so I figured I'd submit my name anyway.
Name: Felicia Hasting
Appearance: Light skinned female with deep purple eyes and hair that is nearly white, with only a tint of yellow. Above average height, but not absurdly so. She has strange purple "tattoos" which cover her fair skin and seem to twist and swirl about on their own accord.
Personality: Her noodles are al dente. In this case that doesn't mean just right, it means full of teeth. Lions teeth. She likes lions. After all, who wouldn't?
Goals: She wants to design a world that is perfect for lions. But even though lions are the best, she thinks she could make them better. She wants a perfect world for the perfect lions.
Other: There isn't much else to know about Felicia. She tells a lot of different stories for how she got into the void. Most involve lions. None of them make any sense.
Added just in case.
((Further questions:
Question 1: Are our creations in this world limited by conventional physics and biology? In a hypothetical scenario where someone succesfully uses necromancy to raise a few barrels' worth of crude oil, does the resulting undead-shoggoth-thingy have the capacity to move despite having no muscles or bones?
Question 2: can we get bonuses to certain actions - upgrading structures, for example - by crafting tools? Can non-complex things, like shovels and picks, give us bonuses? Can we pass on the bonuses to our minions if we give them the tools in question?))
1. I wouldn't say magic solves
everything, but ambulatory goo is certainly feasible.
2. Depends on what you mean by "bonuses." Allowing more complex actions is sort of a given, bonuses to rolls are less likely. Simple tools can give bonuses to simple actions, though since most of your simple actions are probably using wizardry they're of questionable utility. I might let you bypass rolling entirely if you tried to do something reasonable in a completely mundane fashion. Minions can get bonuses from tools, especially since they'll probably have to use them instead of their absurd wizard-magic, but of course most of them would probably need several.
