Well, although I've been pining a lot about wishing I had better dexterity. I don't think I pass up on magic. Especially this magic. Although it's frustrating I just went through all that effort to make a stone axe, and now I get magic that would have saved me all the hassle. This would let me make stone furniture. It just lets me shortcut so much time I'd have to spend otherwise, that I don't think I pass up on it.
I mentally choose to prestige and pick stone shaping, a my sciousness fade.
Well, I grew again, but this time it seems like it was less than the growth between unon to rare. My muddy red fur has ged even further to an even more brown shade of red. I've also developed a patch of dark grey fur over the back of eay hands a. Satisfied with my self checkup, I check my stats.
Well, before I do anything else, I begin chowing down oy of the roots and more meat than I probably should. What I say, I'm hungry. As I am every time I've prestiged.
Satisfied, I make my way to the wall where I've tracked my stats so far, and decide to activate stone shaping rather than scratg in the values, and I learn a few things as a result. Stone shaping isn't instantaneous. If anything, it's slower than I'd expect, which means the mana cost of it isn't cheap actually, and just marking my level 0 stats on the wall leaves me with 10 mana.
Well, I believe this value settles that I'm keeping 5% of my gained HP, and adding onto my previous level 0 value. I gained 300 stats, 5% is 15, and 15 + 123 is 138. Maybe soon I try to solve MP. I have that charcoal now to write with, so if I find a nice pce or object to write on, or maybe if I make oh stone shaping, then I could sit down and math it out, but it's too much to try to tackle mentally.
Actually, looking over the walls where I've scratched stuff in before, I feel like I should try to them up. pared to the new values that I etched in the wall with magic, the previous writing looks really bad. I guess it's just ahing to try to take care of whenever I've got the MP to handle a new one.
Speaking of, I wonder how fast my mana regees? It's still at 10 now, even after that mental math. I decide I'll sit here until it gets to 11, then start ting.
After a little bit, it rolls over to 11, and I start ting.
1, 2, 3, ... , 581, 582, 583
And it rolls over to 12. Damn, that's slow. Almost 10 miain a mana. Okay, so maybe despite being so fshy, that goblin might have misled me on how good magic is. Seeing those fireballs had me all excited that magic was really good, but it turns out, not so much.
A sed I have now is how quickly I expect to level now. Every time I've prestiged, it's gotten harder and harder to level, so I'm a little ed about what rate it'll happen from here on out. Well, I just have to take each day as it es, and try to be as careful as I . Which means I should try to protect myself as much as I during my vulnerable first few levels. I have about five more days of roots to eat before I go out , so I would like to avoid leaving the retive safety of my cave until that point.
Well, if I'm not leaving for five days, I guess I'll o find things to keep myself preoccupied, and I do have a few things to take care of. I wao up the charcoal as best I , although that has it's own challehe bigger ks I move, but there is a lot of powder, and I doly have a broom. Although I suppose if I could make a fan with some root leaves iure, I could try to blow the small stuff into piles to scoop.
For now at least, I think I'll dedicate some time to just moving the charcoal ks into a pile closer to the exit, so that I haul it out of the cave ter. As for why I want to haul it out, I recall that charcoal is beneficial to pnts in some ways, so I want to spread it around where the edible roots are growing as I gather them. I've also decided to leave some of those pnts aloo seed and hopefully repopute the area ter.
Before I go out, I also want to use stone shaping to improve my stone axe. I should be able to actually make it resemble a true axe, and I probably even form the stone around the handle proper, so it won't break as easily. Which means I should actually fix my axe before my handwriting. I guess I'll have to suffer over seeing my bad scratgs on the wall a little longer. I've also pleted my to-do list, which means I actually should use stone shaping to erase those scratgs too.
Suddenly, it seems like I have a lot of things to do, but all of it is bottlenecked by how fast my mana recharge. Not only that, but doing a lot of the things I want to do, I no longer want to do by hand, because using magic will just result in a superior version of what I would do otherwise. Well, I guess I'll just haul charcoal until my mana is recharged.
My first mana recharge came as I was about halfway done hauling the bigger ks of charcoal into a pile. I take the opportunity to up the axe's bde, giving it a smooth curve with a fine sharpo it. Which leaves me at 2 mana. I k was going to be a long process when I started, but it keeps feeling disappointing.
I finish hauling the rest of the charcoal that I carry by hand before I've fully recharged my mana, but I have gained a single level. Whi itself is ing. I'm a little more than halfway through my day, and I'm only up one level. Which would mean it'll be fifty days before I prestige again. These time scales are getting longer and longer.
Ahing I haven't thought about is what if mana regen is a ft rate? If it is, then having more mana is just like building a dam on a small stream. Sure, I could get a lot of water, but it would take forever to refill. I didn't want to scratch things into the wall, but I go over to my to-do list, and scratch out all my pleted previous goals, and scrat: Iigate mana regen.
I doubt I would fet, but that at least gives me a reminder in case some crisis es up, and for a few days I'm forced to focus on something new.
When I finish scratg into the wall, my mana is recharged, and I begin maniputing the axe again. This time, I remove the vine binding on the axe, and use magic to begin molding the back of the axe to around the V of the handle. While not plete this time, it's enough that it holds it in pce for now. I should have the axe plete by the end of my ime w on it. Which means before I sleep tonight it should be done.
Well, now I'm not sure what I should do. I'm legitimately bored, and just trying to find something to do. I guess I could just rex for a bit. It's been basically nonstop work for a long while. I suppose resting on a while isn't a bad idea.
I go to y against my ile of crystals, but instead of the normal warm feeling, it feels hot. Very hot. OUCH! I hop up. What the heck. I reach out and touch the pile. It feels hot again, but not as hot as it just did. Shit, I should check my HP.
The first thing I notice is that I did lose some HP. The sed thing that I notice though, is my MP is full again. It was almost empty a moment ago. As I pohis for a moment, a smile creeps over my face.
