Today there has been no change in the Pipeweed sample. There hasn’t been any qualitative change since I started this part of the project. I’ll just keep going till something changes.

I spent most of my time today tinkering with my armor. Honestly, thinking about it calling what is basically just magical clothes ‘armor’ is kind of stupid. It is just a sundress, it doesn’t even help protect against a blow through magical means most of the time. And even when it does, it doesn’t do so very well.

Well, I mean now I can make it pretty effective as actual armor, with having Mithrilwood and all. But even then, clothes is just a better description. I think I’m just going to stick with clothes.

So, I spent most of my time today tinkering with my clothes. Just messing around mostly. I did manage to make them better in a couple of small ways, but I doubt that will make a noticeable difference in the future.

Between my clothes and my wooden arm, I can pretty much create any effect on my body that I can think of using my plants. Between Astrie and Spellwood I can do pretty much anything, as long as I understand how to do it that is, but having a plant that is more specialized in what I’m trying to do is several orders of magnitude better in every single way. I’ve noticed that Astrie is incredibly inefficient just in general, yeah I have greatly improved that, but I could improve a more specialized plant well and beyond what I can improve Astrie to.

Plus having a specialized plant brings the benefit of not needing to know how it works to get it to do what I want. I would never be able to get Astrie to teleport something, but with Portweed it is incredibly easy. Not to say that understanding how it works doesn’t help, Whitefoot is still really useful in healing despite of, no, because of my skill and knowledge with healing.

Other than that not a lot happened today. I did overhear something about being forced into a peace treaty, though I don’t really know much other than the short snippet I overheard. Something about scholars?

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
