Today, early in the morning, the magical devices Torvich needed to examine me were done being set up. After going through a rather long, and occasionally uncomfortable, series of tests He reported to me with his findings. It seems I am a Forest Nymph variant, specifically a plant variant, which, according to the troll, is weird because all nymphs are technically variants, there are no ‘normal nymphs’, the same with sprites. Nymphs, in general, are pretty much a direct upgrade to their Sprite counterparts, with a few minor differences, in particular, Forest Nymphs all have control over plants, they don’t need the plant to be willing to work with them, though it is still much easier if it is willing. It’s also incredibly rare for a Forest Nymph to be directly born from a tree, but not impossible.

As for what my status as a plant-based variation on an already very plant-centric species entails, he wasn’t sure exactly but did have some ideas. Plant type variations in other monsters, as he only really cares about monsters, usually have a couple things in common, they all gain the ability to communicate telepathically with plants, they can use that ability to do favors for the plants, which doesn’t happen very often, in exchange for some kind of boon, like mana or a particularly tasty fruit. Neither of those things are useful to me, I could already do them as a sprite.

The one thing that was pretty common among plant variants that seemed interesting was a particular type of magic. Many such species learn how to apply certain attributes of plants to themselves and others, temporarily turning your skin into bark was the example he mentioned. I’m not sure if I was capable of it before, well not capable, technically anyone could do it if they figured out how, it would be more accurate to say i’m not sure if I could have done that easily before but now i’m going to try.

I ended up spending most of the day talking to Torvich and doing some more tests, more about what i’m capable of than anything else. It was enlightening I learning things about myself that I had no idea I could do, though most of them were pretty minor and inconsequential. I also had an epiphany during one of these tests about how I might be able to solve the Solar Energy storage problem I have, but it will take a couple days before I can do it as I will need a bit to start out, and to get a usable amount I need a whole day to sit in the sun, preferably naked in order to get as much energy as I can.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
