The book on healing is almost done, I give it a couple hours until it is complete. I'm really quite proud of my work here, it probably won't have as big of an impact as my plant manipulation book, and definitely not as big of an impact as the soul manipulation one I am going to write next, but with any luck it will help a lot of people learn how to heal. I just hope that some of those people return the favor.

Speaking of my plant manipulation book, the scholars have started distributing it to their various libraries and schools. They were also talking about actually trying to use it as a teaching aid, plant manipulation isn't exactly popular so there aren't very many textbooks on it. The few that do exist were mostly written by people who weren't exactly the most skilled in the subject, as most skilled plant manipulators are from the forest sprite line and as such don't really care about much beyond their forest. Which is weird, I thought forest sprites and like tended to cooperate and interact with the scholars. But I'm told that very few of us ever actually join up with the scholars in any official capacity, other types of sprites sure, but not forest sprites. You would think that a forest sprite would be in an ideal position to do much of the work that the scholars do, but I guess not.

The city my dad has been residing has been more or less entirely integrated into my hivemind now. What this means is that it is a lot easier to get news about the general state of affairs over there. From what I gather they are pretty much under constant assault. They were under an actual siege for a while, but fortunately for us, things like running out of food were trivially solved while the city has a rather impressive sewer system running underneath it keeping waste from being an issue, at least on this timescale. I'm not able to get anything detailed, but it seems like they are holding up really well under the assault, but are running out of something slowly. I'm not sure what though, seemed like some kind of weapon from the impression I was getting.

It took a long time to get that information from my hivemind, there were so many voices from so far away, with very few connections between here and there, that nothing but the big picture was getting through. So it ended up taking my downtime to get everything I could. It was worth it though, I got to find out that my dad is probably alive and well, which is plus.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
