[x][Simple] Perform a simple experiment.
-[x][Simple] Acquire an external hard drive, the kind that's basically a very large USB stick for making backups but with a separate power cable, and power it with Brain > 'Zap' + Eldritch Relay > 'Zap' + Lightning Vision > 'Zap', then while doing that continuously plug it into a computer and download an offline copy of the entirety of wikipedia onto it so all of it passes through the mana. Lets make that thinker power ERN it's S rank.
[X][Business] Fund a venture.
-[X][Business] Try to extract some money from your Rogue Business (Gain granular liquid assets of your choosing on a successful Monetary Roll)
-[X][Business] Fund a project. (-1000$, A second [Project] action will be done this turn)
-[X][Business] Fund experiments. (-100$, three additional [Advanced] Tests are added)
[X][Project] The heroes have come to you with requests. If you so choose, you can tell them to give you a week, so you can do the job properly instead of just slapping something together today.
-[X][Project] Vista: her thing is spatial manipulation, run a quick test to see if her folding tricks can work with (or around) your folding tricks, than work from there.
-[X][Project] Kid Win: that sounds like opportunity for a small joint project to make sure that your creations is up to his specs. However, inform him stright up that we'll probably not be able to match a sustained energy output that big.
-[X][Project] Gallant: Seems easy enough we've done this plenty.
[X][Business] Establish a new way of making money using the means at your disposal
-[X][Business] Set up your building to sell goods from. Goods to Sell:
--[X][Business] Flying catfish (the cheapest kind you get from a petstore) made with Riftgecko Mutation + some minor mutations to make them breath air
--[X][Business] Fancy looking Betta fish modified with Chameleon Mutation, Ancestral Mimicry, Bioluminescence,
--[X][Business] Woodsmith Armor-based furniture grown organically in a single smooth piece
--[X][Business] Healing fruit made using Seeds of Life
--[X][Business] A small potted tree with 'Bioelectricity', mutated and with small copper bits it's made to grow around such that you can plug USB cables into it and use it to power and charge electronics
--[X][Business] Recovery gel
[X][Business] Look into acquiring the bit of forest where we did the QA summoning and the dome is legally, or somewhere as near as possible as cheaply as possible, so we can do more stuff there without risking getting in trouble if someone finds out.
[X][Sage] What will you do as Sage?
-[X][Sage] Continue your magical training.
--[X][Sage] Practice/Create a constrained form of Arcane magic with the key feature of directly or metaphorically mentioning specific mana types and attunement materials you are familiar with and using that as a focus for both willpower and symbolism to make the mana act like mana attuned to those substances and attunement chains. It's secondary but still important features are building more power and focus over the course of a long and detailed intonation, in a monotone almost chanted style dominated by rhyming couplets.
[X][Project] The hunger to experiment consumes your mind. You'll discard a project this week.
[x][Taylor] What sort of things will you do as Taylor?
-[x][Taylor] It's time for the beach episode! After all, it's not far.
--[x][Taylor] Ask Lisa if she wants to come too, her and dad being acquaintances might come in handy at some point.
--[x][Taylor] Bond with dad and relax
--[x][Taylor] Experiment more with mer-magic in its proper environment
--[x][Taylor] Test various natural marine attunements, such as gills and scales of fish, deeper and non-bucket-contaminated seawater, etc.
--[x][Taylor/Sage?] Explore the elemental realm of (sea) water.
--[x][Taylor/Sage?] Try out some solution for breathing underwater and swim deeper.
[X][Simple] Do an experiment on how long a tree that is just a sphere of wood can survive without those things and in darkness but supplied with liquid plant mana injected into it via symbiont, and how healthy it can stay that way and any issues being kept like that long term would cause. This is kind of important if we want to make much of our equipment out of living wood, and not carry around gant pots of dirt or have big leaves we have to make sure get enough sunlight.
[X][Simple] Test some things for if they count as elements using the aluminum set
-[X][Simple] Stone, as a distinct thing from Earth
-[X][Simple] Plants, in the form of trees
-[X][Simple] Machinery, in the form of the engine of some large vehicle
-[X][Simple] Air, or are you already in the plane of air by default?
[X][Simple] What happens if you try to bring back some of those odd substances from the earth plane?
[X][Simple] What happens if you take off your aluminum set while in an elemental realm? It might be tricky to find a place to *safely* test this, but it would be good to know how much to worry about the armor being damaged.
[X][Simple] Do a test and comparison between a plant and soil-dust, and a clay and air-dust mana engine, figuring out which one is more efficient, powerfull, and relative strengths and weaknesses, to better be able to choose between the two options in the future.
[X][Simple] Study a series of experiments related to the formation of solid matter from surrounding air and/or mana, first for phonemes, then for runes. These experiments and phenomena are:
-[X][Simple] Basic silicon synthesis
-[X][Simple] the 'Poof' phonem
-[X][Simple] Clay mana turning air into air-dust
-[X][Simple] pure silicon dust (say, pouring it between containers and listening to the rustling sound)
-[X][Simple] A lump of ice solidifying in a container of water
-[X][Simple] A tree growing and converting CO2 from the air into wood
-[X][Simple] Alchemy holding 'value' that includes some mass inside it, and then converting that back into a massive object.
-[X][Simple] the precipitation of magnesium carbonate in water from dissolved sodium carbonate and magnesium sulfate.
[X][Simple] Raid a spice rack and/or herb garden and/or roadside patch of weeds, and mass-test which of these plants have something other than Plant mana if you attune to the right part of them: (ooc note: I used
List of plants used in herbalism to make the list, and they're in this format rather than the attunement chain table to allow more GM pickiness with most of them turning out to just have plant mana and *less* work hopefully) white willow, chamomile, garlic, ginger, gingko, saint john's wort, aloe vera, belladonna, marigold, cannabis, thistle, hawthorn, foxglove, horsetail, poppy, coca, eucalyptus, alder buckthorn, geranium, snowdrop, licorice root, witch-hazel, sea buckthorn, bay laurel, lavender, magnolia, peppermint, lotus, basil, oregano, lungwort, rosemary, elderberry, feverfew, thyme, stinging nettle, veronica, mistletoe.
[X][Simple] Study a
Tesla valve for both phonems and runes. And...
-[X][Simple] In addition to passing water through it, try passing blood, raw thaum mana,
-[X][Simple] as well as Elemental Mater Language mana (in and out of water) that you then apply to paper.
-[X][Simple] To further complement this, draw a tesla valve onto a piece of paper using paper mana, then apply Elemental Mater Language mana to that paper.
-[X][Simple] Then repeat that but simultaneously studying and focusing intently on an electrical diode and a ratchet gear.
-[X][Simple] While at it I guess also study the diode and ratchet gear for phonemes and runes.
-[X][Simple] Oh and test what a rune that's just shaped like a tesla valve does.
[X][Simple] test phonemes, I count 9:: "Shha shh splash slush tsss t' Fff chsh, squelch"
[X][Simple] Try Scribe Elemental Language of Water + Fire + Earth + Air
[X][Simple] Try Scribe Elemental Language of Water + Fire + Earth + Wood + Metal
[X][Simple] Try Scribe Elemental Language of Water + Emerald - Earth (subtracted using disenchant alchemy.)
