"Do it on the boss." I said, idea springing into my head.
"Oh, good point." He picked up the hammer and moved over to the boss, dragging the large thing along the floor behind him, it was nearly twice as long as he was tall. He got up to the battered corpse of the boss and said something quietly.
"Awaken."
The boss's corpse jolted and a thin layer of green and golden light drifted up from the corpse. The light travelled until it was as high above the ground as the boss stood, the light then spread downwards, like vines, creating the body of a giant made from vines with golden leaves and moss as hair and golden metal armour.
"Here you go." Fulcrum dropped the end of the hammer he had been dragging and stepped back from it. The giant bent down and picked it up, the hammer grew slightly to more accurately fit it's dimensions as a war hammer. The giant smiled, an expression woven out of numerous fibers.
"So, can you do that with these guys?" I asked, pointing back to my zombie horde.
"I'll give it a shot." He walked forwards, the giant behind him watching intently, and spoke. "Awaken"
Each of the zombies had their undead life force ripped out of them, green vines growing grotesquely out from their dead skin. In moments the vines had grown out and devoured the original corpse, golden armour and moss growing outwards untill the form was complete. He now had almost 40 of his new summons, by checking their stats I saw that they were just less powerful than their original forms, but vastly more powerful than their undead counterparts.
"They count as their own catagory of summon, remnants. I can store up to my level add my intelligence score of them." He was muttering to himself. Then, turning to me he said "Watch this."
He activated some sort of skill because suddenly all of the 'remnants' burst into golden flame and those flames flew in streams towards Fulcrum. He didn't scream so I judged that he was okay. Eventually the flames subsided and I could catch a minor glimpse of gold light in his eyes which soon disappeared.
"That was pretty cool." I looked about at the empty space where his summons had previously stood, he had put all of his normal summons away as well.
"Yeah, best thing is though, I can summon them instantly as well." He waved his hand, a gold flame leapt from it and grew rapidly, vines and armour growing from it in less than a second, to someone who didn't have as high agility as I did, they would've marked it as instant. A giant stood there, over forty feet in height, hefting a golden axe over its shoulder.
"Nice." I looked over the summon, I was admittedly jealous of this skill but knew that I could probably beat it.
"I know," he absorbed the remnant back in "Anyway, time to get back to the town so I can be re-appraised again." He grinned, walking over.
"By the way," I said, placing my hand on his shoulder "Where'd that hammer go?"
He looked about and then looked directly ahead, nodding his head, "Any items my remnants have on them get absorbed with them so they can use it later."
"Awesome." And we appeared, in a burst of light, at the registration building.
"You'll be off then?" He asked.
"Yup, I'll being going to meet that guy who keeps bugging me." I held out two small rings. "I want you to have one of these and give the other to Krystin."
"What are they?" He asked, placing his on his finger.
"They're rings with a minor enchantment on them. If you're in enough danger that you need my help then activate the ring, it'll send an image of the location to me and I'll teleport there."
"Thanks, I'll be sure to give it to her." He nodded, striding off to the building that was almost fully repaired, though sounds of drinking could be heard from inside.
"See ya." I called after him. Then took off. In an instant I was at cloud level, I arced around the fortress and landed on the highest roof. My agility stat meant that I could pull off these manouvers at incredible speeds with great precision. I cast my gaze upon the large sky fort and decided to try what I was thinking.
A large black disk appeared below the fortress, an opening to my storage, it moved up, collecting the whole of the area into it. I drifted above the height of it and closed it. The fortress was gone, successfully stowed away.
"Well done me." I took out my map, created a compass and selected the direction of the capital. I then absorbed as much mana as I could get my proverbial hands on, over ten trillion points, and activated my arcane form, becoming a god-like being. The strange thing about changing into a completely different type of creature was that it felt natural, almost meant to be. I turned to the horizon where the capital was, placed the things I was somehow still holding in storage, and shot off to that place.
Fields and small villages flew past so fast that everything began to blur into one of I didn't focus on it, the flows of mana became continuous lines of blue that ran parallel to me.
In no time I was flying towards a grand city made from a golden stone that rose up over two hundred metres, with large walls surrounding it. I slowed as I approached so that I had come to a stop above the city. It was divided into two sections, one which was larger and had smaller houses made of this golden stone, and the other was smaller but filled with large estates instead. An upper and lower city. In the more well off part of the city, the upper city, a large estate, more than three times the amount of the next largest, dominated the area. It had a grand castle of gold in the middle and I knew this was the king's place. Turning invisible and incorporial, I shot down to the castle.
Reaching the castle grounds, I slowed and took a look around. It was a massive golden castle-like fort that was far larger than any I had seen in my previous world. It was built in a capital h shape, with five towers extending upwards from the centre and the four corners. The central tower was far wider than the other four and so that was where I flew to, phasing through the golden walls.
The top floor was a a guard post, each soldier had a chrome suit of armour on, and each was elven. I floated further down, passing various rooms such as a treasury and a barracks for the guards, untill I reached the ground floor. It opened up suddenly into a large chamber akin to the various boss rooms I had been in. Except this was golden with a red carpet leading up to a throne with a man on. The man had golden skin, but I could clearly see him talking to one of his subordinates next to him. I appraised him.

'Eladrin, must be a summer eladrin. That explains why his skin is gold.'
His strength is extremely high as well, my three highest stats added together were just enough to beat that score. In this form though, I should've had no problem. I waited, floating twenty feet above the ground, for him to finish his conversation with his subject. Once the elf in fancy clothing retreated, walking briskly put of the room to the large doors, I landed where he had knelt. Then I appeared.
"What the- Guards!" The king shouted, standing up from his throne. I focused and his shouts turned low, prolonged. The doors crept open a smidge and I barricaded the whole room, a shimmering layer of blue energy covered the walls and ceiling.
"Hey, King." I said, my voice a basey sound that reverberated through the room. The king froze.
"What are you?" He asked, a hint of fear appearing in his voice.
In response, I created a small blue sun in the palm of my hand.
"You are that mage?" He stood up off of his throne.
