[X][Daily Activities] Make contact with Lisa again: Explain why you are not prepared to become a villain or do anything illegal, even indirectly by helping her do such things, and cant be seen publicly associating with her, but if she's willing to despite those conditions you can still be friends and you do really need someone to talk to and consider her advice valuable. Also just use her as a shoulder to lean on and talk your feelings out.
-[X][Daily Activities] Think out loud-ish while near Lisa: "Hmm, how would the PRT react if we said we realized we might be able to do "something really bad" with our power, and want their help limiting ourselves so we *cant* do it if we "get captured by a villain or something". Possibly adding that if they do that, they can leave an exception in their conditioning for doing it against endbringers only. For example; what if we take an iron pot, fill it with water, mix in (in decreasing order of amount and importance) silicon dust, Zinc dust, ethanol, and bone meal. Then put a huge bunch of mana into it, then onto this mana thats 90% arcane but with a smidge of silicon, chant: "kettle kettle boil and bubble, brew me up a pot of trouble, upon those by this concoction splashed, turn their hopes all into ash, curse them with eternal pain, all attempts to cure: in vain, Their screams sweet music to my ears, let all who touch them be in tears, a melting horror to behold, 'Beware' all who see them be told, None shall dare the ire of Sage, when I release this cursed plague", and while applying it back to targeting the water and stuff in the pot and mixing it with Thaum > Zinc > Zinc > Zinc > Zinc > Zinc ("Cursed One") mana. Then before it "sets" add a drop of blood. Stir thoroughly with a bone, then pour into a throwable bottle and seal it."

[X][Cape Activities] What will you do as Sage?

-[X][Cape Activities] Go to the PRT to collect your donations (These can also be collected by establishing your Second Identity) (Can be done in addition to other actions)

[X][Cape Activities] What will you do as Sage?
-[X][Cape Activities] Set up your Legal Second-Identity (We will go directly to the government, and out ourselves to the trustworthy officials in charge of this exact thing. Simply have them quietly link our Sage Identity to our Real Identity. It's not like we plan on outright breaking laws anyways. Skirting and pushing them a bit with technically legal biotinkering? Absolutely. But we shouldn't have any major crimes planned. We can set things up, run by the PRT to collect donations, and move on with our plans.)

--[X][Cape Activities] Ask what the rules are for GIVING donations, or items and weapons that can be used in the next endbringer fight even if you aren't there.
--[X][Cape Activities] Aks if there's some kind of contact that'd be suitable to explain WHY you aren't prepared to be a Hero or officially affiliating with anyone, so they can know in case there are any situations they SHOULD contact you for, in some informal non-binding arrangement. Also, just having someone you can safely talk to.

[x][Cape activities] if we do get in contact with panacea try and play up the magic Cape angle. she seemed kinda scared of us before so her thinking we're a bit goofy about magic should be fine right?

[X][Project] You'll begin a project of some kind.
-[X][Project] Your best shot at stopping someone attacking ended up being an uncontrolled blast of lightning. You should probably come up with a better self-defense tool than a knife and some glowing dust (Study various stopping effects to try and derive more general spells. Triage Shock only paralyzes wounds and lightstop only freezes time for light. Try to figure out how to generalize those into stopping people.)

You should probably come up with a better self-defense tool than a knife and some glowing dust (We will build a Staff that uses Egg mana, Gravity Control, And BioElectric Algae clouds, to let us create and control gravity and Bio Electric Algae clouds. Since our creations can't reproduce on their own, can't survive on their own, and even forcing them to divide using egg mana is a mostly active process that only works in our presence and/or the presence of the device, we technically aren't breaking any laws by doing this. The staff will have a hidden central rod made using Vampire Plant, as it is deeply tied with our will. Around this we will grow a staff of apple tree wood as a Nature Diplomat to control and bring all the parts of the staff together, lacing it with Cell-Recycling Management Biofibers, Graviton Exchanger Mutations, and BioElectric mutations.

-
-
[X][Mana] Something Else (Stone Free uses a mass of distinct mana types carrying distinct patterns drawn by basically "Scanning" a bird. What would happen if we instead attempted to take the bird mana and mix it all into a vague swirling mass before synthesizing it. Would the result be something remarkably esoteric? Would it simply be a "Stone holding all the powers of a bird") Or would it simply be some sort of malformed junk?)
-
-
[X][Mana] Gallium appears capable of manipulating materials on a conceptual level instead of a physical one. Test out chains to see if you can find ways of adding desired conceptual properties to materials. This may let you make, for example, armor out of clothing that comes with no additional weight or restricted range of motion.
-
-
[X][Mana] Something Else (Your bird golems are capable of independent movement and performing simple tasks. What would happen if you used alchemy to convert them into a featureless form, such as a block of wood? Would this give you the ability to make essentially stealth golems, items capable of performing simple tasks despite lacking any visible ability to do those tasks?)
-

-
-
