Rain and I weren't able to have that conversation as soon as she'd wanted. Our schedules haven't allowed for it. But we did manage to set aside some time to speak with each other. I wonder what she could possibly have to tell me that she couldn't have just written in my journal. I guess I'll find out later today.

Since I no longer require sleep (so far as I can tell anyway) I've decided all my time previously used for sleep will instead go towards the creation and testing of new spells. The only issue is: what spell do I begin on first? I have so many ideas, but I know if I start on one without prioritizing, I'll just move on to another before I'm finished. And there's nothing I hate more than half-finished work, especially my own.

Orich has decided I should forget about learning combat magic and instead focus on honing my physical strength. The whole point of being a unicorn is that I shouldn't have to perform degrading manual tasks. I mean, come no. Magic, Orich: do you know what it is? 



Rain's notes: 

I remember you mentioning something to me about writing to your mother. It doesn't seem that you've done that yet. I imagine that she's worried sick. Perhaps a teleportation spell, or something of that sort, is in order. You know, so that you can write to your mother more frequently.

On the topic of Orich's training: it's well intentioned. But you know what they say about the road to Tartarus. . . also I don't see why you're complaining about degrading manual tasks. Your profession is basically one giant degrading manual task.



Addendum: Actually, it's one big degrading magical task. And how did you write that so quickly? I just wrote this about two minutes ago.
