Don't be so sad, sad man! The crystal has returned your powers to you!

Everything looks great! The same creation magic nerf applies to Hermes as the rest of the ancients - nothing taller than ten feet, and any living creature that's created can only exist temporarily. If you want a creature he's created to exist permanently, you are welcome to wish for it as an animal companion! (Hyth has done such with an ambystoma, for example.)

You now have 22 shards left in the bank.
