Able drake's Impirial manifesto : calendar of order : year 62
Able Drake-
When I entered my room It was the icarus equivalent of 3pm so I had a couple hours of time to play around with mana weaver. How I was going to grind it out was by trying to get the stabilizer out of the construct or in laymans terms 'spel', and using the new node in a fun or cool way. The new was a coloration node It pretty much changed the color of the spell however you want for 1 mana extra to the building costs.
First I made the construct more structured by making it a triangle. The next construct was just made without the lines to the stabilizer and the stabilizer node, it just collapsed no explosion just dispersion of mana. When I did it again I looked at the construct and I saw that the mana string wasn't strong enough to keep the nodes together, so in the next one I connected the nodes with 2 strings and it dispersed like last time. Then I did 3&4 strings, and it dispersed. when 5 strings were made and the nodes slowly dispersed over a minute, the nodes were apparently not strong enough.

It seems that the more mana a construct has the more the force that causes the dispersion, which I'll call the 'ambiant mana dispersion law' Increases. And I believe this is what the staibilizer weakens or increases resistence too. so I should decrease the strings but reinforce them.
I first did 4 thicker strings and the nodes dispersed, then 3, then 2, then 1. 'Maybe I'm going the wrong way' I thought. My idea is that I need to refine the nodes instead of the strings, then Mana weaver leveled up. It just lowered mental strain on using mana, which is good for more intricate details in constructs. Which I'll be sure to use for my plans.
First I made the original triangle.
Then I just made another one, but took away the mana from the light node a bit and did that with some trail and error the wasted mana that did nothing in the node was removed. But it still collapsed. Next I did the same with the reciver, but it changed nothing.
Another try was reinforcing specific parts of the strings, like the middle of the string. Because I've seen a trend that the 'mana dispersion law', is that its pulled from inside to outside. The inside being the figurative center of mass.
But after the construct was made, the parts of the strings attached to the nodes got ripped apart.
so instead of making those parts thicker. I made the ends of the strings into two mini strings, and it took less time to break apart.
When I did it with three, it took 10 seconds to fall apart. Which was good .
After an hour of doing this I just took a break and layed down for 5 minutes, healing the strain on the mind.
After that I did 4 mini strings but the time to collapse was 1 second shorter, which is very bad.

Then I had an idea of having two extra strings on the left and right of the original but it didn't change much.
Then I Through trail and error slowly changed the proportions of the strings, thickening the mini strings or thining them. Trying to find the most efficient way of mana usage.
Then I had a revolutionary idea 'What if I make the distance of the nodes smaller?' Having to have less mana in the middle of the string, and overall just less mana because the string was shorter. It sounded great theoretically, but then reality came slaming down. When I shortened the string bit by bit, the time till collapse increased. But then I realized that it wasn't so easy, at half the original line's length. The string became unstable, my theory was that it was not having enough mana to handle the transfer of mana. But first I made the new minimal length my new starting point.
After another 5 minute break I started making new 'inovations'. First I tried to take out 6 mini strings out of the middle of the main string to attach to the first 6 mini strings, and it added another second of time before collapse.
I then added to the current trend making three mini strings that connected the above and below. But then decreased the time to collapse, this wasn't going my way and I had nagotiations to do tommorow. With that blacksmith and carpenter.
I then thought 'I'm going to sleep'

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
