It’s Time To Panic :saltedpog:

 

Spoiler: 1

Log 1 - Dear... Journal?
It took a lot of convincing from Kera, but Father has finally allowed her to give me a blank book! I think she intended it to be a diary of some sort, but I'm totally going to use it as a journal for documentation for my rituals. I know my parents aren't too fond of my... works, but hey, they knew what they were getting into when they let me have something to write my stuff in, so here I go!

Nobody's going to see the contents of this book, but I might as well write it as such, feels better that way! Anyways, where to start, where to start... oh, right, I finally got my Celeffitiai a few weeks ago! It's not fair being the youngest sibling out of the three of us, but I was SO excited! Kera and Tera even convinced the Celeffitiai carvers to make its design to how they thought I might like it! They obviously couldn't ask me for input since it was a surprise but THIS IS PERFECT!!! It's so black and purple and it has little horns and everything and the parts are magically designed to be taken apart and bent in so many weird places and this is the best birthday gift ever!!!

Anyways, as soon as I got it I've been spending so much time in my room experimenting with my stuff. With my very own personalized method of channelling magic I'm able to have greater control over my rituals than I had before!!! I mean, the rest of the family were kinda disapproving of my works but hey, they didn't ask me to stop so I guess it's all fine!

I spent a good part of yesterday trying to bend and twist my Celeffitiai into as many morbid angles I possibly can. I really need to tell Mother and Father to give the carvers a raise, because this thing was just BUILT for me. Well, I guess it technically was built for me but regardless! So many bends and taking-apart and this thing still looks like it hasn't even have a scratch on it! Actually, when Kera gets older I guess she will become the next princess, but still! She'll do it for me, I'm sure of it!

I'll probably use most of the logs to write down my ritual diagrams and spells and all that junk, but this is going to be the BEST journal ever!

Log 4 - Siblings (And why they are the best thing in existence)
Hi again, another word log! Wow, the past few logs sure were filled with some of the most horrifying stuff. Just kidding! They'll probably only freak my parents out (Less of the rituals themselves but more of the fact that I'm doing them, to be honest...) but boy would I love to see their faces when I 'accidentally' leave this thing out on the dinner table, haha! Man, Kera would be SO mad!

Speaking of which, I never really told you about my siblings, have I? Well, journals can't really speak... not unless I animate them myself, that is, but still! Would be great to have a reminder on the near-impossible chance I blast a memory-erasing spell on me and forget everyone and everything I ever love! Where was I? Right, siblings! Already mentioned it earlier, but I have two others, and guess what? They got their Celeffitiai ages ago becuase they were older than me! Can you believe that? Curse the perfectly logical system of handing an object of high responsibility to every child at the exact same age!!!

If I paid attention to my lessons correctly, the way the royal family kinda works is that if the rulers have more than one child apparently only one is chosen to be the future ruler? Kera was decided to be the next princess some time ago but me and Tera are perfectly fine with that, I don't really have any desire to rule an entire kingdom and I think Tera wants to travel out a lot more whenever they grow older. Kera's older than me and younger than Tera, which makes it kinda weird that she was chosen but I don't really question my parents' decision on that that much, doesn't really bother me anyway. I think Tera specifically told the two of them that they didn't want to become the next ruler so the choice naturally went to her. Now that I think about it that kinda makes a lot of sense.

I keep getting sidetracked!!! Kera's my sister, in case you (as an inanimate stack of paper) hasn't figured that out already. I can tell she cares for me a lot, she always comes in and check on me and makes sure I don't accidentally off myself by summoning Bel'gor for the fifth time or something. I told her I'll be fiiine, Bel'gor doesn't seem to like me but for some otherworldly demon snake thing he's a really good singer. To be honest my death would be worth it with that incredible singing of his. Kera also takes me to that favorite ice cream place down the street from the palace gates every few days even if Father doesn't want me to so that's pretty great as well.

Bit of a divergence here, but she keeps asking me to stop calling her 'Kera' (and sometimes 'Kiki') and call her by her actual name. But where's the fun in that? Calling your siblings by their last syllable and adding an "A" to the end sounds way better! Besides, she calls me 'Mera' from time to time so she's kinda guilty as well. Kidding, love ya, Kera and Tera!

