Chapter 1.3 - There was an easier way?!
Edited by: Myself
So to begin with I guess I should try to get an understanding of what everything in my status screen means/represents even though its mostly self-explanatory. Although just relying on my own bias could potentially get me killed here so i'm just going to ask the blue boxes for an explanation, take it away blue boxes!
Well thats helpful. As expected a lot of it was self explanatory like HP and MP however its good to know what exactly traits and affinity were as they could have had a multitude of meanings, also is Dungeon Name making fun of me or something? All of those can relate to me and sound insulting. The effects of my skills seem pretty self explanatory and the traits explain what they do on the page so I suppose that means only the titles are left, is it possible to find out their effect Bl- actually i should probably come up with a better name than blue boxes shouldn't I? For now i'll refer to them as... uh... I honestly can't think of anything, all that comes to mind are names like "Info" and "Blue". I give up, from now on I shall refer to the boxes as Francine because I can not think of anything better! Now Francine tell me the title effects.
Wow the Chromatic Dungeon and Dungeon of Grey achievements are really good, Overachiever also helps but not as much. With that I understand what's going on now. Well then Francine can we move onto the next tutorial?
No reward? How cheap.
Final challenge huh? Well then I should probably start with the normal routine of concentrating on stuff till it works. So for now i'm going to concentrate on some of the dirt surrounding me and upon doing so I notice that it is very... dirt-like. It's completely ordinary dirt. However on closer inspection I notice that what constitutes an ordinary piece of dirt here is different to back on earth, for starters I can see the mana flowing through it and im going to guess that it has some sort of relation to turning the matter into mana so im going to concentrate on that for now. It seems like the mana is almost tied together, kind of like strings or a ribbon so maybe of I pull at the metaphorical ribbon it will turn into mana? Not like I have any other ideas on what to do... although how do I tug at the strings? Well maybe the answer lies in my skills? If I recall correctly I got the mana manipulation skill from messing with the mana in my core so I guess I should try doing the same thing as then, mould dough with metaphorical hands, and surprisingly it works albeit ineffciently after all I am trying to mold strings as if they were dough. After a long amount of prodding and pulling with my imaginary limbs I finally manage to untangle the strings and suddenly as if it was never there a small amount of dirt dissapears like it was never there.
I assume from the notifications that I got the desired result?.. What not going to confirm it Francine? Well nevermind, it's time to turn mana into matter!..

Or so I said but it's now what I assume to be an hour later and I still have no clue what to do. I've tried analyzing the grass, the dirt, the sky, the air, the pillar, the orb, hell i've analyzed the sun! But I still can't turn mana into matter. I'm beginning to think this is going to either have a stupidly difficult or stupidly obvious solution in order to fix this. Well lets look back at everything i've done so far and look for clues there. I looked around me and gained the ability to look around in the 1st tutorial and those probably won't have an impact on how to create matter so I can ignore them, I only learned how to use the status screen in 3 so its not that either, so all that's left is tutorial 2... Maybe I should try looking at the mana in my core then? And unsuprisingly upon looking in my core I found the patterns of mana strings that were used for the dirt, or more acurately a model of them. For now let's try making a copy of these mana strings using the mana goo in my core. So I began attempting to mold the goo into strings and found it to be incredibly difficult, the goo that would previously bend to my will was attempting to resist being turned into a new form, it felt like trying to swim in a pile of sludge. After an hour of frustration and extensive concentration I had finally managed to replicate the strings and so I placed them outside my core and suddenly dirt appeared. Mission Complete I guess?
...There was an easier way?!
