The new battery turned out exactly how I thought it would. In the end, it was a fourth the size of the first one and was half as good. I could have probably made it much bigger with a lot more storage space and production, but I decided to put all my effort into making it as perfect as I could. I think i’m going to spend about a week working on it before moving on.

I thought of something today. What if I ask the ball of soul in my core exactly how best to use it? I figure the knowledge I gain from that should allow me to make greater use of it, making up for what I used up in order to ask.

So I did, and it had the added effect of letting me know exactly how many times I can use it again. With an almost perfect efficiency, I should be able to ask ten specific questions, in total so nine now. Had I not asked it would have been closer to five or six total. I also know that using it will permanently strengthen my soul, as the energy that is used up has to go somewhere, might as well be the initial destination. On top of all that I learned how to gather knowledge from other creatures that die in my territory, but I am far from being able to make use of that, my core isn’t nearly mature enough to get anything beyond a very vague idea.

Other than that I mostly slept or hung out with Talus. She wanted to show off her progress with healing magic, and she’s actually gotten pretty good. She could probably heal her own missing limb over a month or so, though healing someone else’s is beyond her still. Still, that's more than what she wanted it for so i’m proud of her. After some praise, I offered to give her a couple pointers, which she accepted. I’m happy to know that she’s gotten past the really difficult part of learning healing magic, now she has a grasp of the intricacies she should steadily get better and better, though it is doubtful that she will ever surpass me, outside of extreme circumstances like my own death or attracting the attention of a master healer to teach her, it will be more than enough to save her life.

Anyway, Good NIght Diary
