In order to speed along the process of restoring the edges of my forest I conscripted every plant manipulator skilled enough to properly grow one of my trees, which is roughly half of the plant manipulators in our empire. With that, I managed to nearly double the speed I could regrow, allowing me to finish with a day instead of two. I really should have done this earlier.
Now I need to decide on what to do next. Maybe I'll find the person that carved out a castle out of stone and ask to bring it to life. Yeah, I think I will do that.
I did find exactly what I was looking for on the terminal; and ideal testing facility for nuclear fire. A place where Dulcian can experiment with the stuff without the risk of causing damage to other things. It does cost a ridiculous amount of mana, but I have plenty of that. And based on the description it is entirely warranted. Between spatial magic to somehow offset it against the surrounding areas and using mana as a buffer against nuclear waste it is going to cost a lot of mana. It was expensive, but I had the funds for it.

I ended up using Digger Root to carve out a cave large enough to hold the facility. Now we just need to wait until it is completed within the next day or so, then Dulcian can get to work mastering his power over nuclear fire.
Other than that I spent my downtime down in the tunnels, taking a pleasant walk and relaxing away from the unceasing noise of the thoughts of the masses. Hearing little more than a faint whisper.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
