At around noon I finished the mana void room. Entering it after all the mana was removed felt suffocating. I could feel my body start to shut down and go into a state of self-preservation, though luckily I was able to resist that long enough to finish everything I needed to do with Solar Energy. In a couple days there should be enough Solar Energy to start actually working with it, I’m guessing around three or four.

I also managed to build the mana collecting room, with Lulem’s help. As I am pretty much the only one that can move through plants I also installed some port weed to teleport people inside of it. The way it works is you have to power the outside portion yourself, while the inside portion will be powered by the ambient mana once there is enough of it. Once the outside portion is full you are moved to the inside part. I wasn’t too concerned about efficiency with the inside part, as any mana used will just be returned to the room anyway, but I did need to bring down how long it took to recharge quite a bit.

In order to get out, they have to trigger the inside part to take them outside. Doing it without having something outside to catch them is a lot more expensive, but again, any mana used will just be returned.

Of course, no one but me will be able to use it for about a week because it will take about that long for there to be enough ambient mana inside to power the teleporters.

I got a bit excited showing off the completed structure to Mest, only to realize that he can’t enter it yet. Plus I shouldn’t disturb him anyway, he seems rather desperate in his pursuit of his latest project. I’m not sure what it is exactly, though based on other stuff I think it might be a really dangerous spell. I hope whatever it works out for him.

Other than that nothing particularly interesting happened, or at least nothing that I noticed.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