Anyways, this ritual journal is starting to feel like a diary, so I'm going to stop the info dump there. Until next time!

Log 92735 - EMPTY
I've been walking around for a while now, the entire space appears to be a collection of floating islands, although they are all a strange shade of purple. The trees are pale and colorless... where have I gotten myself into?



Mother never really wanted us to ask her what the elders built the palace over... it didn't look like there was anything below. But now that I am here I regret not finding it out sooner if I had more knowledge I might have been able to leave.

Now I have to find my way back home before I completely lose my mind to this maddening world... I feel a strong sense of emptiness here and I am starting to hallucinate more and more the longer I'm trapped.

Father and my eldest sibling have always told me stories about the ground beyond our world... thousands of people who built up civilizations and worship the gods of the realms beyond them... I always wished I could visit them someday.

What am I talking about this is the land I have visited this is not a hallucination this is real this is real this is real this is real this is real not hallucination I am with people it's real it's real it's real it's real it's real it's real it's real it's real IT'S REAL IT'S REAL

Log 10 - Fantastic Celeffitiai and how to use them
It hasn't been too long since I got this thing but I can barely let go of it during the day by now. I have no idea how people live without a Celeffitiai this thing is AMAZING. I would bond my soul to this thing if I knew how to. Actually, come to think of it...

Eh, something to research for another day, I can use this log as a memo. Anyways, the people who made this thing really knew their stuff. I never really appreciated them until I got mine, and now I fully regret not doing so years ago.

The thing has been called 'dark' and 'scary' by some of the kids outside the palace, but they're way younger than me so I don't expect them to see the sheer, shimmering magnificence that is my Celeffitiai. It's designed perfectly to match me, and they did a great job with it! So did my siblings, actually. Kera's is golden with a bunch of encrusted jewels all over, which she claims is less of her wanting riches when she gets older and more of her liking the glowing, flickering sparkles when she first got it at my age. And after seeing how shiny the thing is? I totally believe her. And Tera's? They got their Celeffitiai made shortly after I was born, and guess what they requested? In place of a Celeffitiai head, it instead has three large eye-like gemstones, each one colored to match the three of us. THAT'S SO SWEET OF THEM! Kera clearly also loved it as well, and when Tera's not using their Celeffitiai back then she would enter their room and stare at the glittering stones for hours.

In other news, I was recently able to use my Celeffitiai's head to siphon otherworldly energy! The ritual was a little harder than I thought, but I eventually managed to take a bunch of eldritch magic from a nearby realm in order to fuel this thing. From now on I'll be able to use the stored energy for my stuff instead of having to gather a bunch every time I need it! This is going to make things SO much easier!

Me and Tera seemed to have a pretty great time with our Celeffitiai back when we first got it, but Kera? She had a little bit of... trouble, at first. A bunch of her spells kept poofing or not working at all, and when some of the bigger ones did work, she often... panicked. Tera and our parents helped her through the process and I was there for emotional support though, so everything turned out alright for her! She may have panicked a lot, but I will master the art of Celeffitiai and become the best Celeffitiai user in the world! Soon enough, I will be the one making my enemies panic!!!

Log 17 - Cool spells
Okay so I have been experimenting more with my Celeffitiai and it turns out that jamming it with eldritch energies lets me do strange things that I wasn't able to do before. First of, the capacity of this thing is incredible - it took several rituals to fill this thing up and even then the magic could last for an incomprehensibly long amount of time. Give me a few weeks to figure out how to have the thing draw energy on its own and it'll be unstoppable! But until then, I've discovered some other neat quirks.

When charged at high capacity, I am able to generate blasts of energy out from my Celeffitiai. And it's not just ordinary explosions - they don't do much damage to any infrastructure, but it's able to moderately hurt anything living that comes near, which seems to be good enough of a start. And what's great, is that this doesn't even hurt me or the Celeffitiai! It's like the both of us are unaffected by the explosion!

