(Rob, I think you'll find the answer to your first musing when I get done writing the next part. Suffice it to say you're already on the right track to get the full set of elements, and neither of those sets is it.I think I mentioned that about the roast earlier. Don't worry- you have the concept for it!As for the body, I'll spoil this now. Yes, you can create a body, inhabit it, and leave it as you will. Your true form is what you are now- whatever you choose to inhabit might be alive (if you figure out how to create life) and part of you (while you occupy it, at least), but it's not your actual body. Being physical makes you both more and less vulnerable, and makes you both more and less capable.)
You split off some of your attention, and skim through your memories. For your next trick, you'll need something small, fairly simple... ah! An apple. That'll do.

[Concept {Apple} Developed!]
It takes you barely any effort to conceptualize an apple, and a bare minimum of your nearly-recovered Will- and, more importantly, your attention- to bring it into existence. The rest of your attention is focused inwards, to see how your self and your power interact.
[Huginn- Target: 10(+20)= 30Roll: 14SUCCESS]
The first thing you notice is that 'concepts' are the same sort of fragments that make up your thoughts and memories, only... more so. Perfected, in form and function. They are forged in the core of your mind, in the shape of the inspiration you provide, from... wherever the silver light comes from. You tried to peer through the tiny, tiny hole in- well, everything- that it all came from, but what you saw made no sense at all. If you had eyes, they'd be crossed. If you had a head, it'd be splitting.
Then you watch, as a small measure of silver light streams out of your core. It threads its way around everything, from the framework that is/supports your Existence, to the thoughts and memories built on it. It passes through your outer bubble, the edge of your mind/reality, without even a ripple, and changes from light to Red Delicious without a hitch.
Huh. It doesn't seem to interact with the structure of your mind at all. Guess you just need the concept so that you can tell it exactly what to do.
(The structural weaknesses just mean that you can currently see ways to bolster your Integrity. Actually, all your stats can be raised, in a number of different ways, many of which I've hinted at already. If you try to do this, you have to explain how it is to be done, both in terms of what stats you use to do it, and in terms of the conceptual basis for making yourself work better.
The next bit of Creation will come after I finish TNM for the day.)
