[X][Daily Activities] What sort of things will you do during the day?
-[x][Daily Activities] Something Else (Spend some time with your dad(maybe use Remembered Days to look at some memories of your mom together?))
[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 out healing with Panacea even more.
-[X][Cape Activities] You'll spend your time investigating.
--[X][Cape Activities] Investigate the gang attack on the Barnes family last year. You now know the names of the gangsters who did it.
---[X][Cape Activities] Track down the ones in prison.
[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] What will you do as Sage?
-[X][Cape Activities] Go out healing with Panacea even more.
--[X] Discuss the principles of burn out and "put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others" self care. Helping more people in the short term is useless if it leads to an inability to help anyone in the long term, which applies both to the mental and physical issues of burnout as well as the practical issues of survival without income. Also discuss how the patients are still paying the hospital (as much as $100 for a saline bag) and that charging even one dollar per patient would lead to comfortable self sufficiency without harming anyone.

--[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][Project] You'll begin a project of some kind.
-[X][Project] Greg Veder's Videogame gave you the inspiration to try crafting your own summoned being. You'll try to create a creature of pure mana, and see what happens if you call Thoth's Will to inhabit it in place of your own. With some restrictions, of course.
[X][Project] You'll begin a project of some kind.
-[X][Project] Design a healing golem to help panacea. Make a core based on you and use materials that should allow a combination of side effects that cancel out.

-[x][Project] Something Else (Using stone synthesis on metals causes them to become Defined Ores of said metal. Maybe we could use this ore to forge a weapon of magic, an Excalibur if you will? Attempt to learn metal working to make weapon before the next endbringer battle. We can give it to a worthy champion then.)

-[X][Project] Something Else (Time to upgrade in STYLE. etc. etc.)
--[X] Create a Duplicate of our armor, and use Thaum > [Plant + skin] > Water to make an arcane mana and apply large amounts of it to the whole armor while chanting:
[X][Mana] Extract (using Nickel or Boron magic) and test thaumic mana on the following elements if possible: Sodium (salt), Chlorine (also salt), Argon (gas in fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs), Phosphorous (matches), Americium (in smoke detector), Nitrogen (ammonia/fertilizer), Hydrogen (water), Oxygen (water), Fluorine (toothpaste), Potassium (banana), Magnesium (fire starters, some fertilizers), Arsenic (insecticides, potentially in rice), Rhodium, Palladium (both in catalytic converters), Antimony (batteries), Osmium (some ballpoint pen tips), Mercury (old thermometer, fluorescent lamp)
[X][Mana] See if any other kind of pattern affects mana. Lay out a pentagram of dust and ignite it to see if the shape results in anything different than igniting a pile on its own.
[X][Mana] Experiment with Arcane > Sulfur. Can magically created heat enhance the result or is non-magic heat better? Test how well hellfire (thaumic sulfur) can covert materials to hellish materials. Also, check for side effects of hellish materials and void the results if necessary.
[X][Mana] Using an insect, test the ability of a large dose of Thaum > Graphite > Copper to revert extreme whole-body mortal wounds if applied fast enough. This could potentially be the basis of an "extra life" device if it works.
[X][Mana] Something Else (Test the Arcane Spell "Tick, Tock, start the clock/ One, two, three, four, are you going to wait a second more? / Five, six, seven, eight, You might be running a little late. / With my blade of living silver / From your prison I do deliver." Looking at the results of prior spells we should also consider trying it WITH a blade made of wood and silver. We could make a wooden knife and wrap a silver necklace around it. The idea is to get a spell which can disrupt time magic. Grey Bubbles aside, we may need to deal with time magic related accidents at some point, or worse, an enemy with time abilities. Time opposes itself, and silver has gravity powers. So a blade charged with spacetime bending gravity that disrupts time prisons?)
[X][Mana] Something Else (Cast "Black Rose Whip Born of the River Lethe" and apply the resulting magic to silicon. Would it create a memory effecting stone? Try this with "Blaze Shotgun" as well, attuning the mana to the silicon before it can execute its delayed commands.)
-[X][Mana] Attempt to string together an Attunement Chain ("Void Spark" > Graphite)
-[X][Mana] Attempt to string together an Attunement Chain ("Void Spark" > Silicon)
-[X][Mana] Attempt to string together an Attunement Chain ("Void Spark" > Stone)

-[X][Mana] Attempt to string together an Attunement Chain ("Bioluminescence" + "Warm Glow")
-[X][Mana] Attempt to string together an Attunement Chain ("Bioluminescence" + "Ancestral Memory")
[X][Mana] Something Else (See what happens if we take an image using Vital Sight, and then use Vital Mimicry to copy that vitality into something else. Either by passing the image form one mass of mana to the other, or applying the magic to paper as a medium. Can we record scans of something's Vitality in this way?)
[X][Mana] Mana - Test Materials (Gallium, Bird, Stone) - Attuning Gallium Mana with Thaum results in mana that causes things to change form. Attuning an object with Bird Mana results in an object that acts to our will, in a bird-like form. These 2 could be very useful in conjunction.
[X][Mana] Use Arcane > Air and listen to the language which comes out of it. Try to speak it using no mana, Thaum mana, and Arcane mana. Use a linguistics book to see if you can decipher it.
-[X][Mana] Study it for Phonems
[X][Alchemy] Try using Cadmium mana on magically created substances, i.e. wardstone, timeshift rock (and maybe arcane sulfur created materials?). Try using Cadmium and/or Beryllium to imbue your armor with the self-repair properties of timeshift rock.

[X][Alchemy] You have (Seven) Alchemy Tests Remaining.
-[X][Alchemy] Create a Duplicate of our armor, and VERY CAREFULY Let it soak in a bucket of "Reroll".
-[X][Alchemy] Use "Simplfy" on a damaged mini TV being powered by "Malfunction". Can we restore the TV to something approximating working order in this manner?

[X][Learn] Other parahumans appear to be entirely non-magical or at least don't use the same energy I can detect. All Powers apparently have "thoughts" and a Corona Pollentia serving as a relay, yet I am the only known outlier regarding magic. My Power can tell me all the nuances of most Thaumic mana, yet struggles with the more metaphorically inclined Arcane. So: Powers are alive enough to have thoughts, my Power struggles with understanding forms of magic that I can (roughly) grasp, and it can adapt to new discoveries I have made (i.e. my development of a phonetic eidetic memory). Do all parahuman abilities come from magic on the other side of the relay, and my Power is broken/leaking it over? Or did my Power give me magic to learn from me?
[x][Learn] Is there anything else I've learned?
-[x][Learn] (when you used alchemy to transfer worth from a watch to a knife, the took on aspects of clockwork. So worth is more conceptual than material.)

-[x][Learn] The effects of having a soul and mana on a living animal: "twice as much neural activity as a normal bird, its muscles are around twice as dense, and its vocal cords show signs of extreme strain and overuse"
-[x][Learn] magic seems to think that "Simple", "less valuable", and "lower tech level" are basically the same thing
-[x][Learn] Apparently, wood and stone, and Plant and Beast, are in some way "unstable" when forced together
