I started work on the next book today. I decided to work on healing and flesh manipulation this time, as I talked about yesterday. I spent a good chunk of my morning just trying to figure out how to get the material just right, making something useable out of bone and Whitefoot was easy, but making something perfect was much harder. Ultimately the material I used for the pages turned out to be very flexible up to a certain point, it doesn't allow creases easily. It's effectively a really durable thick piece of paper, except it is made out of bone instead of plant fibers.

I wonder if this stuff would make good armor. I know some effective types of armor are basically just a bunch of layers of cloth layered on top of each other, and this has many similar qualities while also being much more durable. Might be something worth mentioning.

During my downtime today I showed off my newest book to the scholars. They were very enthusiastic about it, almost immediately requesting copies so that they could send them in to be added to their archives, hopefully, to be used in teaching. And if they don't decide to use it I have also asked my Ents to distribute it during their adventures, so regardless the art of plant manipulation will be spread far and wide.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

It's odd to think about but before I came along there were very few plant manipulators. Most of us were forest sprites, standard evolutions of forest sprites, or something similar. Now I am the face of an empire where half of the population are competent plant manipulators, while most of the rest are at least capable of growing a bit of fruit for dinner. And now I am trying to spread that over the rest of the world, and not just with plant manipulation either. While healing is one of the most common disciplines people learn, I can't imagine many people are skilled at flesh manipulation. It just feels weird that I am now in a position where I am capable of attempting to make change on a global scale and can expect something to come of it. That's huge.

And the best part is that I'm not done yet, there is still so much more I want to learn, so much more I want to create. I don't think that I will be satisfied until there is nothing left to learn.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
