Today I continued working with Azrezel on learning how to properly manipulate flesh. He is surprisingly hard-working and enthusiastic. It’s obvious that he loves what he does and he strives to do it well. That, at least, is something I can admire.

According to him, he is learning quite a bit from observing and facilitating my attempts to fully restore a mutilated undead. His hope is that this knowledge will help him be more efficient when creating undead in the future, effectively allowing him to make better undead. At least it explains why he is so enthusiastic about helping me.

The knowledge I gained from Origin is unsurprisingly incredibly helpful, which means it is doing exactly what I wanted it to. I think once I fully assimilate this knowledge I will just ask about healing in general, using up one of my remaining seven questions for it. I have already decided that I shouldn’t save my questions for dangerous life or death situations for a couple of reasons. The most important being that by the time I am able to make use of the knowledge gained it would be too late for it to matter, the second reason being that it is rather wasteful to spend a question on something like ‘how can I save this person’s life right now’ when I could ask the harder to digest question of ‘how can I become better at saving lives’.

Instead, I have decided to use them to improve my knowledge, primarily about healing. Yes, I can and will ask about plant manipulation, but my biggest limits there aren’t knowledge-based but rather issues with how quickly I am capable of thinking.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

I wish I could meet with and learn from other Plant manipulators, but any skilled enough for me to learn from are bound to Groves and forests of their own. Plus I don’t really want others from the forest sprite line to move to my grove, it would limit my own access to mana quite a bit. Maybe a passing origin that focused on creating plants would be willing to teach me, I mean I doubt it but I can hope.

During my downtime, I spent most of my time hanging out with Tiddol. Her daughter is nearly fully grown, while her son only learned to walk a month ago. It seems humans just develop rather slowly.

Tiddol has been working on her own projects recently, mostly with alchemy. Most of what she is working on is medicine, not the wound healing kind but the stuff that will cure allergies or help you sleep at night. She has asked for my help a couple of times, both for ingredients and my expertise in healing.

Tiddol has completely retired as a diver, now she puts her skills towards equipping other divers with tools and weapons they can use in a pinch. That and developing new stuff.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
