At the rate, I am currently going it will be three days before I finish digesting all of the knowledge I gained, and my prediction is almost always on the high side of things so I am going to say two days.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I evolved Par yesterday. It was a routine and unremarkable experience, which is good because that means everything went exactly how it should have gone. The only really special thing about it was the amount of mana the world provided for me to work with, it was more than any other time I have evolved a creature, but not to a degree that it was surprising. As for what he evolved into, well it was basically what he was before, only better in every way and talented in the things he focuses on, so exactly what you would expect from an evolution. It doesn’t have a name yet as I was the one to create the species, and I suck at coming up with names. I suck at that only slightly less than I suck at learning names.

We have grown the brain as much as we possibly could without sacrificing the structure of the brain for more stability, which would be counterproductive. So we started experimenting with the structure, trying to figure out how to make it better instead of just sacrificing it for more volume. It’s basically what we were doing before, only the effect of every change is much larger, and so much easier to judge. With this the testing phase of every tiny change is decreased dramatically, allowing us to make more changes faster. Of course, progress is still painfully slow, even more so now after we just had pretty rapid progress for once.

If I am going to continue to think of this the same way I think of Plant Manipulation then the next step would be to twist what’s left after cutting out all the useless stuff to my will. Azrezel and I have been focused on changing small parts of the structure of the brain, even when we were considering hardening them against collapse it was the small parts we were changing. Why are the big overarching structures the way they are? If it was a plant I wouldn’t even think of them as being relevant.

Origin, at least after they became more proficient at creating life, wouldn’t create and continue to use something that was anything less than optimal. If you study healing the way I have then it is painfully obvious when a creature was not designed by either a dungeon or Origin, it’s structure just doesn’t work as well. Of course, what was optimal for Origin is not what’s optimal for us. For one they had significantly less access to mana, they are physically incapable of handling this much mana without just dying. For another Origin was trying to do something very different from what Azrezel and I are doing, different goals, different restrictions, and more. So we should try fundamentally changing the structure in a way we hadn’t considered before, there is no reason I can think of that a brain has to be exactly the way it is for it to work the best.

Other than that not a lot happened today.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
