Today I spent my time messing around with mundane plants. Well, that isn’t completely accurate as what I was actually doing was trying to see if I could get any inspiration for how to create new magical plants. I haven’t actually made entirely new plants before despite knowing that it is something I can do, or should be able to do anyway.

What I came up with was I need to somehow manipulate the things surrounding the evolution of a plant inorder to turn it into what I want. My normal method of refining what already exists isn’t going to help me much here, beyond possibly priming it for a bigger evolution. The problem with all of this is I have no idea how to go about it.

And that’s it. I have no idea how to do that. When I evolve something I am always working with something that already exists and building upon it, never creating a new foundation. They are close enough that I think trial and error would be enough in a reasonable amount of time, if I knew what I was looking for. Yes, I know it would be pretty obvious if I created a new magical plant, but unless it is a complete success I have no idea what to look for in order to see how close I am.

I guess I could start by evolving a plant over and over again to see what happens. Obviously I would refine the plant between each evolution as that makes the evolutions much bigger and as such should make it easier to get what I am looking for.

I spent my downtime today hanging out with Tiddol today. She’s been making some new clockwork creatures in the last couple days, nothing ridiculous, but it is always cool to see them come to life.

Apparently she is planning out the creation of one made entirely out of magical metals instead of wood. Somthing about wanting to prove that it is possible, which is a sentiment that I understand. I look forward to seeing the final product.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
