Today I did not touch the Solar Energy Battery, I need to let it recharge so that it’s production improves. Instead, I returned to the laborious process of dissecting myself.

While Spellwood isn’t very good at boosting or suppressing magic the same way Astrie is, the fact that I have managed to refine Astrie so much means it is better at pretty much everything. Of course, the way it was refined isn’t directly applicable, but enough of it is applicable that it makes a difference, plus my newfound knowledge on how Astrie works makes it easier for me to use in general. All that means the process of dissecting myself will go much quicker than before, instead of the month I was expecting before I should be done with all I can reasonably do within a week.

Now I think I am going to finish that project before moving on to something else. I doubt I will learn enough to create a mana based creature, as I don’t have nearly enough subjects and it would require external mana manipulation, but it should make my armors more effective.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Though I would love to be able to create Nonplant based life. Flesh manipulation is always just out of my reach.

Anyway, one of my children has shown an interest in making use of Spellwood. The only downside is that they are completely ignorant about all things magic, in their previous life they didn’t have any magic, just machines.

They seem strong-willed enough, that should help immensely with creating their intention. And intention is half of all magic after all. However, that won’t be enough to overcome their ignorance. Even with the Ent’s frankly unfair advantages when it comes to learning magic it will still take years to be able to make full use of Spellwood. In the short term they should be able to make simple devices, however.

One last thing before I go to sleep. Thes came to me again, saying his medicine was no longer effective, and he requested the next version. I fear that this version will be the last he can take, despite the fact that I have one after it, I just don’t think any of it will have an effect on him anymore. Who knows if this will last a week or a month, though I can’t see it lasting more than two months.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
