Dear self,
Rahph had really taken to floating around within the dreamscape instead of sticking to the ground. You could be wandering anywhere among the trees and suddenly an oversized lizard with a ridiculously stupid look on his face would come drifting by on the imaginary wind. The way he turns his head like a bird to look at things only makes it look even stranger than it already does.
He’s been moving around like this for the last couple of nights already, but before he would still go lazing in his fire pool hour after hour. He must have finally realised that floating takes just as little effort as sleeping does. The only effort he bothers making now is when a Lightspawn drifts to close he would snap his jaws at them and waddle through the air to try to catch the escapees, which was all of them.
I’ve gotten a little too used to the dream lasting longer, so the last few nights have ended a little too abruptly for me. Less time sleeping in this case meant not only less time in dream, but a smaller proportion of time from my time away from the waking world. It takes some energy to sustain a proper vivid dream or vision, which means that the dreamscape relies on more than just me to exist continuously but adding to my stay there would take resources or become a drain on my health. When you get accustomed to having agency within the dream realm it becomes a pain to lose it. The difference between being limited to the waking world or having access to a mindscape is qualitative, and it has a potentially large effect on creative thought and introspection.

Today was spent working on the evasion cloak. It’s mostly complete at this point. It can project the image of it’s wearer as a glamour. It can suppress the presence of either or both depending on a few factors. You can act through the projection much like it was yourself and altering the presence suppression made it seem like you were switching places between one and the other. It’s ability to alter its appearance may also be used with both instances.
The hardest part was completing the material phasing, which allowed for a lot of freedom of use when joined with the other functions. Phasing allowed the wearer not only to reduce their weight and tangible presence but allowed them to grant that tangibility to the projected image as a result through a simple permanent invocation. It was similar to turning the user partially ethereal in a way. Ease of movement was greatly improved with the phasing magic included, since movement becomes incredible simple when you are phased out of Materiality to a limited extent.
The only downsides were its effect on aura. It was mostly an intimidation aura but could alert people if the wearer was observing them from nearby, even if they would not have sensed the wearer normally when not in possession of the cloak. The appearance alteration was also dysfunctional in the case of my personal usage, it kept turning into a colourless figure that didn’t blend into more natural backgrounds. I would be the only person fooled by such a camouflage. I could use essence to add the necessary colour, but the effort it requires every now and then means it would be useless for more active usage. You don’t want to be seen at all preferably, and a slip like that ruins the entire purpose.

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.
