Today I continued to practice magic, this time trying to figure out what my limits are for plant manipulation. The most obvious difference is everything is faster, everything takes about a third of the time it took before. I’m also able to do everything better, making Astrie better with mana, making Dead Tulips put someone to sleep faster, allowing Singing Grass to have a much wider range of sounds it can produce, things like that.

Another thing I did today was make a puppet. It is very similar to making an Ent, I just don’t finish it. That way it doesn’t develop a soul and I can control with magic. I thought at first that maybe I shouldn’t add a mana heart, but it turns out that adding a mana heart makes the puppet much more responsive to my commands, so I left it in despite it taking as long as the entire rest of the puppet to make.

I didn’t really do anything with the puppet, just kind of used it to stretch my magical abilities. And stretch my limits it did, not only did it take quite a while to make, relative to everything else I can make, but it’s also still very difficult to control two, but not quite impossible.

For the rest of the day, I hung out with Talus, Par, and Tiddol to play games.

Oh yeah, pretty much everyone is leaving tomorrow to go dungeon diving, the only ones that are staying are myself, Talus, the Ents, and most of Par’s tribe, including Whisperer. I always forget Whisperer, and only partially intentionally. I would say i’m curious about what he’s been up to recently, but I would be lying, he still creeps me out.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
