I should be done with this book within the next three days, and from there I will move onto the next one. That one will probably be about soul magic, though my lack of practical skill with the subject might make it a bit more difficult to create. It might end up being little more than an encyclopedia that lets you see souls to be perfectly honest. That isn't inherently a bad thing, I just hope I can do better.

The scholars figured out what the cause of everyone in the city dying was, and it wasn't a curse, unfortunately. It was a type of poison that spreads through the air. Apparently, the structure of the city was ideal for using this type of poison, though why I'm not entirely sure. Apparently, it is really heavy and the design of the walls lets it stick around. I mean it kind of makes sense, but the idea of poisonous air being heavy is weird, all of the alchemical fumes I've seen float upwards and I can't imagine poisonous air that isn't alchemical in nature. Maybe something biological? Possible, but most of those just stink and aren't particularly toxic.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Regardless, this isn't the kind of thing that the scholars are willing to step in about. They do frown on it, and people that make a habit of slaughtering cities eventually end up angering them one way or another, but for now they won't do anything. Which really sucks, but there is very little I can do about it so I won't dwell.

Other than that I spent my downtime healing people today. It wasn't really necessary, there was a minor spike in injuries due to some accident that happened but we had more than enough healers to take care of everyone. I just felt like it today, no other reason. It was fun to unwind with something like this, yeah people's lives were in danger, and they were screaming in pain, but there was never any real risk for any of them. I can and have healed significantly worse injuries half-dead, barely conscious, and almost out of mana, so this was like a gentle breeze for me.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
