I just remembered something, Willow is turning a year old soon. I need to figure out what to do about a gift soon. I don’t know her well enough to come up with a good gift idea, so I’ll probably make something practical. Maybe I can convince her to let me examine her while she uses her magic, then I might be able to make a staff or a wand or something for her. No, she seems like she prefers control a lot more than power and efficiency. Whatever, I’ll think of something before then.

Based on how much mana I have already pumped into the Pipeweed sample I don’t think I will be able to get it to evolve more than once this way, simply because I would get bored waiting for a second evolution.

I actually set it up so that other people can contribute their mana to the cause. What I did was a built a room with nothing other than a pedestal that had the Pipeweed on it. The entire room is made out of Mithrilwood, including the pedestal. That is in case the Pipeweed sample explodes, the entire blast will be contained to the room. Or at least that’s the idea.

The pedestal itself is actually connected to the sample, so they would need to saw through it in order to steal the sample. Good luck pulling that off. I guess another plant manipulator might be able to steal it relatively easily, assuming they were close to my level of skill. But there are so few plant manipulators near my level of skill that it would never happen. They are all either like me in that they can’t leave their domain, or they are so old and powerful that I would have no choice but to just give it to them or risk death.

Not that I’m expecting someone to try to steal it. Actually, I have no idea why I did that, just got carried away while building the room I guess. Well, whatever, it isn’t a big deal.

So far I’ve gotten many of the Ents to pump a bit of mana into it, as well as a couple other mages. Hopefully, this should make the process a bit faster.

Other than that not a lot happened. I did make pretty good progress on the puppets, but there isn’t anything interesting to report there.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
