'HA Ha... ha. This is taking longer than I expected, I thought they would be quick in killing the spiders, they are not. They barely work together, their attack's just seem to be bite, hell, they even bump into each other when attacking, but it is working as, so far they have killed 18 spiders. Wonder how close I am to levelling up, I believe I should be 1 spider away, buuut, lets make sure.'

'Yea, 1, and my mana has recovered a good chunk, I can almost make all my spiders have red eyes, but lets wait until I level up before doing anything more, speaking of it looks like red eyes, and his partner are about to finish off another one.'
My 2 spiders are fighting 1 spider, on the wall, near the entrance. Red eyes goes in for a bite, and takes a chunk out of the abdomen not a big chunk but enough to cause damage, at the same time, spider 2 snakes in a bite to the head, the spider retaliates by biting into red's leg, then attempting to run, then spider 2 puts another bite into the same head, the spider falls limp to the ground, then closes it's leg's on itself.

'Taking all things into account, it means I am awesome... ahem. I can now convert the rest of the spiders in the cave which is 8 left may as well.'
-8 Mana
'Now I have... 15, 15 Spiders under yours truly, (me). so I have 12 mana left, now, I can either, start evolving almost everyone, or learn healing, though nobody is seriously injured from what I can tell though... nah, I will go with evolution, but this time I will go with a more overall improvement, toughness, sharpness, as well as, making them larger. Oh, wait no, I can just evolve one to have all those attributes, and make it reproduce, I always thought that was one of the great ideas that, writers often came up with.'
'Red eyes is already special, and I have bigger plans for him soo... YOU!' I point at a random spider.
Alright the usual routine just different intent. sharper, tougher, bigger. I pull mana from my core and into the spider.
-3 Mana
The spider, immediately begins changing, growing to the size of a toddler, armour thickening and becoming jagged, like mountains, it's mouth and legs sharpen to the point of looking like spears. It stands, towering over it's kin, with a dark gleam across it's fangs in the blue light.
'.... Perfect.'
'Focus, I know it is cool, but remember why you made it. now for the last step.'
Intention: Self reproduction, and quick reproduction.
-2 Mana
The spider begins to shift, it's abdomen, growing larger and larger, growing to the size of a balloon, then stopping.
'That looked to have worked. Now I need it to reproduce, and since these guys don't do anything without me telling them...'
"Move to the back of the cave, and begin reproducing."
'I am really going to have to learn to expand, and make rooms, sooner rather than later though... Lets see if the spider will work first.'
The spider moves to the back of the cave, lays 3 large eggs, then builds a cocoon out of webs around them, presumably to protect them, I then look toward the little spiders.
"Cover the entrance in webs" I may as well do something, with little these guys for now.
Looking at the cocoon I notice that the cocoon is beginning to expand then it bursts open. Out walk 3 spiders, much like the mother, but half the size, along with a smaller abdomen, they then stand around for a few seconds, before growing rapidly to the size of their mother, still with a smaller abdomen than their mother, which is a good thing, as I didn't want them to become egg layers.
'Now to see if they are loyal.'
"Help the little spiders." The spiders proceed to the little spiders, and begin helping them cover the entrance.
'Good, good, good hehehe... I should really get help. now that I know that spiders born here become loyal automatically. I have to figure out how to expand and build.
As you may have guessed, I am going to follow the same steps that other have in the novels.
'lets go wiiiiiiiith.... The simplest! just send mana to the edge of my domain!'
I pull mana, mix it with the expand intent, then throw it hehehe.
-1 Mana
The mana flies forward to the back of my cave, barely missing the spider, then crashing and being absorbed into the edge of my vision which then expands in that direction by 1 meter or around there... IT IS HARD TO TELL WHEN YOU CAN SEE FROM BOTH FAR AND CLOSE AT THE SAME TIME OK?!!!, ahem but about a meter.
'Well seeing as that worked, I may as well continue until I run out of mana, Oh it looks like the egg layer has laid 3 more eggs in the cocoon and sealed it up again.'

"Why, oh Why, did I decide it would be a good idea, to take up a quest to investigate the base of this, dammed mountain, IN the middle of summer, especially wearing this heavy ass chainmail, n leather... At least the trees give me some shade to work with, sigh. so the hunters said all the animals ran away and are avoiding this area..."
