Today I made more progress on my current project. I should be done refining Astrie in the next day or two.
Tiddol has spent pretty much all day putting that toy she got from Par together in different ways. It seems to be made out of some really fancy clockwork and she is definitely stretching that to its limits. I think she is going to need to get a hold of some more clockwork components if she wants to get further than she is. I might be able to help her with that using Mithrilwood.
Azrezel managed to figure out how to get a group of ten undead mentally connected and self-sustaining, though the self-sustaining part uses up nearly all of the mental capacity of the undead and require faster than the available mental capacity increases. Nonetheless, it is a big step in the right direction.

Other than that I spent most of my time hanging out with Tiddol. Par had parenting duty today, so we didn’t need to worry about a child running around. We experimented with alchemy a bit, or rather she experimented with Alchemy and I supplied the ingredients. Whatever she was making used a lot of Portweed and even more Astrie. At one point Tiddol was spontaneously wearing a full suite of armor and so I took that as my cue to try and contain a potential explosion. Not a moment too late either, as soon as I had the bottle surrounded by Mithrilwood it exploded, leaving an empty sphere of Mithrilwood. There wasn’t even any mana inside the sphere for a couple moments. The same thing happened three times in a row, one time I wasn’t fast enough and ended up taking half of the blast. Nothing I couldn’t heal, but it still hurt. The armor I made worked like a charm, and Tiddol seems to have developed an instinct for this type of thing, she didn’t even notice it when the armor activated. Now I know that it works well enough, but that I also messed up by prioritizing maneuverability over durability. She probably isn’t going to use it very often in a situation that she needs to run away from, but if today is any marker then she is constantly using it on something she has to endure.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
