This morning I noticed something, all the Fate I had built up yesterday is gone. The only thing I got out of it was a particularly good nights sleep. It seems I have figured out why that voice thought I was incredibly untalented at Fate manipulation, if I can’t maintain my Fate overnight I can’t build it up enough to really matter.

A bit latter Mest asked me permission to perform a spell on me. He said it creates a magical item tied to my life force, if I die at any point in the future the item will break, before then it is nearly impossible to damage. He then showed off a couple of them that he has, one for Thes, one for Tiddol, a couple broken ones for fallen companions, I saw a broken centaur in there, only one, and a couple intact unnamed ones. The one he had for Mest was the largest and most obvious of them, being a bear tied to a string around his neck. Apparently, he made a couple for Tiddol and Par the other day and wanted to make one for me.

When I asked him how it works he said that it has nothing at all to do with his field of study and as such has no idea how it works, he just memorized the spell for convenience.

Of course, I agreed to let him cast the spell on me. It was an odd feeling, reminiscent of creating Ents. I’m assuming that means a part of my spark of life, a piece of my soul, went into the construction of the item. The trinket was of a small tree bent into an unnatural shape and was very uncomfortable to look at. He then made two more, all variations of the same thing. After that he left, saying he was going to give one to Tiddol, Talus, and Par.

After that I checked on the progress of my Solar Energy battery, noting down its growth. Though I didn't really do anything with the energy.

Then I spent some time growing out my Grove, as of today I am able to fully explore Par’s village. Though he has asked me to avoid a couple different spots as best I can, like the farms around his village.

I spent a little while just walking around the village. It was interesting though not a lot really happened.

Once I got bored of that I sat down and finished refining my Sleep aid. As I expected, even after perfecting it I wasn’t able to get the plant to evolve. So I got started on the next part of my plan, trying to figure out how to splice the sleep aid onto Dead Tulip. I figured it would be easier to splice the entire thing on and then remove everything that doesn’t mesh well.

The problem with this is I have no idea how. I can kind of combine plants, but not on the fundamental level I am wanting. There is some kind of wall around the magical structure of a plant that keeps it from directly interacting with other plants, something I didn’t know about until I thought to look earlier today. That wall seems to serve a couple other functions too, like keeping the plant stable, but none of them are relevant in this situation.

I need to figure out a way to deal with that wall without also destroying the plant. Breaking down the wall is easy enough, hardly even costs me mana, but that very quickly kills the plant, making it useless. So what I need to do is figure out a way to get around the wall without destroying it, something I didn’t manage to do today.

I spent most of the rest of the day working on that, only really stopping for dinner.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
