Day 294

Today I added parts of Sunflower to my current project, and also healed several self-inflicted lacerations and burn wounds. So basically exactly what I was expecting. I did manage to get a crude version added, so it does stably produce small amounts of Solar Energy and immediately turns them into mana. It is able to run for about an hour before the increasing amounts of mana produces more Solar Energy than the plant can safely turn into mana, then it explodes. Luckily it damages itself beyond repair when it explodes, preventing it from producing Solar Energy.

It’s progress, but less than I thought I was going to make. Well, nothing I can do about that except keep working.

As for my downtime, I hung out with Azrezel today. I was showing off the plant I was working on and he was showing off what he’s been working on. He was making some kind of crossbow that he could work into his own undead. It was actually really cool, partially because it is the type of thing that I would be able to make and partially because he’s done a really good job of it. The way he built it has the whole thing contained in the arm of one of his undead and completely restructures the arm to facilitate it, without undermining the durability. The actual bow curves a lot, I’m not really sure how that impacts the weapon but I don’t see them curve that much normally so it probably does something. The arms are a bit larger than normal to try and reduce the impact that the spacial restrictions have, with a lot more muscle as well. The string is made of tendons, I mean what else would you use for this. While the bolt is able to be grown by the surrounding arm from bone, though not very fast. The issue there is mana, and if there was no issue it could fire nearly constantly.

Azrezel is looking forward to my project being completed, mostly because it would enable many of his projects to actually be useful. It takes a lot of mana to make bone.

Other than that not a lot happened today. It’s been pretty calm recently, even with the start of a war going on.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
