"Wh... what's going on?" You ask as the translucent pure crystals attached to the smooth outer rock of the geode circle around you like a miniature asteroid belt around the sun. "What did you do!?" You demand. Meanwhile, you begin to feel a heavy force pressing in on you from all the stone fragments circling around you. The stones themselves are not touching you, but you know it's them creating this pressure that is like a weight pressing in on you from your shoulders to your hips.

"I am granting your wish, master." The djinn says. "That stone contained the essence of a slain god. It was a mere minor god, nothing compared to some of the named gods you may have heard about, but by breaking that stone you shall receive it's powers, and it's powers meet all the criteria you asked for with this wish, and it covers all those items for your previous wish as well. It was a god of manipulation and had the power to change and alter all things. So, you even get a bonus of the ability to alter non-living things in addition to the living things you wished for. However, you will not receive any powers of creation from this."

The pressure from the stones swirling around you becomes extreme, you imagine you can hear your arms and your ribs starting to break. A white searing hot pain can be felt from behind your eyeballs, and your vision begins to blur out. You can hear a sound of someone screaming, and it takes you a moment to actually even realize that those screams are coming from you. You are certain for a while as this goes on that you are going to die. You have no idea how long this goes on for, but after some time living in this intense pain that only seemed to be getting worse and finding new horrible ways to make you experience new levels of torture, it all suddenly stops and the clear crystals of the geode fall to the ground. When this happens, you are left feeling none of the pain from mere seconds ago. You do not really feel any different, but the pain is gone. It is as though it is a distant memory. Somehow, after all that, and hearing that the stone was transforming you into a god, you thought that you might feel more powerful. The reality is though, you actually feel quite normal.
