Examining my own body with Solar Energy is actually really intuitive, though that might just be caused by my knowledge in healing. Regardless it is something I managed to get the hang of pretty quickly, so I decided to practice on some undead. Only the first one exploded, I had to apologize to Azrezel for that one. The second time I tried I successfully managed to avoid the Solar Energy interacting with mana, allowing me to get a better feel for using it inside another creature. The information I get from Solar Energy is different, the basics are all there but some of the more in-depth information isn’t quite present, not better or worse than mana, just different. A bit of testing later and I realized I could use both of them together to get a more complete picture of what is going on in someone’s body. It is a small thing, but it will make it easier to heal some injuries.

I spent most of the rest of the day working with Lace. I named it that because when I have it grow the way it wants to grow above ground it looks like a really fine Lace. Anyway, experimenting with it proved fruitless, it was too weak to affect anything larger than my pinky nail. On top of that, it is super complicated and incredibly inefficient. It was definitely not created by Origin, it’s too complicated to have been done in their early days and too poorly made to be done in their later days.

So I ended up spending most of my time refining it, but I wasn’t able to get it to the point where I was satisfied enough to let it evolve for the first time quite yet. I’m getting close, but everything is such a tangled mess that it is taking longer than it should. The worst part is every single piece of it seems to be vitally important to the function of the plant so I can’t even try to throw any part of it away.

No bites on Demon Glass quite yet, though I have looked into other alternatives. Anything of acceptable quality is still just as prohibitively expensive. The most readily available stuff is dungeon cores, but the high-grade ones are ludicrously expensive and they are outright banned on the terminal marketplace, which makes sense I guess. You don’t want people trading around corpses.

I did find out that it is possible to challenge another dungeon to a fight regardless of where they are in the world, the two dungeons will be connected at their entrances and are able to send creatures in to fight the other dungeon. It is also the only method I know of for a dungeon core to temporarily leave their dungeon without quickly dying. It isn’t necessary for the person being challenged to accept the challenge, but attacking them anyway is liable to get someone much bigger than you to return the favor unless you have some pretty good reason for doing so. Actually killing another dungeon in one of these fights is also frowned upon, though not quite as much as attacking someone without permission. If you manage to kill a dungeon during one of these fights it is your right to keep everything in their dungeon that you can grab before it collapses, including their core. Needless to say, if your core is caught in their dungeon when it finished collapsing you are going to die. It was definitely an interesting read when I came across this information, I don’t think it will ever really be useful unless someone attacks me. I’m too weak to really stand up to anyone and I’m not much of a fighter. It is also really taxing on the actual core, so it is really just inconvenient to actually try to use. As such it is only used when there are irreconcilable differences or some kind of really valuable trade when there is a risk of interference.

Other than that not a lot happened today, Anyway, Good Night Diary.
