I started working on a low mana density area today. It shouldn’t delay my current project by too much, It didn’t take much time but it did take a bit of mana. I should still finish by tomorrow

It wasn’t too complicated to build, the only really difficult part was the scale. I had to build a tightly sealed room made out of the mana berry bush and Astrie. The walls, floor, and ceiling are all made from the Mana berry bush, while most of the internals are made of Astrie.

The way it works is mana inside is sucked into the walls and floors which then carry it to the Astrie, which I had moving the mana outside somewhere. The outside walls absorb any mana that physically touches them and moves it to the astrie inside.

Just a couple minutes ago I checked on it to find that it has completely failed. I have no idea what happened but that room ended up with a higher concentration of mana than anywhere else in my grove, and the astrie line that was carrying the mana away was completely gone. Like it had disintegrated or something.

I guess this is going to take a lot more work than I previously thought. At the very least I did learn one thing, the mana berry bush has a lot more potential for moving mana around than Astrie. I still need to refine it quite a bit before I’ll be satisfied with it, but that isn’t an issue.

It looks like I have a couple projects lined up for me for the next little while, all of which relating in some way to solar energy. I’m actually a little annoyed that I haven’t managed to think of creating a place with minimal mana to use with Solar Energy before now. I’ve had all the resources required for a very long time, Astrie and the mana berries were pretty much the first magical plants I ever got. Why did I never think of using them together? I mean, I’m not going to use them together for this project, the mana berries are better at everything the Astrie could have done, but still.

Other than my failed attempt at building a room today I got to see a light show put on by Willow and a couple of my children. It was brilliant in many senses of the word.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
