today I finished making gear for Par’s men. I managed to finish up before lunchtime and handed it off to Par’s second, who almost immediately left for Pearlhold. Hopefully, nothing happens during the time it takes for him to get there.

Most of Par’s soldiers were taken to Pearlhold, he left only the best of the best here to defend my grove. It is doubtful we will be attacked by more than a small strike force, Pearlhold is the real prize here.

I spent most of the day studying with Mest. today we focused on maintaining effects actively, fire and forget is pretty easy, but actually controlling a spell after it has been cast is much harder. I did manage to pull it off though, if only for a moment. Again, my main issue is the amount of energy rather than my own skill, not to say that I am particularly good at this just that even if I was I still wouldn’t have enough energy to do much with it.

In hindsight trying to figure out how to make and control spells like that probably wasn’t the greatest idea.

In the evening I hung out with Tiddol, or at least tried to. She kept having to run off to deal with Umi’s shenanigans. She’s become rather excitable and curious recently, and she has started to get a handle on her magic. She seems to be more like Talus in that all her magic is instinctual, she doesn’t need to know the theory in order to get something to work. In other words, She has a lot of intent but not a lot of understanding.

Other than that not a lot happened.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
