Today I made steady progress towards refining the various pieces of gear. It will be about a day and a half before I start working on the difficult stuff.
I have already produced enough of many of the things I already have to keep Par’s men equipped for quite a while. They seem satisfied with their new gear.
We don’t really have a name for Trovich’s new species, but we do know a bit about his capabilities. He is inherently talented at Solar Energy, much more so than he was before. He is all around better at everything, which is standard. He has gained some level of control over water, though he has to infuse Solar Energy into it first. I think his lack of ability there is entirely a result of his lack of practice, not his lack of talent. His Solar Energy pool has increased in size by an order of magnitude, and the overall structure of it seems to improve the rate at which he produces more Solar Energy. I’m not sure if he would produce Solar Energy if he didn’t have any in his pool, but it isn’t impossible, his body is nearly entirely formed out of Solar Energy after all.
And the most interesting feature of his body, he can actively use Solar Energy to improve his body. I must have been thinking of that a lot more than I thought while I was making his body, it seems like the idea stuck. It isn’t very fast or efficient, even with my less than stellar skills with Solar Energy I can tell that almost all of it is being wasted in the process, and the benefits from an entire day of work could only be called marginal at best. And the worst part is that due to the fundamental differences between our bodies there is no way I could possibly learn how to do it from observing him, at least not without much more work than it would take to evolve myself and watch a much better, much more custom-tailored example.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
I feel like this might be the solution to my current undead problem, or at least part of a solution. Between improving the body with Solar Energy and flesh manipulation I think Azrezel and I can do it. In the meantime, we will just keep working on it.
I should also mention that I am now the mother of Trovich’s species, and I get all of the benefits that come with it. Most notably the fact that Trovich will think the best of me in any situation.
Speaking of my current undead problem I figured out a way to make the undead last much longer. Basically, I flooded the brain with the stuff that makes it feel good, and as long as I continued doing that they stayed alive, but it died the moment I stopped. Tomorrow I am going to try and figure out a way to cause that permanently.
Other than that I spent some time with my dad today. We told stories and played games, it was a fun time.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
