Today Pipeweed finally evolved. Luckily I was there when it happened, so I was able to guide the evolution to create exactly what I wanted. Immediately afterward I incorporated it into my arm, I have a couple things to try using it. But that will have to wait till later, for now, I have to do what I set out to do in the first place.

I got roughly half done with the first of two rooms on my own today, the one I’ll be storing solar energy in to be exact. The sheer amount of mana required to grow it at all is incredible, this plant would never function in the wild unless I did something to allow it to.

In the end, I asked Lulem to help me out by providing me with as much mana as she could. If I had enough mana, to begin with, I could have finished within a minute, which is actually a really long time for this type of thing.

I’m not actually done with the room, just done with the first part of it. First I need to clear out all of the mana, then I need to create a lining on the inside that will keep Solar Energy inside, which has to be made with Solar Energy. So I have to completely clear out all of the mana first, otherwise, there will be a big explosion.

So here is what I did to clear it out quickly. I made a thick mesh of very thin Pipeweed fibers that all move the mana out of the room. That should be able to remove all of the mana before tomorrow morning. Then I can move onto the next part, which will take three-quarters of my Solar Energy but should allow it to produce a lot more of itself. A good chunk of the cost there is in a large leaf to produce more solar energy in the beginning.

I will have to cut a lot of corners in order to get it done at all, eventually, I will have to fix that, but I think it will be worth it.

As for the other room, I’ll get that one done tomorrow. Though I’ll probably have to include a teleporter using Portweed so that people can actually use it.

I actually had quite a bit of free time today, which I used to figure out a gift idea for Willow. What I ended up making was armor, actual armor. It functions very similarly to how the one I gave Tiddol for her birthday functions, in that most of the time it is a small piece of wood that you can snap in order to cause the armor to surround you, and all the other minor things I added to that.

The specifics are a bit different though. For one it will be mostly made out of Mithrilwood and Pipeweed, I haven’t made it quite yet. My plan is to have Mithrilwood be there to absorb any physical blows while having Pipeweed there to potentially scramble magical ones. I have no idea if I can actually pull it off, but trying will at least teach me something. I’ll probably end up doing this tomorrow.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
