RECORDING 13: THE FIFTH WEEK.

[foundationmods]

A fifth week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. It's practically routine at this point, isn't it?

Routine, also is the feeling when you wake up - it's clear the Miasma has gotten even thicker. Now everyone is at level 4 - barring the two 'lucky' negators among you, you are all suffering the effects, your eyes flashing a deep, dark purple when experiencing negative emotion.

Any magic that touches the house itself will corrode over time, just like last week. If a barrier is put in place and touches the floor, walls, or ceiling, in a few hours it will be completely consumed by the miasma and fizzle out. Spells or seals will also give off miasma, and healing is still reduced to even the most powerful of spells only healing minor injuries.

You will not be able to save a grievously injured person from death through spells anymore.

The Temperature has taken another dip. It's now in the 50's, and nippy to need a layer or two. As before, the rooms have changed, so hopefully you kept anything essential in the static area.

17 of your number still remain.

...What new horrors await you this week?

I should perhaps describe the process in more detail.

Once my soul gem is completely tainted with despair, or miasma in this case, it begins a process to convert me into a witch. This conversion produces a large amount of energy, which is then transferred elsewhere.

In my city, creature I spoke of co-opted the process, hijacking the connection and making it so that the energy would be transferred to it instead, and the connection would also enable it to absorb curses and despair. What would happen in response is that the soul gem is purified, and the conversion is thus canceled.

What happened here was that the conversion began, but before I could redirect the energy produced from the reaction to the witch to purify my soul gem, the conversion suddenly stopped, halfway through the process.

[ Well, he believed he now had the right of it. ]

Hm...I wonder if our enemy could have had more control over the process since it involved the movement of tainted energy.

I am afraid I cannot say either way. This is not exactly my area of expertise.
