Warmth comes, and then it leaves, and then it comes again.

　　I`m making a random guess, but isn`t that like, the cycle of sunlight?

　　Hmm. Let`s go with that.

　　So, this is day, ~3ish? Not counting from my recent nap, which could have been several days for all I know in this lightless place.

　　Since the Status` told me I had a single ability, "Inherent Mana Manipultion" perhaps I should try it out?

　　No, no, no wait. It could be a trap.

　　Just think, what if I try something like manipulating fire?

　　Fire? A seed?

　　Am I the only one that thinks that might go horribly wrong?

　　 Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

　　Exactly.

　　Therefore I`m going to try something perfectly logical. Something any tree would desire.

　　Water!

　　Hah, I`m suuuuuuuuch a genius.

　　Neh, neh, tell me I`m a genius right?

　　Tsk. There`s no one else to talk to in this place though&.

　　Anyways, here goes, Experiment#3!

　　Oh? What happened to #1 and #2?

　　We don`t talk about that ever, m`kay?

　　Indeed, it`s a sacred memory that is not important at this point in time.

　　At. All.

　　On with the Experiment#4.

　　What? I seem to have skipped ahead?

　　No, no. See?

　　The new lake that`s just above me?

　　That was #3.

　　I accidentally concentrated on two things at once while talking to myself.

　　So, anyways. #4, this time instead of making a small puddle, let`s see if&.

　　I&

　　Can...

　　Health -1 due to (Frozen) debuff.

　　Health -1 due to (Frozen) debuff.

　　Oops.

　　I seem to have frozen the water around me in a sphere.
