Today Talus joined in on the magic lessons, though she seemed to struggle with it quite a bit. She didn’t really seem to grasp the concepts behind how magic works. Although she seemed to learn a thing or two about the not so magical properties of fire, which will definitely help her. I let her borrow my crown for a while, and it definitely helped. She also said that the amount of mana was overwhelming, in a scary way, so she rejected using it again. Apparently, mana based creatures have bigger mana pools naturally, I mean it makes sense, I had just never thought about it.

I made only slightly more progress than Talus did, but I was less frustrated by a lack of progress. I hadn't managed to move water on a scale big enough to see, but I did manage to move water. Not nearly enough for me to be satisfied, this much is easily forgotten. I think I’ll set a goal of being able to hit a target board in the center and actually pierce it. Either that or control some large amount of water dexterously? I don’t know, there are too many ways to define skill when it comes to magic, I just want the basics.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

On second thought, I’ll go with being able to create a very rough likeness of myself out of the water and hold it for a while, then I will move onto manipulating dirt.

I have no idea how long this will take, but if I can master learning new forms of magic then maybe I will be able to properly learn how to manipulate flesh without hurting people. Even if it isn’t enough, it will at least help.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
