"Creation" was not anything paltry like magecraft. A thousand years of research and a hundred generations of magi wouldn't even be able to touch the mystery of the spell. It was even more mysterious than True Magic itself. Reaching the Root would only be able to give you an ability that is a pale imitation of what 'Creation' can do. Even divine authority - at least in the sense in which it is understood by the magi and those initiated into the secrets of this world, would be the only thing that can describe a small part of what is happening.

An ordinary person could well say that what is happening could not be anything other than an act of god.

To say that the world has become like clay that is worked on by a mysterious purpose is close to describing what is happening, but not truly. Rather, to an outside observer, it was like the world that they have observed before the spell, was nothing more than a thin layer of varnish that was erased in order to reveal the true picture hidden underneath it.

There was no transition from the world that was to the world that is now. It's just like the world simply took the form that it had originally, it was just as if a person wearing dirty glasses finally cleaned it. It was a sensation incomparable with anything else one could just imagine. The world simply took the form that, according to the design and consciousness of a person, it should have had. Such a process was so unusual and at the same time so natural that even the Servants who were in the Singularity that watched what was happening from the inside, were ready to swear that the Singularity - if it could even be called a Singularity now at all - was the only correct and natural one...

Ainz's magic did not make any drastic changes to the world. The island remained exactly the same as it was before. The ugly holes that were gnawed away by the monsters of Cainabel were no more, turning the site of battle again into a small cozy beach. It was if there was never a fight in the first place

The cracks in the ground from the fall of Camelot also disappeared. Even the forest that was there before has returned with wildlife now populating it again, a faint sound of chirps could be heard.

The sea, agitated by the volleys of the Drake fleet, calmed down. Once again turning the calamitous sea into a calm one, with calm foamy waves lapping at the white sandy beach. Even the destruction Megalos and Jason had caused, disappeared.

The world took the form of such an ideal idility that even the Servants that five seconds ago were locked in a battle to the death would have laughed at the mere suggestion that in this absolutely quiet and peaceful corner of the world there could ever be a fight at all. Not even between Servants, but even between a couple of arguing tourists who arrived on the island for holidays.

The sky, which had before collapsed with the sound of cracking glass, was now light and serene, with clouds quietly floated across the sky.

Still the only thing that did not fit into the idyllic picture of the world was the gaping black funnel in the sky. Even more, against the background of the new, peaceful environment, it stood out like a sore thumb, It was as if a drop of black paint was casually spilled on a finished painting, spoiling the appearance of an ideal picture.

Ainz slowly lowered his raised hands.

Everything went better than he thought! No, it was even better than he could have hoped for!

The Super-Tier Magic 'Creation' in the game was used as an ability for a purely utilitarian purpose. The magic was primarily used to neutralize negative field effects and for some very rare cases to create them purposefully. For example, in an icy wasteland in order to remove a nasty status field effect that constantly inflicted damage and slowed down players. Or in the event of a large scale battle, to provide a field advantage. For example, to create a lake of magma that would damage those without sufficient Heat resistance. However, the 'lore' of this ability was much more impressive.
