I assume the planets are completely stationary. We don't have a light source as of yet, which probably means we have night-vision treants without photosynthesis. The smallest planet has that weird chaos glow, though.

Hey, Zanzetkuken. Would one need a Mighty Act to create a small sun which would orbit around the planets?

I had just assumed that the Wandering Light made enough light to illuminate a great deal of the Terra Firma, as well as the bottom sides of the Wanderers.

That...would be awfully convenient, but the truth is that nobody has gotten around to making light yet. I'm currently trying to figure out whether it's my job or not. We can say that the Aether is luminiferous (ha-ha), but sooner or later, somebody has to make a sun.

Well, actually, you don't really need to. Suns are just bothersome, and besides, fact is that the day night cycle is already rather screwded up. Planets will have one of course, but the ground will just be perpetually lit, with the exceptions of the planet's shadows, of course.

Or, or I could just solve this problem and make light.

Yes, but it's currently dark as fuck. There is no day-night cycle: everything's just dark. If I make a small sun which will make loops around each planet, there will be proper day, at least. Currently, any light is produced either by the smallest planet or just faint Aetheric glow.

Or, or I could just solve this problem and make light.
I approve this message.

Meh, you go on. But perhaps hurry, as I must exploit said knowledge to create super storms.

Unless they go to the other side of the world, they actually might actually think they are on a disk.
Or a turtle. Or a square. Or a tetrahedron. Or any of the other things real-life people have thought the world is.

That a problem?
Did I say it was?

Fair enough, you didn't. I was just establishing the fact that it isn't. Sorry and all.

What I meant is that you are the wandering light, therefore I assumed you emit light.

Nah, my physical manifestation doesn't - something unrelated to it does when it's present. It's in the sheet. I assume that in this case this is the Aether, and it's hardly enough light for an entire universe, especially when our first life form is photosynthetic.

Unless Wolf made the trees like Mallorn trees, which produce their own light.

Next question. Can I mess with the acts of others during the turn in which they were created.

I had just assumed that the Wandering Light made enough light to illuminate a great deal of the Terra Firma, as well as the bottom sides of the Wanderers.

Apparently in the description a portion of his avatar does emit some glow, but considering how it is described, I'm going to call it as having roughly the equivalent output of half that of what the Earth's moon reflects.  You can see the source and some other things, but not very well.

Unless Wolf made the trees like Mallorn trees, which produce their own light.

Didn't specify, so that variant does not exist.  Really, the light problem is significant to Wolf.  On the previous turn, the trees were supported by the godly power that made them, but that is waning fast and they will be relying upon natural processes, and without any light...

Hey, Zanzetkuken. Would one need a Mighty Act to create a small sun which would orbit around the planets?

Yes, but I'll call it as one Mighty Act for 3 (relatively) small sources, one for each planet.

Next question. Can I mess with the acts of others during the turn in which they were created.

You know what, I'm going to assume you can't and do something else instead.

Actually, you can.  Just try to make it subtle so the other god doesn't notice.  Gods aren't omnipresent or omniscient, but they are a lot higher up there in understanding than any mortal can achieve, so the unnoticeable falls closer to slight behavioral modifications, a slow degradation (>10 turns) of the creation, or other minor act shenanigans.
