Today we had a small development with the bombs. We’ve managed to figure out what material they are made of, more or less anyway. It turns out to be some biological material that has been alchemically treated through an as of yet unknown method. The stuff is the fat of a type of powerful demon, which uses its fat to double as a form of mana storage. There aren’t exactly a lot of creatures on that level anywhere, so it should narrow down the possibilities by quite a bit, but it doesn’t do us as much good as I would have liked as demons are pretty common in the continents near our own, supposedly their home continent is rather close to us.

While figuring out what it was made of didn’t help as much in the way I had hoped it would, it did give us a way to safely dispose of the bombs. Though whatever alchemical process the fat was treated with hardened it to be about as hard as wood it only slightly increased its melting point. So we are able to safely melt them down if we do it slowly, it still takes all day to do so, but it’s better than the alternative.

I expect that by this time tomorrow a quarter of the remaining students will have either graduated or joined my Paladins. I give it three days before the rest follow them. I’m curious to see how such a massive influx of highly trained plant manipulators will affect things. Previously I have been the only one truly skilled enough to create things like the teleporters, but with this a large group of plant manipulators might be able to get together and design something similar. Maybe not as quickly as I could do it, but it can happen.

I’ll admit, I am mostly interested in seeing the new things that these people create, but I expect the social changes would also be interesting to observe. I expect that being good at plant manipulation will be considered a lot more normal, though the actual effects of that aren’t something I’m able to guess.

Other than that I hung out with Jasmine today as she was in town. Most of the time was spent with her talking to me while I just listened, she’s definitely a lot more outgoing than me in that regard. I learned a lot about her life, this one anyway as she is a bit light lipped about the details of her previous life. She was complaining a lot about having relationship issues, from the sound of it she can’t get a relationship to last longer than a year, though she also never feels as close to her old lovers as I imagine most people do. Maybe she’s just a flighty person by nature? Who knows, I certainly don’t. Still, it was nice to hang out with her. I wish she was in town more often.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
