I have made slow progress on my current project today. I don’t know what I’m doing, not really, what I know is how to figure out how to figure out what to do. I honestly have no way to tell how long this whole process will take, it is almost entirely new ground for me. I am improving how quickly I’m able to improve though.

I have learned something about Lace recently, it is amazing at connecting to and influencing minds, but it is completely useless at creating a new one. Astrie is alright at it, but while Astrie can do pretty much anything, it can’t do much well. Ideally, I would have a plant that was good at this type of thing, maybe a piece of an ancient tree turned Ent? Might do it, I doubt it though. Normally I might be able to make a new plant out of the plants I already have, but normally I have better than tangential knowledge of the subject. I tried asking the scholars about the subject, but only one of them even knew anyone studying the mind. That got me excited at first, then I was told that they were like me, a lord of a grove using plants to try to simulate it. Doesn’t exactly make it easy to talk to them, and they aren’t exactly known for keeping good notes. Besides, they are on the other side of the world, it would take forever to get anything from them to me.

Disappointing, but I guess I am on my own for this one.

If I was willing to take the risk I could probably change myself in the right way to fix this issue, at least for a little while. The problem is that I am absolutely convinced I am more likely to kill myself than actually succeeded regardless of my actual capabilities. No, my current projection might be slow, but it’s better to save any attempt to change myself to an evolution, when I have a safety net.

Speaking of, I could probably trigger that any time I want at this point. The hand of the world will provide me full support regardless of when I do it, and I have far surpassed the threshold to trigger one. I just want to improve my knowledge of healing significantly first, as it is to be the most directly linked to my ability to improve myself.

Azrezel messed up today while he was rushing through creating a new undead. It was routine work, but he was stretching a bit and rushing at the same time, not a good combo. Bad news is that he is sick, the good news is that he isn’t infectious. It would be rather pathetic for a mage of his skill to be killed by a bit of magical backfire. Luckily it is just a couple days of bedrest while his head tries to murder him from the inside.

Other than that it seems that Par’s group met with some conflict today and emerged victoriously.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
