After gathering Solar Energy all day I started to direct Lulem on what I wanted to be made. Manipulating Solar Energy outside of my body was much easier than doing the same with mana, I’m blaming that on my variant evolution. Unfortunately, even with making the bag as small as we could keep it stable I barely had any excess, which makes sense because this is easily the worst time of year to be doing this. Luckily I was prepared enough to be able to quickly create a Solar Energy battery out of Astrie that I had prepped. To prepare it I basically stripped it of everything except a slightly altered version of its core function, mostly to remove any mana that I could.

Solar Energy is a lot more different from mana than I was expecting, the only reason I was able to succeed at this on any level was my vast knowledge of plants and Astrie in particular. Even then the amount of energy able to be stored in it is a hundredth of the amount that was used to make it, and about a tenth of the efficiency, I could reasonably get with just a day’s worth of practice. Unfortunately, I have a shortage of resources, not time.

All of that effort just to get a small, green piece of wood about a fourth the size of my pinky nail and just as thin. The good news is it should fill up on its own while it is exposed to sunlight. The bad news is that I have no idea how fast it will fill up, and the worse news is I don’t think the amount I can store in there is enough to do anything with. I’ll have to do this a couple more times in order to get anywhere, but first, I should wait for the tiny bit of Astrie to fill up.

It won’t be tomorrow regardless of what happens, I’m going to sleep in.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
