Today I slept in till lunchtime, to the surprise of no one. When I did wake up I asked Mest to help me out with my problem.

While Mest was more than happy to teach me how to manipulate ambient mana, I was not a very good student. Even attempting it gives me a headache. By the end of the day, the only progress I had made was a steadily worsening migraine. That's not entirely true, I did improve very slightly, so slightly that I didn’t even notice. At least that’s what Mest was telling me, and he hasn’t lied to me yet.

I am genuinely considering asking the piece of soul the Origin left me with for a solution to the problem at hand, but i’m conflicted.

You know what, if I don’t make noticeable progress in the next ten days, and I can’t think of a different solution, then i’m going to ask. It has to know something, after all, it was one of the ones that helped make plants, which were explicitly designed to make mana out of Solar Energy so it should know something.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
