Today I learned more about what you can do with the soul. Either I’m getting better at learning through this method or the other dungeon is improving whatever it is he’s using to communicate with me because it feels like it is getting easier and faster. I’m learning more in the same amount of time. Which is great, because there seems to be quite a lot left to learn about, which makes sense as it is basically the life work of a several millennia-old dungeon, they are supposedly older than most Origin. I honestly kind of feel bad about this, he did agree to it but still. I would certainly hate to divulge my every secret thanks to the kind of deal we made. I’m not going to stop just because of that, but still.

I finally got around to learning about what the changing colors of my soul mean. It turns out to be pretty much exactly what I guessed, a representation of power. It has something to do with the way soul energy interacts with your perception, there was a long complicated lecture about what exactly was happening but the simple explanation was that as density increases whatever it is that lets people like me perceive soul energy changes. The only real practical effect of this is to cause soul manipulators and others with powerful souls, as apparently manipulating the soul directly is not the only thing that causes your soul to get denser, to stick out like a sore thumb to anyone with the ability to see it. You can mask this, it’s pretty simple as all you need to do is put a layer of relatively normal density soul energy on top of your soul. But a competent soul mage can see right through this and it limits the amount of energy you can have available at any given time.

It was a really interesting lesson, now if only he would explain what he meant by my soul becoming ‘more pure’.

During my downtime today I hung out with Tiddol, which was fun. She seems happier, more relaxed since she has come back from the front lines. She was angry when she first got back, apparently, she managed to talk to Willow before everything went down over there. She had some very strong and colorful words about that conversation but didn’t go into what was actually said. The terms ‘treacherous coward’ and ‘brainwashed fools’ were thrown around a lot, and those were some of the tamer examples.

Once she actually calmed down though she was much calmer and happier than I had seen her in quite a while, she was practically glowing. Makes me wish I could join them on the front lines already. Although I have a feeling that studying the soul might help with that, I’m just not sure how yet.

Other than that not a lot happened today. The feasting has mostly wrapped up and everyone is in a sort of stupor from partying for two days straight, so there wasn’t really much to do. I’m just glad that we can mass-produce food more or less for free, otherwise, these frequent feasts would be impossible.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
