So, trying to get the soul book onto the same level as the other books just isn't feasible for me. Well, that isn't strictly true, it isn't feasible to do it in a way that allows other people to replicate it. Give me a couple of years and I could maybe pull it off, but I don't want to wait that long. So it is going to turn into an encyclopedia that helps you see and interact with the soul. Naturally, I'm going to do what I can to make the information easily digestible, but without the ability to create different types of exercises the same way I did with the other books I don't think that it will be as effective.

On the other hand, those exercises take a lot of time to design and perfect. So cutting them out will speed up the process significantly. I should be finished writing this book within the next five days, and that is a generous estimate. It is possible that I will be done within three days, but I doubt it. There is a lot of information to cover.

Other than that I spent my downtime experimenting with my new plant. It is an interesting one, I seem to be correct in my assumption that it manipulates time, but it is more restricted than that. Similar to blastbark it seems like something that was stripped down to serve a very specific purpose and to do nothing else, which is both surprising and disappointing. With how complicated it is I would have assumed that it was already capable of directly manipulating time, but I guess not. This doesn't mean that I won't be able to get it to the point where I can use it for that purpose, it's just that I'm going to need to put quite a bit of effort into it, and maybe a bit of supernatural luck, in order to get it where I want it.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

In the meantime though, integrating a perfected version of the plant into my body has opened up some rather destructive possibilities. When combined with my healing it will make for an incredibly effective weapon against anything made up of biological material, which is most things that are a threat to me. Even better because I can control just how much it ages and rots someone, and I can reverse the damage with some healing. It isn't just a potent weapon, it is a potent nonlethal weapon, one that I won't feel guilty about using against people who don't otherwise deserve to die.

It is inevitable that I will get into a situation that warrants its use, I'm just glad that I have something like this now.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
