What am I?

Ok, looking back at it one of the first answers you gave may have been the right answer, so I'm just going to spoil it here if you need it. If you figure it out on your own, however, you're a genius:
[Time. That is the answer. If you think about it, everything should make sense. "A universal consumable" relates to how everything "consumes" time by basically existing. "Always in motion" is about how time is always in motion (kinda obvious).]
["Always in short supply" is about how people seem to always hurry, because we often have little time to do things in life (also in the grand scope of the universe,a human life is like a drop of water in a vast ocean).]
["Unpredictable" we can't predict the future. "Unstoppable" we can't stop time (kinda the same as always in motion). "Unavoidable" we have to deal with time constantly, and while we may sleep or get knocked out, we can't just not experience time.]
["An omnipotent force, strong enough to grow forests and break the ground," this one is a doozy. Basically, give anything enough time, and it will either be destroyed, made, or completely changed. "Grow forests" means two things. One, it refers to trees taking time to grow and mature. Two, it refers to family trees, where generation after generation takes time to be born, and the family trees grow as a result. "Break the ground" means how the continents (the ground) shift, break, and move over millions of years.]
["The currency of life" all life is on borrowed/bought time. "The carrier of light," I can see how this can be confusing. Idk if time is the only force at play here, but the main reason why light works, and why we see colors and everything, is because of light speed, which is based off of time]
["A magnificent river in which all of existence maneuvers and functions on," this is supposed to refer to the "flow" of time, and how everything either goes with the flow, or takes advantage of the flow to it's advantage.]
Spoilers up above. I think u know what to do.

Even with ur spoiler I'm kinda stumped, but Imma go with a sword in the rock. That's prob wrong tho  :upside_down:

Dude, that is amazing! This is genius! That is truly a perfect answer for such an awesome riddle! Amazing job JHXC!

As for my own riddle, it was like the first riddle I've ever made, and I wasn't thinking about it very much.
Hint 1: [ It sits at the top of a "dome," and is physically placed there by the limbs of a being with it's own personal "dome"]
Hint 2: [ You are right, it is symbolic in the exact same way as a flag is, it doesn't literally "hold" a city together.]
Hint 3: [ It never leaves the top of the "dome," but rather it moves with the "dome," it goes where the dome goes. ]
[Originally here I was going to say something like "but it is replaced each night" ]
Hint 4: [ I don't know what sort of material this thing is made of, but its probably silver, iron, or bronze. It is literally hard and I think probably quite durable.]

Answer: [The answer is a Crown. The "dome" is the head of the king who wears it]
