About four more days till I finish refining all of my plants with Solar Energy. I did take a bit of time to modify Lace to make it more useable with the undead. It took less time than I thought it would, which seems to be normal.

I helped Tiddol make more clockwork creatures today. She seems to be reveling in the joy of creation, a feeling I know well. I have to say I’m proud of her. She is building things for no other reason than the fact that she can, which is the best reason to create. There are few things more satisfying than shaping life with your own hands, and it seems like Tiddol is figuring that out.

The undead are making progress faster again. The brains are getting to the point that Azrezel can’t fully make use of any of them individually, the connection he’s formed isn’t good enough for the type of work he needs it to do. So I spent my time working on strengthening that using Lace. I figured out that distance was a component in how efficient the connection is, not the biggest one, but still a significant aspect. What I did was I connected the brains to each other using Lace, that allowed the full weight of the connection to be used as long as he was close to at least one of the brains. I also directly strengthened that connection.

You know, I could probably make a wooden version of those giant brains. If I could figure out how things work a little better, which I am working on, then I could dramatically improve the mental prowess of my trees. I still don’t think that would be enough for me to be able to spend all of the mana I take in unless I am doing something that takes very little thought and requires tons of mana.

Oh yeah, I burned my Fate today while working on the brains. It caused me to sneeze incredibly violently, disrupting my concentration while I was working with Lace. That caused Lace to go crazy in just the right way to somehow empower the brain directly, something I didn’t think Lace was capable of before. So naturally I took some time to study it and figure out why and how it did that, well I mean the why is Fate but I still don’t understand enough about the brain to know how any of this works. I can replicate it though, and maybe even make it work with less modified undead through brute force. It reminds me of the time I learned a spell to make things green, only much more useful.

Other than that I spent some time in Pearlhold today. While the streets are spotless, shining in a way that is almost titular, the people are still not healthy. I think I might have figured out why, it’s my fault really. I’ve made all of my plants better but I never really thought about the versions of them that are made for sale. They were really good when I made them, over a year ago. I’ve improved a lot in that time but I’ve neglected to improve drowsy clover variants that weren’t different and specialized enough to become their own unique plants. They aren’t perfect and that has been causing some issues.

I guess it is a good thing I’m working on refining my plants right now, I can perfect the ones that are for sale. Maybe narrow down exactly what is causing the effect we want and cut out some of the more toxic parts of that effect, make it more pure and all that. We can’t stop selling it, too much money comes in from this business, but if I can I would like to avoid hurting people as much as possible. Unless they deserve to be hurt.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
