hmmmm. I suppose. I wasn't thinking anything about the earth. But now that you mention is, it has me thinking. Have you ever see those videos where were people our molten metal into antholes, and then wait for it to cool and harden. Then dig the metal up. It takes the form of the ant colony below the the surface.

It's a popular trend, because people think it looks cool, and other people find it oddly satisfying. Me personally? I think it's kind of disgusting. The way they branch off like that is too organic. The propagation is eerie. I've tried to explain this feeling to people before, and they think I'm crazy. But I don't like seeing things that rapidly grow in this way. Makes me itchy.

Anyway, the idea is that the mages would first dig deep into the soil. And then distribute the blood along thin holes and trenches. Slowly adding dirt in layers. Making this a rather labor intensive task. They would probably have a couple assistants with them to move the dirt while they do the finer work of blood distribution.

The result would be a network of "veins" under the soil. Or you could think of them as chakra pathways. The paths ensure that the power flows in such a way as to support a single living entity. Over time, the the living entity manifests in the soil. Encasing the veins with hardened flesh. And when it finally gains consciousness, it pulls itself out.
