I finally managed to get Lace to the point where I was satisfied enough to let it evolve. Now that I have fully untangled the plant it should be much easier to work with. It is still really complicated, but now it is well organized as well. It will be roughly a week before I perfect it, give or take a day.
I actually have no idea if Lace will help me refine plants better, but it is the only plant that I have even tangentially related to thoughts. I have no idea how I would even get it to help me. If this fails then I might have to create a plant out of the thousands of mundane plants I have.
Now that I think about it I know one thing that would definitely help, even if only slightly. Every unique plant I add to my arm the better it gets in every way, though only slightly. I could go through and systematically make as many unique plants as I can in order to get as much benefit out of that as possible. I don’t think I will do that for a long time though, the benefits I get from that are marginal at best.
Azrezel was bragging to me today about how much better his current body is for necromancy than his old body. That alone isn’t too surprising, when a mage of any kind evolves they are almost certain to gain a body that is better at magic in general. The weird part is that he is specifically better at necromancy, that aptitude doesn’t extend to other forms of magic. This isn’t something that is supposed to happen at all, Necromancy isn’t something you’re supposed to be able to have a natural talent for.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
The scholars said that his body was an undead equivalent of something called a Seraphim, which is what he would have evolved into had he not used necromancy to interfere. Though if he hadn’t interfered he probably would’ve become an angel, which is step down from Seraphim. What kind of undead is what they are trying to figure out.
His species has some natural talent with magic, especially necromancy and wind magic to a lesser degree. He also has some innate magic that lets him fly using his wings, which is good because his skeletal wings would be useless for mundane flight. That is probably the reason for the wind magic. He is also immortal, but all but the weakest undead are effectively immortal if they have a necromancer.
I could probably evolve right now if I wanted to. It is honestly pretty weird that I haven’t evolved yet all things considered. This next evolution will technically be my second evolution in this lifetime, which is much easier to achieve than any other evolution. Plus it is still super easy to evolve here. The reason I haven’t evolved yet is that there is probably nothing for me to evolve into, so me trying to change myself will probably be the trigger that makes me evolve. I think I will hold off on doing that for a while, maybe I will evolve after I finish digesting the knowledge I gained from my ancestor.
Other than that I spent most of my free time hanging out with Azrezel while he had diagnostics done on him by the scholars. I know first hand how boring that is when it isn’t at the uncomfortable parts so I decided to try and entertain him. I think it went well all things considered. I wish I could numb sensations like he can during the more uncomfortable parts, I guess that’s just one thing Necromancy is much better at than healing.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
