Stage Manipulation
God (Dungeon Seeker) controls reality and the world as a play on a stage, with those he summons being nothing more then props and actors playing the roles he sets for them.
Power/Ability to:	Manipulate the stage of reality.

"All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad. Then a soldier, full of strange oaths. And then the justice, full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts his youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, is mere oblivion. Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."

― William Shakespeare
