Today a significant chunk of people got to the point that I could no longer teach them, a little more than two thousand of them. It wasn't enough to make a siginificant difference to how quickly I'm able to teach people, but it was enough of a difference to be noticable.

It's honestly kind of amazing how quickly the elf kid is improving, especially considering the fact that his skill has nothing to do with any innate tallents in his species. With a combination of single minded determination and sheer devotion he is pulling ahead of the masses. There are a couple others similar to him, but he was the first to catch my eye and the most extreme example. All of the rest had at least some talent with plant manipulation to start with.

I managed to get a crude system working to get my plants to read memories. The process is slow and it fails to work half of the time, and even when it does work there are holes in what it reads and it damages the memories, but it does technicly work. This part is a lot harder than I was expecting it to be, a lot of the theory I know about how a brain comunicates with the soul simply does not apply to plants like I thought it did, or at least not in the way I'm using these plants. I'm basiclly going at this blind, throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. It might end up taking longer than I would have liked, but at least I will learn more about the way plants interact with souls. Using that knowledge I should be able to improve my Ents.

Maybe I could draw some inspiration from slimes, their bodies seem to revolve around the soul. Or at least the one example I have studied did. It's worth a shot, even if it fails.

I ended up talking to the Scholars a lot today, mostly them asking for my assistance with minor issues that were easy for me to solve. Most of it revolving around plants, though I did get asked about the function of a certian organ they couldn't identify. It turned out to be an oddly shapped bladder belonging to a couple different species of monster. It was designed that way not due to any benefit from that shape, but because the designer didn't have space for something more functional. Really it's just bad design, likely created by an amature dungeon. I say that but they were probably older than I am when they designed the creature this originaly came from.

They were also all talking about how popular my books were. Apparently my books are both increadibly easy to understand and increadibly comprehensive. Which I was honestly kind of shocked to hear about, you would think that people that have spent their entire lives writing would be able to write an easily understood textbook. But no, when I asked the scholars said that anyone capable of writing in such depth either has better things to do with their time or does so in a sort of code so that only the ones the have chosen can understand their works, which is weird, why would you want to obscure knowledge? unless it was super dangerous like self-perpetuating curses or nuclear fire wouldn't it be better if the knowledge was as wide spread as possible? That way it's a lot more likely for someone to figure out a way to improve on your work, which you can then go and improve on.

I should write a couple more books, there are a couple that I have in mind that I want to write. With how well recived my previous ones have been I imagine writing more will only make them like me more, which can only be a good thing. I think I will do so after I'm done teaching plant manipulation.

The books I want to write now all follow more or less the same theme; instead of being a compendium of information like my last ones were I want to write guide books. Basically how to do magic books with all of the various types of magic I know how to do, with the book itself being able to both replicate itself and functioning as a crutch for those that aren't able to interact with that kind of magic. Like say a book on the soul made out of Grey Iris, or a book on healing made out of Whitefoot. I am actually getting really exicted about this one.

But I need to do the other project I had planned with the soul first, it's more important if less fun. Hopefully it won't take much active effort to do.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
