Day 159

I didn’t do much other than work on the Ents today, yes Ents, plural, i’m at the point where I have to balance for differences in sex on top of everything else, so I have to work on two Ents at the same time. Working on the genitals still makes me shy.

During my mental break, I experimented with Astrie. Figuring out ways I can make it useful for Tiddol’s birthday present. It is nowhere near as mentally taxing as working on the Ents and I have plenty of mana to spare. I managed to figure a couple things out, nothing good enough yet though.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.

Day 160

I’m so close to being done with the Ents. Tomorrow, I make the final adjustments tomorrow.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Today I remade the Ents out of Astrie. There was a lot of variation in the Astrie, for example, the wood that makes up the bone is similar to a gemstone in that it stores mana very well, while the blood system carries it well, a lot of little nuances like that. The best part, in my opinion at least, was how I made the mana heart. I made it out of what is basically supercharged Astrie, using everything I know about the plant, and plants in general, to make it as potent as possible for every part of magic, without negatively impacting other parts. It took me no less than three tries to get it right, three more tries to make it better, then I kept making minor adjustments to make sure it was perfect, and each try almost completely depleted my mana, and then I had to make another one for the female. Luckily the female one only took minor changes to get it to work.

I didn’t take a mental break because I had time enough to relax while my mana regenerated from attempts at the mana heart. I spent this time excited talking with Mest about my creations, and he seemed genuinely intrigued by them, which is saying something because he usually isn’t very interested in this type of project.

I need to force myself to sleep now otherwise i’m going to stay up all night in excitement and mess something up because i’m tired.

So, with that, I’m going to sleep. Good Night Diary.
