After refining the Battery today I was able to double the output and storage space, at least when compared to the starting point. Tomorrow i’m going to make a new one, this time i’m going to be very slow and deliberate, so I don’t mess anything up.

I heard from Mest that he will be getting a major report within the next week about Ents, I’m looking forward to it. It should contain a detailed examination of the capability of Ents, at least as far as dungeons are concerned.

Mest was also excited about something else, money. As one of the leading experts in the study of dungeons he has been given a rather large grant from his order, as such all his expenses are paid. He no longer needs to go diving for money, he can instead focus his efforts on diving for information. Though he has said that doing so is mostly unnecessary at this point, he already has a great specimen to study in me. He still is taking data on my development, or rather the development of my core.

When I asked if there was anything different about my core than others he said that there were two differences. The biggest is size, which I already knew. The second one was how mature it was for its age, it hasn’t pulled ahead by a lot, but it is certainly noticeable. When he was explaining why he believed that was he said it was most likely due to trauma, which causes dungeon cores to mature faster. This can be either emotional, physical, or magical trauma, though for me it is most likely magical.

Other than that I ended up discussing magic with Mest for most of the day. In particular, we were discussing the possibilities that Solar Energy might have, apparently he had recalled reading a report about this magical energy from the sun but forgot most the contents of it. What he did remember was that it was more potent than mana, not because it was inherently more potent than mana but because it is always destroyed and turned into mana when you cast a spell with it because of the sheer amount of ambient mana. Somehow that destruction makes anything done with Solar Energy more exaggerated.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