To be honest, I figured that this 'attack' must be connected to some explosion spell of some kind, but looking at a couple of books in the royal library doesn't yield too much on the subject in terms of Celeffitiai usage. Then again, no one in our family has delved this deep into the occult before. But can you blame them? It seems like I'm the only one in this kingdom obsessed with harnessing dark magic and communicating with cool otherworldly demons, and look at me! Not only did I turn out fine, but I'm also discovering new forms of magic we can use! If I put more research into this branch, I'll be able to find things that help all of us! Our family, our kingdom!

Speaking of new spells, my Celeffitiai apparently has some strange affinity with water - we don't get much natural pure water up in the palace asides from the infused ones that we drink, and the celestial sea down the kingdom is too potently magical for my experiments, so I decided that I needed to get some from the Physical Plane itself! I'm obviously still not allowed to leave yet, so I begged Tera to get some for me the next time they make the trip there. Luckily enough, they were planning to head down to one of the big continents a few days later, and guess what?! They got me a clean, giant tank of the stuff! Thanks, Tera!

A quick spell or two later, and I was right! My Celeffitiai does control liquids, and surprisingly well! It somehow sucks up all the water and I'm able to unleash waves of it in bursts! What's more, I've been taking a close look and I might theoretically be able to convert the eldritch energy stored within it to some viscous liquid as well! Not sure what I'll do with that but hey, could be useful! I can use it as ink if I ever run out of normal ones!

I don't actually know where it stores all that water yet, but that is something I intend to find out over the next few days, nothing a little bit of tinkering and questions to the carvers can't bring out to light. After I clean up my room, that is. My sister's going to be livid if she comes in with all the furniture wet, haha!

Once I figure out this exploding and water stuff I'm going to be writing all of it down in the next few diagram logs, just imagine what these things can do when I can fully control them!

Log 24 - Transfiguration with my Celeffitiai! - Part 1
The ability to bend my Celeffitiai into any shape I want is still one of the functions that has fascinated me. I was initially apprehensive to do it too much in fear of breaking my Celeffitiai, but the more I try the more it's clear that it wasn't going to break anytime soon. I'm pretty sure this thing won't even have a scratch on it if I punch it like a million and a half times, it's practically indestructible! Well, the physical object may be nigh-unbreakable, but not the magic within. Large amounts of physical trauma kinda 'beats' the magic out of it, results in me needing to refill its energy and recast a lot of the minor quality-of-life spells I put on it. Although, it does mean that if my Celeffitiai becomes too crazy hitting it a bunch does calm it down, so that's a neat little failsafe if everything else goes badly.

Anyways, Tera has been telling me so many stories about the people who live down in the world outside of ours. Apparently these 'humans' are almost like us, with two sets of arms and legs, although they don't have purple skin and orange horns so their heads look oddly empty without them. Some of them have cool hair, though, from what I've seen in the books. And the weapons they use - it's like the ones the royal celestial guard have, but... way less advanced! It's so interesting to see how they still get by with their lives with inferior weaponry!

With me discovering defensive magical spells using my Celeffitiai, I figured that I'd try to imitate the weapons that both groups use for their battle, with the four most common ones.

First off, the spear! A long and deadly weapon, used for stabbing enemies from further away! Or, well, for bashing the ground, from what I've read these humans do. These people are so weird! Regardless, I set to work. With my Celeffitiai being the most magically potent, what suitable position it would be in than the head of the spear itself? I first sharpened its handle so that it has a really pointy tip like the other spearheads (Even if my weapon is used for magic more than for actual stabbing...) and also borrowed one of the unused spear poles from the barracks to insert it at the top of my Celeffitiai's head!



Assuming I didn't accidentally animate it through some magic during my rituals, don't worry, the insertion process was as gentle as possible so the hole on its head isn't painful to it... hopefully. Lastly, since the handle is now dipping into the eldritch energy stored inside the head I decided to minorly supercharge said energy so that it spreads along the length of the spear's handle. I made sure that it doesn't flow through the parts I hold, but small sparks and electricity bolts appear between the Celeffitiai and the handle now, which looks so cool!

I'll take a look at transfiguring my Celeffitiai into other weapons in the future, but for now, I'm thinking that I want to try my hand at the art of spear-fighting! I wonder if the guards would let me spar with them whenever they're off-duty...

