[b]"Magic? Curious."[/b] Excelsis said. As the method was named, Excelsis felt himself developing new senses to pick up on this magic. Crystaline protrusions grew, strange lenses revealed other powers in the skies. How curious. This magic was omnipresent and usable by seemingly anything and everything. Mastering it would be simple then.

The insult slid off of him like water off of a duck. He wasn't stupid. He was, perhaps, the smartest of them all. [b]"Because any attempt to shatter me might break yourself as well."[/b] Excelsis pointed out. He would defend himself of course. [b]"Besides, I only did what was natural. I saw a perfect version of myself and attempt to become it. Any reasonable divine would've done the same thing as I did."[/b] The god-orb said rather matter-of-factly. He did question why there were no more consumed Patrons and Matrons?

[b]"Why do you even care for this Patron?"[/b] Excelsis went on. [b]"They are of reality. We manipulate reality to our wishes. They are our natural born lessers."[/b] Again the question was sincere. It seemed that the god must suffer some delussion and the Lord-Eminence was determined to figure out what kind it was so he could better steel himself against it.

"They aren't rocks, or grains of dirt. They have feelings, identities, sense of purpose, and self awareness. There's so much more to them than just being tools." Orranoth pointed out. "If the only thing making someone worthy of life is power, then all living things are in a clear and present, AND future danger."
