The invisible island civil war spectacularly ended today. Someone blew up the capital during a major military parade. Like the entire city, it's just gone. In its place is crater filled with still cooling slag. Radioactive slag. They have people capable of using nuclear fire, people that the scholars are not aware of.

Naturally, I have already started the cleanup of this waste. It should be gone in days.

Most of the revolutionaries have access to my hivemind, it is very likely that this person is already one of us. But picking them out of the masses is easier said than done. If I don't know someone well then it can be impossible to find them. But even then I should try to find and talk with them, learn what I can from them. They would be a great asset to have on our side, possibly even enough to end the war. But for now, I am going to try and keep this incident quiet. This never happened and the scholars should not find out, not yet anyway. Not until I can confirm that this nuclear mage is under my power.

There are scholars on the island, but none of them have heard about the incident yet. All of them fled that country after the war started so I should have time to clean up the waste before they hear about it and start flocking over to the crater. I need to be out of there before that happens. I need to speed things up a lot. Should be simple enough, I'm not doing much with my mana right now. It will make it more difficult to learn about solar energy, but I can always do that later. This has a time crunch.

It was definitely an interesting way to spend my downtime, and an exciting one.

Other than that I spent most of my time working on the book with Emericus, but nothing of importance happened today.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
