That might've done something.

@Ze-Epik > AP recharges to full at the end of every turn.
Teddy wonders whether or not he is able to learn Piercing Blow.
Piercing Blow (16 AP) : Deals 1/2 of a normal attack's damage, but disregards defense points.
Time to learn: uhhh 15 actions???
I still have no idea if the bomb exploded at Smithia.
I still kick the bomb anyways and bludgeon 2 times to give Smithia further stat drop.

We must now do more completely random ritual stuff (68/70)
Gonna do it too! (69/70)
I learn Overdrive Resonance on the way (5/21)
I bludgeon Smithia for the last time. They will learn something from their experience. And the lesson is: Never go for monies.
Yes.
I sacrifice 12 dead elephants, except we don't have 12 dead elephants, but it contributes to the progress anyway (69.5/70)
I do what I've been doing again 3 times.
I continue to learn Piercing Blow (2/15).
I do some more random ritual stuff, but the counter doesn't increase much (69.75/70).

Day ended due to shop being bombed.
Mischief activates a time warp, resetting the shop to it's original state. However you're too tired to continue doing your business.
Shade cursed your shop with a filthy nega-perk.
Eheheh - Customers have higher Intellect.
Hehehe - Failing to haggle brings negative effects.
Smitha also dropped a letter! It reads "plz kil des guis, dey hevnt ben bakin enugh cupcakes and now i sad :(" Despite this it appears the reason Smitha attacked has nothing to do with the letter and they probably haven't even read it yet.
A blazing wisp grabs the letter without anyone noticing, and throws it in the mailbox, addressing it to a specific person.
I suppose we're not the people who aren't baking enough cupcakes?
Nonetheless, I make a vote to add Cupcakes to the menu consistently.
Yes or no?
Since I'm tired, I go to sleep. That's what people do when tired, right?
I tell Pickles to hurry up and finish the ritual already (69.99999999999/70)
I continue to learn Piercing Blow (3/15).
Btw, Shade said in the letter that he will take Mischief by force if we don't give this cat within 3 days. I go for Eheheh, since it is less destructive than Hehehe.
-----
Smithia again fled. Dam.
I learn Overdrive Resonance (6/21)
I finalize the ritual with some sacrifices and some blood (70/70) and wait for Pickles to initialize the summoning process. He has control over the ritual cuz he created it.
I go to sleep too. During my sleep, I notice my elderly constructor telling me the following:
"If someone threatens you with taking your favorite thing by force and then instead of doing that he curses you, then it means that he spares you and your favorite thing at a small cost."
And then Estcher's face appears in front of me, with an evil smile.
The number corrects itself (69.9375/70)
I finish the ritual (70/70)
The ritual grows bright, the fire from the candles swirl around, lightning strikes, lens flares are added, and other fancy ritual stuff happens.
A figure slowly rises from the center of the ritual. After a while, the figure begins floating, before falling back to the ground and making all the fancy ritual stuff disappear.
The completely ordinary lamp known as THE MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THE UNIVERSE stands in the center of the ritual.
I put the lamp next to the cash register, since we don't have one yet.
I continue to learn Piercing Blow (4/15)
So what happens when we turn the lamp on?
Dee stares intensely at the lamp, slack-jawed in indescribable disbelief.
Let's just say a lamp is one of the last things he expects from days worth of ritual work.
Dee proceeds to examine the lamp.
So wait, we were wasting 70 freaking turns on a [REDACTED] LAMP? Nope, I am out.
I go out of the cake shop and scream all over the Genericogsfield.
Mischief seems offended for some reason and starts trying to shove the lamp off the counter.
The ordinary lamp somehow manages to give Mischief a confused look before teleporting away when nobody is looking.
Dee returns his attention to the counter top, having briefly watched the people passing by the storefront.
"Strange," he thinks to himself. "I could've sworn the lamp was there a second ago. I didn't even look at it long enough to form a physical description of it."
Dee decides to pay the disappearance no mind as there are more pressing matters for him to address, now with Smithia gone and the ritual finished.
"Hey boss!" Dee calls out to Pickles, "mind infusing this orange seed with dark magiks?"
Dee's been hanging onto those orange seeds he bought, thinking of ways to make them grow fast.
Cursing them probably isn't the greatest idea... but hey, what could possibly go wrong?
I return to the cake shop only to notice the self-proclaimed powerful being in the universe lamp is gone.
I stand surprised in front of the counter. Maybe it is really powerful, and has good camouflage - as a decoration.
I go out to collect some parts for our cake shop. Before I go out, I write a note and put it on the counter.
It is the following:
If Estcher comes to the shop, make sure you inspect him carefully.
If you find something unusual then interrogate or kill him.
Make sure you hide the message.
Pickles looks at Dee and the seeds, before he uses Very Dark Grey Regularember on the orange seeds.
This is going to go terribly wrong, isn't it?

