I teleport the crate of materials with [Immaculate Translocation] into my shop. It contains the last of the mana-producing materials I need to make the flagship reactor.
I thank the deliveror and get to work. It has been another week, but fortunately, materials that produce elemental mana are far more common than the ones that produce rese...

This week I want to work on the folklore of the Runalymo. Folk tales about monsters, history, weather, and people. I already have one but having more will certainly help give the Runalymo culture depth.
I'm not asking for an essay, a simple concept suggestion is good enough to help give me a different point of view on how to approach this ...

"Do I know of a way to restore anima?" Kayafe repeats my question. "So it all makes sense, then; the weird magic items you've made. You’ll be pleased to know that there are ways to restore Anima. Evolving your race to Legendary will grant you a vast amount of anima, hundreds of times more than normal.”
That’s good to know, but my...

Ruluna has progressed fast in her ability to track my perception!
She’s managed to get past my perceptive knot; instead of trying to follow the complex perceptive information path, she instead hoped around and followed it until she found the exit or until a new loop which greatly increased her chances of finding the knot’s exi...

Just a heads up that I will be changeing over to the new billing tiers in one hour (4pm PST) and in order to do that I will have to delete the current ones so you will have to re-subscribe. If you've already paid with the last week or have already been billed for next month you can message me for a refund.

Stage three will consist of making the mana wiring all thro...

Myrou wonders around the edge of the void. A curious thing; the void is infinite yet defined, a seeming contradiction yet it exists.
"You still haven't figured it out, Myrou?" Venaro is always teasing her about it, yet he is the only one to know it.
The void is a strange place; the realms are infinite in size yet finite in t...
