Tomorrow I should be done with this step of the process of refining Pipeweed. Then I will have a lot more free time and a lot less mana to work with. That should give me some time to perfect my puppets

So I figured out a way to increase what I can get out of Fate. well not really increase it exactly. I spent too long trying to come up with a good metaphor, so I’m just going to explain it.

So I can go into the negatives with Fate, now that is generally a bad idea as it increases the chances of things like death. However, I am not good enough at this quite yet for that to be an issue, I simply can’t move my Fate enough to cause or prevent my own death in all but the most extreme circumstances. And even in those circumstances, I will still lose quite a bit, like my arm for example.

What I can do is when I go to spend my Fate I can cause it to plummet into the negatives from however high I got it, effectively doubling the amount of Fate I can burn in one instant. Of course, then I have to spend a day recovering from that, so ultimately I’m not gaining any more Fate than I would otherwise gain, but that hardly matters.

I’m almost certain I figured that out when I burned my Fate yesterday, as I figured it in the middle of burning my Fate and immediately put it to use. Though I’m pretty sure all it does is let me come to conclusions I would have come to anyways faster, at least as far magical phenomena goes.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