After burning the orange seeds with evil flames, they start to hum slightly. Roots somehow sprout out of the seeds and then they turn into MoNsTeRs!!! They're about 2 feet tall so they shouldn't be much of a threat. Watch out for the Mini Orange Dragons.
Mischief immolates one of the dragons, and it grows a little bigger because a plant dragon absorbs fire somehow.
Oh, and Dee got a message to deliver 2 Choco Slices and 2 Plain Slices for about $21.00. Two turns away.
Pickles looks at the plants, wondering if he can use this somehow.
((Are the plant dragons stuck in one place or can they walk around?))
Dee throws his arms up in success. Really, Dee was going to accept anything that results, but plant dragons definitely appeals to his sense of coolness.
Dee decides to keep the dragon Mischief immolated as a personal pet, naming it "Tugarin" (because Dee can't think of something original).
As new beings freshly brought into this world, nobody has any idea what the disposition of these dragons are like, or what they eat for that matter. That is something for Dee to figure out, surely and perhaps painfully.
Upon receiving the delivery request, Dee panics a bit. He was planning to take the bike out for a test drive after having Pickles enchant his seeds, but it seems now that Dee will have to do the shakedown while on the job.
Donning a set of biker gear, Dee loads the cake slices into the delivery box behind the motorbike seat. Making sure his phone GPS is working and that the motorbike is properly fueled, Dee twists the key and gives his bike a good rev.
Taking Tugarin along upon his shoulders for the ride, Dee sets off for his first delivery.
Uhh, you probably shouldn't take them along.
They could attack us and we haven't really done anything to try to tame them. You should probably wait until we find out more about them before claiming one as a pet.
Pickles observes the plant dragons from a distance.
The lamp meanwhile teleports to a random spot in the room while nobody's looking at that spot.
I return to the cake shop with [insert the useful item name here] only to discover walking plants.
I decide to attempt to tame them. Maybe they will help with inspection when Estcher comes?
The mini orange dragons attack the team, spitting shattered orange seeds at both Pickles and Matik.
The dragon with Dee starts shooting other people with shattered orange seeds.
Mischief tries casting Lacerate on one of the dragons, but it doesn't do anything. Mischief gives up and panics, running around the room trying to avoid getting shot.
Pickles' magic intuition tells him that someone is going to come to the shop in about 2 minutes!
I attempt to get the mini orange dragons somewhere else and tell Matik to deal with the customer.
Dee begins to notice Tugarin commiting drive-bys from the corner of his visor.
"Hmm. I really should've seen that coming," Dee nonchalantly thinks to himself. He sure hopes those seed shots aren't lethal.
Dee stops for a bit to message his customer to leave the money under the doormat, explaining that his current predicament is going to prevent them from exchanging face to face.
Ignoring the pot shots Tugarin is making, Dee soldiers forth to the customer's front door. Working very quickly, he swipes the money from under the doormat (if there are any) and leaves the boxes of cake slices neatly on top.
Finishing his mission with a ringing of the doorbell, Dee rushes on top his bike and speeds off to an isolated portion of the city to deal with the problem literally upon his shoulder tops.
I forgot to say that there were 3 dragons from the start (including Dee's pet).
Oh, and Matik returned with a pack of gummy bears.
I feed one of the dragons the gummy bears.
I give Pickles the gummy bears and prepare for the customer.
Pickles finally manages to shove both of the orange dragons in the storage room, but they still keep trying to shoot the team through the glass panel in the door. Luckily it doesn't make that much noise.
Dee goes through a process of exchanging the cake and money through the dog door since the owner didn't trust just putting his money out for someone to grab.
Before the customer comes in Pickles tosses some gummy bears into the storage room, and one of the orange dragons scarfs them down. It then starts to mutate into a... oh hey the customers here.
Lex wants to buy 3 Chocolate Slices for $20.00.
Dee drives into an isolated section of Genericogsfield with Tugarin, who luckily doesn't start shooting Dee's new biker helmet with cracked orange seeds. In order to tame this creature properly you'd probably need something that plants usually like...
By the way the anatomy for the Orange Dragon is...
It's head is an orange with fangs made from orange seeds.
It's eyes are small slits in the orange. It blinks too.
It's body is skeletal-ish made with a orange-ish root-like substance.
It has claws are in sets of four all made from orange peel.
It can't fly.
Sell. Not gonna risk the curse.
I go talk to the lamp that Pickles summoned, sometimes looking at the counter to check if Estcher or Shade aren't standing there.
I get some water and water the orange dragons, since plants like that.
I didn't say I was watering Dee's orange dragon.
The lamp sits there doing nothing as Matik talks to it.
Smithia has received a hearty concussion from being attacked a lot.
Smithia is Dazed. Accuracy -25%. Evade -50%.
Mischief's spell had a lasting effect on Smithia.
Smithia is Apathetic. VIT=50, ATK=50, MAG=50, AGL=50, DEF=50, AEG=50.
