I got a chance to examine my own internal body structure today, to really see what’s different. The most painfully obvious difference is my mana storage, the other day i said that i noticed it increasing by about half, well after that i kind of stop paying attention to that part. My mana capacity increased to double that, so a total of triple the starting point, this is going to take forever to fill up, especially since my plants aren’t producing as much mana right now, and that’s only going to slow down, but hey, having access to that mana will make learning new magics easier.

The next thing I noticed was many of the changes to my body’s internal magical structure, everything was improved, usually drastically. Possibly the smallest increase was too my physical strength, which was only noticeable because I was looking for it. I’m also much more durable, if before Parius could snap me in half with one hand, now he would need two, now that I think about it, could Parius do that? I know he wouldn’t, but still, now i’m curious. I’m also a lot more coordinated and a lot faster. All of these things are something everyone experiences to a degree, as testified by everyone I know who has evolved at one point or another.

Now the real interesting part is what happened with the parts that are used in magic. All of them went through significant changes, not all of them are immediately obvious why. The way some parts changed offered little to no benefit when using magic, while nothing outright made magic more difficult it didn’t improve things to the level I would have expected with how much everything changed. That isn’t to say my ability to use magic hasn’t improved much, quite the contrary, the change was huge, to the point that I completed my goal with water manipulation today, and then some. Of course, I was only learning the basics, anything more complicated is going to take a lot more time.

The one thing i was looking forward to the most, however, wasn’t there. The whole reason behind my evolution in the first place was what i did with the solar energy i managed to gather the other day, forge a way for me to gather it in the future. And there is nothing, no solar energy anywhere in my body. I guessed that it was being destroyed faster than it could pool in my body was correct, because when i circulated everything in my body faster enough, both what little solar energy i was gathering and all my mana, it became noticeable.

From there I managed to run some tests, and here is what I learned from said tests. The amount of skin the sunlight directly touched directly correlates to how much energy I gather, hair counts, my armor doesn’t, for now at least the most effective way to gather it is to lay down in the sun completely naked, not something I want to do. The energy does, in fact, turn into mana when it is destroyed, and it’s the mana that is destroying it, this means that I could get stable access to it if I were to remove all the mana from my body, which would kill me so no thanks. I am also unable to gather up a usable amount of Solar energy without focusing on gathering it to an unreasonable degree, at least for now, I’m going to try to change that.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
