Right. So, magic. If that’s what all this is, at least. Brainstorming time. If it is magic, the green is probably… Life magic, or maybe plants, erm…

I’ll put a pin in that one, but the darker blue is definitely water magic, since it extends to the roots of the trees but doesn’t extend to the tree leaves. The sky blue is probably air or oxygen magic or something, since it’s most prevalent just floating around in, well, the air.

The white that was inside the rabbit, then… b-bone? Bone magic? That doesn’t feel right, to me, but that’s what I’ll call it for now. The red would be blood or flesh, then, and the brown… Ok. I’ll call red blood and brown beast. I think that sounds nicer than calling brown flesh.

Second thought, if the green was only in the plants, and only in the rabbit because it ate the plants, then green is definitely a plant. So to recap, just for the memory bank:

Green: Plant

Brown: Creatures?

Red: Blood

Dark Blue: Water

Light Blue: Air

White: Bone?

Close enough for government work, heh. Right, what to do with all this… I guess I do feel a bit too tired to work on it now, I’ll ‘sleep’ on-

It. It’s daytime again. Cool. I don’t know if I could ever get used to that. Checkup time! How is my orb looking~

It’s still an orb, but now it has a bunch of the green and both dark and light blue magic swirling around inside of it, and the pile of ferns I ripped up yesterday is gone.

Did I ‘eat’ a bunch of plants? Is that why there is more magic in my orb?

To test my theory, I rip another fern out of the ground. Interestingly, it’s much easier now, probably because I’ve done it before, but I didn’t notice it becoming so easy to change my remote view, either.

Switching to magicvision, I mentally form my ‘magic hands’ as I am going to call them from now on, and I try to pull the string of green out of the fern, which succeeds… Sort of. I can get about half of it out and falling towards my orb, but some of it stubbornly clings to my hands until I dismiss them, but after the hands are gone, it joins the rest.

And I forgot to watch what that looked like with regular vision, though the fern is completely gone when I check, so, mission accomplished, I ate a fern. Also, it seems to be taking what I’ll call about a minute for the magic to get from where the fern was to my orb, though the process does start going faster the further it gets.

Ok! Next test, can I pull the magic strings out of my orb.

Answer: Yes, and I now hold a bunch of green in what looks like those spider’s web things kids do with string. I can even twist it a bit, with more dexterity than I’ve been able to do before.

Though, looking at it, the more I play with my now ball of magic string, some of the magic string appears to slowly be disappearing into nothing. I’ll have to keep that in mind for later. I wonder what this looks like in normal vision.

Answer: There is clearly a ball of something there, but it’s sort of like how people describe some online horror things or whatever, I know it’s there, but I can’t tell what it is.

Switching back to magicvision though, I begin my next test, or trying to see if I can’t turn my ball of magic string back into a fern. In the process, I think I might’ve tried every way I can think of to shape a continuous bit of string into a plant shape, but nothing happens.

I didn’t really expect it to, the magic in the ferns doesn’t follow their outlines, only what I guess is the stem and the stemlike parts the leaves are anchored to, so maybe I should shape my would-be fern like that?

Hmm. Hypothesis: The magic in stuff is only at structural points relevant to that type of magic.

Experiment: Putting a bunch of plant magic in the structural shape of a plant and roots, then putting it into the ground.

Results: Inconclusive.

Shaping the green into a line going with some more lines coming off of it had been easy, and so had more or less shoving the magic into the ground. It didn’t do anything when I looked at it with my normal vision though, so maybe that’s not how magic works?

Oh! Wait, I think I know why. Pulling out some water magic and adding it in a root structure, and then air magic surrounding the edges of where I envision the leaves to go, I begin to wonder to myself if maybe I shouldn’t try my hand at creating life without knowing how any of this works, but by the time I start to doubt myself, it’s already done. And I can feel something happening in that general area… I wonder if it will grow out of the magic I put there? I guess I’ll have to see, but from magic vision…

My masterpiece looks kinda ugly. Whatever, in the ground you go, and I’m gonna take a nap. See you-

Soon. I really hate that it works that way. What about my plant? Sure enough, a little green stalk sticking out of the ground, with a couple small leaves growing out of the side of it answers me. I’d been thinking of hosta leaves and celery stalks when I designed it, just to have something easy to think about, and… It looks quite odd, but I think I can make plants now!

I am a genius.

Ok, next step, make it not look ugly. Simple enough. I just decide to pull up my glorious creation and reabsorb it or whatever, though I only get back about half of the magic I initially took out when I started playing with it earlier.

Now, though, I know what I’m doing, so it’s much easier to just make what I want. My vision is something like an actual hosta plant, since I think I want to make a plant big enough to cover and hide my orb a bit. I start by magic the green magic in general hosta plant shape, only several times larger than I think their young stages are supposed to be. I also make sure to give it a spot for a flower, though I don’t have the foggiest idea about how to make it actually work as a flower.

Next is the water trails for the root structure… I think I’ll give it far larger roots than it actually needs, since I don’t know if it will grow more roots than I give it. A quick bit of air magic around where I want the leaves to be, and bam, into the ground you go, right next to my orb.

I start trying to make a second one but I have to mentally blink in and out of magicvision for a moment when I realize how easy it is to just sort of… Have done it already? By thinking about it? I’d have to put that up to me having already made one, I guess, so that’s convenient.

Still, regardless of how much time that saves me, I don’t think I’m going to take a nap this time. That’s right, baby, I’m watching grass grow! Hmm. There’s a couple birds flying around overhead. I guess I can multitask what I’m watching if I use omnivision mode.
