Askos and Junior are getting much better at healing in a high-stress environment. At first, Junior would freeze up a bit when things started to go wrong, but she managed to quickly get over that and is now constantly darting around the battlefield on her white wings healing the most valuable wounded soldiers, though according to the people running the armies her idea of most valuable could use some work.

Askos is doing the opposite, caring less about keeping the most valuable soldiers in peak condition and more about keeping as many soldiers in fighting condition as possible, spreading out his healing quite a bit. According to the generals, his approach has much more potential to have a larger impact on the fight as a whole, though they doubt that anyone healer short of my own abilities is capable of making enough of a difference to overcome this exercise. Sure it is a challenging task, more so than anything I’ve had them do before, but most people also think that the speed at which they are improving is impossible for anyone who wasn’t powerful, to begin with. I think they will eventually pull it off.

By the end of the day, I had a working prototype of my current project. It is actually a really complicated device, it was surprisingly hard to figure out how to thoughts into words and even now you have to think the words very deliberately in order for it to appear on the page, which takes time and is mentally draining. Plus there is a delay of almost a full second before the words actually appear on the page. Also, currently you have to be part of my hivemind in order to actually make use of it, though I’m sure a telepath or plant manipulator of any sort could do it just as well with some practice. There is also the minor issue of it being a pain to move the device along the page while it works, but that should be the easiest part of it to fix.

Overall pretty good for a day’s worth of work, dealing with thoughts and minds is always really complicated so figuring things out this quickly is definitely a good thing. It is still going to take a lot of refining and improving before I get everything exactly how I want it, probably more than most of my recent projects.

Other than that I spent my downtime hanging out with Azrezel. He’s been spending most of his time evolving his undead through the brute force method I used before figuring out how to trigger an evolution manually. He understands flesh manipulation enough to reliably and quickly trigger an evolution in some of his weaker undead, and observing and taking part in the evolution process makes for an amazing learning opportunity when it comes to shaping flesh and molding bone.

At this point, he is probably better at manipulating flesh than me, which would be no surprise as he is definitely talented at it. His control isn’t really on my level quite yet, my hivemind is significantly bigger than his, but his creativity with the subject is much greater. He’s coming up with ideas and techniques that I had never even considered, a little bit of mana control can be trained a lot easier than that. I could probably pull off something similar with Fate, but that would be temporary and I wouldn’t be able to do so regularly.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