Log 92738 - COLORLESS
I feel quite a bit better after a rest, but my mind is still wavering slightly... the town does look a little bit... fake. Must be my warped sight from just waking up

The gemstones and crystals my magic has seeped themselves in are a dark purple, I suppose that is what happens if I spend too much time trying to harness dark magic from realms beyond the palace



The eldritch energies within the Celeffitiai have also begun spreading to any light source in the vicinity. That includes fire and lamps. I mean, the alternative is that the magic is creating those lights on their own, but that would mean the light weren't here before... the lights, the town, it's all real... I'm sure of it...



Everything else is weirdly devoid of color... the wood, the trees outside of the town and the buildings the people built... they appear to have the color sucked out of them. This is strange I had no idea the physical world looked like this

Log 29 - Spear Magic
So much has happened ever since my last written log - I just couldn't resist! I had to fill the last few pages with all of my new discoveries that I'm finding about my new weapon! Or, well, not-new-yet-still-new weapon. Anyways, my Celeffitiai-made-spear has been incredible so far, I experiemented with its new form and it turns out that its thin, spindly and slightly more aerodynamic state lets me unleash spells that I've never been able to achieve with a held artifact! Or, well, achieve to this level.

Father was a little bit apprehensive about my newfound discoveries and was doubtful of whether I should proceed, with how dangerous he saw my works as. Mother was more encouraging though, and after some discussion the both of them sent Kera to watch over me while I test out my Celeffitiai with a few of the royal guards! Anyways, I've reassured the both of them, I'll even wear a helmet for safety! One I specially made for myself using my very own Celeffitiai's likeness. It looks awesome on me, and what's more, it's just nearly as indestructible as my Celeffitiai (albeit a less protective material in nature)! It kinda darkens my facial features (except the glowy bits being my eyes and horns), but I'm going to wear this as a battle helmet from now on!



It has been a couple of days since then, and like I said earlier, I have documented a lot of my findings in the past few pages! Here's a quick summary in case this journal gets bored of reading its own diagram contents:

First off, the tip of the spear may have been made for show, but it turns out that its long yet sharp form is a perfect shape for dealing with anything from a distance! While my Celeffitiai's original state can fire short bursts of water as a minor defence, this doesn't require any magic, just physical strength! And, with the nigh-indestructible nature of the spear, it doesn't break at all! Can't say the same about the guard's spears, though... however, they did seem happy that I offered to spar with them, I could tell they were enjoying themselves fighting someone who they consider to be a challenge, even with my severe lack of experience using a spear. I guess the combination of my eldritch magic made up for it! After this I am going to look into other sharp forms I can turn my Celeffitiai into...

Another thing I found, was the ability to use my Celeffitiai to generate protective forcefields around me! It happened on accident during one of my matches with the royal guard, and I'm glad it did as well, otherwise I might have gotten seriously hurt! The shields appear to resemble the purple gemstone core on my Celeffitiai, which is quite peculiar... further tests using the non-spear version of my Celeffitiai granted no results, however. Seems like it only works when in spear form, and I am determined to get to the bottom of why!



Speaking of accidental magic, another weird thing happened just a couple days ago! I was in the middle of integrating more of my eldritch magic to my spear-fighting just as I had done previously, when my sister stopped me. She was overlooking the whole thing like she had promised, but she hadn't really intefered until then. I was trying to summon a bunch of my mini all-seeing eyes that allowed me to expand my range of sight beyond what is physically possible, but Kera must have freaked out when she saw all of the eyes in a dull gray rather than vibrant red. She walked towards me and tried to get me to stop then. The eyes weren't letting me see for some reason, and I get that she was concerned, but this was a new discovery! While she argued with me, I think I got a bit too mad at her, and I soon noticed that a bunch of the eyes were returning to their reddish glow!

I still can't see through them while my Celeffitiai is in spear-form, but I had discovered something new - the angrier I get, the brighter they glow! And the brighter they glow, it appears that my magical potency strengthens! It looks like while my all-seeing eyes are active, I am able to deal more destructive damage to anything I direct my powers at. It seems to be directly connected with rage and blind fury, which might have explained why it activated when I suffered a minor injury another time after the incident. I'll have to look more into this, I could use it to my advantage!



