《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 155
Advertisement
Tomorrow is the last day I will create Requiem, anything more than that is dangerous. I'm not even sure I should be doing this much, but I can't afford not too.
At this point I am struggling to expell mana fast enough, it's not impossible but my level of control does suffer. It isn't bad now, but it is rapidly getting worse. Luckily I don't need to control all of the mana I am using, I trained my paladins for a reason, but this will take workers away from producing nessecary equipment for our soldiers.
I wonder if there is a way to fix this issue. There is probably very little I can do to improve my ability to expell mana on a physical level, that is already refined well beyond my ability to improve thanks to my last evolution. A bit of practice would certianly help, but it would take a long time to fix that issue. Maybe it has something to do with the size of my mana pool? None of the scholars I talked to knew anything about that off hand, but they promised that they would dig arround. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they found nothing, no one has ever had such a disparity between mana production and mana pool size, and for that matter no one has ever had this much mana production. There isn't enough atmospheric mana to support it, and those capable of creating mana are few and far between, and none of them have done so on this kind of scale. If they had there would be more mana.
If this issue does have anything to do with my mana pool then I'm not sure that there is anything I can do about it. Removing the gemstones from my mana pool doesn't have an effect on my control over mana, and adding a ton of gemstones would just make everything worse. The only way that I could really increase the size of mana pool is through my dungeon core, and the only way I can think to do that would be to do nothing with my mana, or at least the only way that doesn't risk the ire of powerful dungeons. And that would likely be for naught due to the constant emotional and magical stress that I am under, though it would likely make my dungeon core mature very rapidly.

I wonder what kind of effects that would have. It generally expands your capabilities and I know some of the big ones, like soul manipulation, but I never looked out beyond a couple decades for a normal dungeon. My core is definitly maturing much faster than average simply because of how much mana is constantly flowing through me, but by how much I wonder. I'll ask around the terminal, someone probably knows, some dungeons have been arround for thousands of years after all.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
