Today I worked on ironing out a bunch of minor things with the mimic, basically improving what I have in the most obvious ways. There was definitely enough of that to take up the whole day. I was able to more or less perfect the joints, at least relative to everything else I have so far, the only noticeable problem currently with them is friction. Everything rubs around way too much, and while it isn’t a big deal with what I’m doing right now, I can definitely see how that would be an issue. Not like any of that matters at the moment, that problem will be solved as I introduce new systems.

I had an epiphany while working today. I thought of a way that could improve my efficiency when creating these mimics, and anything based on plants really. Why don’t I create it from pure mana, instead of using a base material? Yeah at first using a base is going to be faster, but creating it out of mana has a higher potential for speed, and it allows me much more freedom with how I create anything, which doesn't matter so much with my current project as it is almost entirely mechanical, with few purely magical components, but for creating something like the Dead Tulips it would make it much easier.

What this means for the near future is my overall efficiency will drop quite a bit, I won’t be able to accomplish as much every day. But as I get better at creating plants without a base I will get even faster than before.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
