[quote name='King Manu' post='3984' date='Nov 23 2007, 05:51 AM']sort of, but more its like they are ways to express your spiritual energy. Like the energy is your voice and the creatures are the words you speak. You can train them, improve them, and make them more powerfull.
I have a probelm with the word sacrifice at the sacrifice altar, i cant find something more suitable.
Its not that you sacrifice them like 'slaughter' its more like you turn them back to you and 'asimilate' their acumulated knowledge and energy, turning them into permanent stats. This is not sacrifice but i cant find a better word for it.
The "fenth press" is good there, as it represents a material way of handling imaterial stuff. You turn your creatures into energy egs then you crush them ..thats the process of sacrificeing them.[/quote]
so in a since the creatures are like dreams or summoned spirits ? manifestations of parts of our minds and we can control them like we control waking dreams like in dream walking ...
and for a word that would work for sacrifice .... maybe
immolation
something offered to a god<offered an immolation of her hair to placate the god>
so immolate might be better cause it does not sound like you are slaughtering something
