I made a small break through with developing PIpeweed today. There was one part that I was kind of dancing around because I couldn’t figure out either what it was, what it did, or what I wanted to do with it. It turned out to be a useless, well useless for my purposes, clump that I could safely remove. That should shave a day or two off of my projected time, as there is simply less that I actually have to do.

I sparred against Talus today using my puppets and lost miserably. I might be slightly fire resistant, but the most that is going to do is prevent a major wildfire from destroying everything. So nowhere near enough to level the playing field between us. Talus is simply better at this than I am, by quite a bit.

If anything it was pretty impressive. I’m a little bitter over how easy it seemed to be for her, but I’m proud of her all the same. I definitely don’t have to worry about her running off and getting herself killed.

Other than that I talked to Mest a bit about my current project, about how I want to create a building with no mana in it. He said that while that type of thing is usually way outside his field of study, though a couple dungeons make use of them, that he is interested in the results. as far as he can tell they have never managed to convince a forest sprite or nymph to enter a zone like that, I wonder why? In general, though, mana based entities will eventually starve to death in similar areas. Which makes sense, no mana means nothing to eat means a slow and painful death, something I definitely don’t want to almost experience again.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
