So, playing Black and White again.
I've sorted out that the creature can learn to buff itself, it's just stupid - I ended up spending half an hour teaching Kitty how to cast this one, last miracle before we left the island, to a chorus of death, death, death, and when the creature's finally learned the miracle, I set him to rest at the temple - whereupon I lost him again.
Death .... I figured out why all of my villagers were dying, anyway: it's either old age or starvation. The second village we came to is simply not producing enough food to sustain their numbers, apparently.
While waiting for my creature to recover, I discovered that replaying the rock-throwing minigame gives you some more one-shot water miracles. Nevermind that I have a water miracle dispenser. I found some other one-shot miracles due to the fireflies diving under rocks and trees - so far I have three forest miracles, two wood miracles, two fireball miracles, and one lightning miracle.
Time to go.
I have to find my creature again, because apparently he likes to wander - and when I finally do find my creature, he's collapsed from starvation because apparently he hasn't learned how to feed himself yet. Damn carnivore.
Clicking the last gold story scroll causes the Guide creature to tell you all about something called the "Creeds," brings Nemesis to my tiny little island, and is promptly incinerated horribly.
Death ....
So, that brings us to Island 2. What fun.
Oh. And near as I can tell, the Creature has no idea what to do with his newly-learned buff spell.

A God's Log: Here Kitty, Kitty!
9:12 PM Friday, Jan 7th 2011
A land of innocence has no need for gods ....
I had a random urge to do Something Not Warcraft, so I fished through my stack of old games until I hit upon Lionhead's Black and White. Some research on the Internet later, and I have a fully functioning game, since Windows 7 doesn't always play nicely with the older games. I still don't know how to get Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri to work (I hit upon the much easier solution of: when I want to play SMAC, I boot up Mom's old XP machine), for instance - even the newer games sometimes throw a fit.
I forgot how bad the graphics were.
And how long the unskippable tutorial is. Gah.
I think I wanna try and be either a good deity or at least train a good creature. Given my own Chaotic tendencies, I have problems focusing ... I suspect I'll end up failing at least one of these goals.
Here goes nothing ....
9:32 - After some exploring, I have picked out a rather silly-looking kitty cat. Probably not the best choice for a pacifist pet, but I'm not much for cattle or monkeys, and they looked even worse.
9:41 - Maybe I should build this boat so I don't have to listen to the singing. Or kill the would-be sailors ....
10:09 - I actually don't know how much mutton I need for this sheep herder - oh, five. Can't deities keep a quest log? Can I get a bloody hint? GAH!
10:22 - Oo. Huge kitty. I've actually seen him on idle exploration; he's hard to miss. Doing his quest because I suspect he's how I get to teach my Creature miracles. Blah, miracles. Blah, teaching.
Evil (Blackie?) is a coward.
Nemesis is such a ... descriptive ... name.
Yeah.
10:40 - I am going to teach this Creature to make water if it's the last thing I do.
10:46 - Where the hell is my Creature?!
10:59 - Creature kind of knows how to water trees. Teaching him to heal and buff himself. Looking for last singing stone.
11:27 - Found the last stone. Can't find stone circle anymore. GAH.
11:28 - The hippie's stones made me a damned food miracle dispenser. Thank you, GameFAQs.
11:30 - Where the hell is my Creature?!
11:32 - Death ....
11:34 - Apparently my Creature collapsed ....
11:40 - Who wants tummy rubs?!
11:50 - I'm not convinced my creature can learn to buff himself. He seems kind of stupid.
11:52 - Death ....
11:53 - Ha! He knows how to make food! Not completely hopeless. Who'ssa good kitty?
11:54 - Death ....
11:58 - Still not convinced he can learn to buff. Death ....
12:00 - Death ....
12:06 - I met the one guy who doesn't believe in me on this rock. I don't care about him at all.
12:11 - Death ... DEATH!
12:13 - Evil smells combat! ... death ....
12:19 - Where the hell is my Creature?!?
