This morning I hung out with talus, we didn’t do anything special or exciting but we did spend time with each other.

During my studies, we focused on changing the colour of the flash of light. I almost immediately noticed similarities between that and my colour changing spell, the one that makes everything green. Hearing that Mest asked me to demonstrate the spell for him a couple times under his close observance. After using up my allotted Solar Energy for the spell Mest then demonstrated a perfect copy of it, using mana of course.

Apparently learning how to copy a spell is something most mages learn sooner or later, though only the most talented are able to do that without careful observation.

He commented that the spell felt wrong somehow. The intricacy is an obvious sign that the spell was designed by someone that was very skilled at what they do, while the actual nuance of the spell speaks of someone that knows nothing about Mana, which makes perfect sense considering it is for Solar Energy and not mana. Mest came to the conclusion that while the same broad concepts are the same the nuances of mana are completely different from solar energy, so you could reasonably get any spell cast originally with Solar Energy to work with mana, and vice versa, it just won’t work well.

I spent the rest of the day watching as Mest dissected the spell, trying to actually understand the nuances of it better so he could teach me how it works. We did try to get him to actually use Solar Energy, and while he is physically capable of it, which was a big surprise honestly, he couldn’t actually make use of it as it would be destroyed way to quickly. If we had enough Solar Energy we could easily get him to the point of mastery with it, but we definitely don’t have nearly enough.

Other than that not a lot happened.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
