So, last night happened. I am not going to go into too much detail, but let's just say that Talus knows how you use her hands, and every other part. Now i’m worried that i’m not good enough, but not too worried.

Today we made another song, this one isn’t as long as the ones we made before. It’s calming, designed to bring the listeners to a state of ease and tranquility. It gave me another chance to study the magic the music is making, and I feel like I can start to replicate it through music, though not very well, and certainly not without the crutch of music.

During lunch I chatted with Mest about magic, which is something I do regularly, and we got to the subject of innate racial magics. The majority of creatures have them in some form or another, and very few have a blanket bonus to all magic, or even just a bunch of types of magic. To give some examples, Talus can control fire, I control plants, Willow controls storms, and Mest and the Ents get a blanket bonus to magic. It’s a matter of pride for me that the Ents are better suited to magic than Mest’s species. It’s also very difficult for creatures to learn magics outside of the realm of influence their species has, or it requires a lucky break, my healing magic is an example of a lucky break, but healing is known around the world as one of the easiest magics to learn.

I was curious about how you could make it easier to learn new magics you aren’t predisposed towards. Apparently, as the ambient mana level increases people everywhere will have more access to mana and so more people will be able to use magic, until pretty much everyone is capable of magic. Unfortunately, that isn’t very useful to me, I can’t really change my access to magic in the near future. He also said that learning new magics is something that can be trained, like pretty much anything else, and having a good teacher makes it easier. Though it doesn’t seem like that was an invention for me to ask for lessons, because when I did he was surprised, agreed, but was surprised.

So yeah, I’m going to be studying different types of magic under Mest for a while.

I’m really looking forward to going to bed tonight, so I’m going to wrap this up here.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
