I have fully absorbed all of the information available to me about surgery, now I move on to less obscure topics and more overall useful topics.

Progress with Azrezel’s necrotic taint is steady. The more I remove the easier it is to remove. It seems to cause some effects that make healing of any kind much harder. I also learned that it causes the person afflicted with it to heal naturally a lot faster, similar to a troll but nowhere near the degree trolls can heal.

You know, I’ve never actually seen a troll. I hear so much about them to the point that I know the characteristics of a troll better than the vast majority of other species. Maybe I could arrange a meeting with one? It would be interesting to study their physiology, especially on a magical level. I know that they are completely immune to magic, but I have a hunch that it doesn’t extend to Solar Energy. The only thing that I have been able to find so far that is immune to mana was Solar Energy in a bit of a roundabout way, I managed to get pipeweed to repeal mana a little while ago. So maybe their immunity to magic is based on Solar Energy somehow? I’ll try asking the scholars if they would be able to get me a chance to study a troll.

In the distance from the edge of my grove, I can see another, much smaller grove. I wonder what will happen once I inevitably run into it? According to Par, it doesn’t have a lord like me so hopefully nothing too dramatic.

Other than that I spent most of my downtime with Azrezel.

Anyway, good night diary.