These few days have been fun, and I feel like I am really getting the hang of it! With enough training, I feel like my skills using this thing would reach that of the guards' in no time! Speaking of which, I have heard stories from Tera about a human in the physical plane who mastered many different weapons... and I think I know what to go for next!

Log 92739 - INFERNO

Log 32 - Transfiguration with my Celeffitiai! - Part 2
My experience with my spear-shaped-Celeffitiai has made me wonder what other weapon I can assemble it into next. After some thought, I had decided to pick a weapon which was related to a Celeffitiai the closest. A wand! A weapon that mainly focuses on magic just like the ones that our kind uses. I just needed to figure out how to pull it off.

The form will be similar to the spear, of course, as I can fashion my Celeffitiai into a staff of some sort. The thin handle of the spear couldn't be used for one that demands a much more stable structure in order to channel great amounts of magic, so I had to borrow a spare handle from one of the kingdom's grand mages. As for the Celeffitiai itself, I had an idea. I wanted the staff to be as magically potent as I could possibly make it, so after inserting the Celeffitiai to the top of the staff handle, I pulled off an unorthodox practice of lighting the entire object with its own magic. This is something normally done to the head of the Celeffitiai whenever a spell is casted, but since I didn't need to hold the handle of the Celeffitiai, I could wield this magically-charged artifact without any worries that I'll be overwhelmed by the sheer energy from the staff tip! It's genius!



The moment I held the staff, I could already see and feel the eldritch magic swirling around the Celeffitiai atop the staff handle. It has never been this souped up before! I must test this out, I have never been able to wield magic this great before!

I, of course, just had to showcase my findings to my family. Surprisingly enough, they were impressed! Well, they always have been mildly impressed at what I've been capable of doing (Both in prowess and the nerve, I suppose...) but this time they actually seem interested in finding out more of what I could do with such a discovery! Although, the fact that this was was powerful as it was greatly concerned them regardless. I reassured them of course, after all, I have gotten this far in my research and experimentation, have I? The only sensible direction to go now is even higher!

Log 34 - The wand chooses the... celestial?
Heheh, sorry, reference from one of the fictional books Tera lent to me. Those humans have such funny stories! Then again, an inanimate book probably won't understand a lick of what I'm saying...

Anyways! Huge progress, so much that I can't even begin to describe how much I've discovered! The unique design of my supercharged Celeffitiai accompanied with an external pole handle both for channelling and safety allowed for incredible new spells and magic that I wasn't originally capable of pulling off before!

First off, I noticed that I could summon blasts of eldritch energy bigger than usual, which resulted in said energy coalescing into large balls of red fiery magic! Using a similar process that I had done to create my helmet, I can now consistenly summon the giant fireballs encased in a manifestation of the helmet that both me and my Celeffitiai's head donned! Substantially less physical than the two, technically, but still enough to act as a focus for keeping all the magic in one collective form and to cause serious additional physical damage to whatever I blast it at! I'm going to love using this as soon as I manage to find a location outside of the palace to use its destructive capabilities on!



Speaking of fiery magic, I can also unleash the eldritch energies from within my Celeffitiai in another form! It turns out that the increased power that the staff structure offers allows me to shape and lead the fire along the ground, sending waves of red flames ahead of me! I reckon that if I were to research this new technique further, I could possibly send out multiple at the same time! What's more, the eldritch nature of the walls of fire are just corporeal enough to latch onto the legs of anyone I target this on. While only temporarily since the flames kind of disappear after a quick second or so, if refined I could theoretically cast powerful enough busts of energy that could possibly halt enemies in place! Now isn't that a useful tool to have in battle!



The possibilities of this form of the Celeffitiai are endless, and I am eager to find out everything I can about the staff in order to use it to its full capacity! Speaking of forms, I'll also need to create some spell that would allow me to easily shape the Celeffitiai into the different states that I want it to turn into, otherwise it's going to take quite a bit to manually shift the parts of the thing around using my usual magic.



...oh, and also to find a better space to train than the barracks. ...I'll... pay for the damages in the courtyard, Kera, I promise.

While trying to prepare to travel across the empty expanse that is the sea of gray goo, I appeared to have fallen off a relatively sharp ledge by accident and injured myself greatly.

Log 40 - Transfiguration with my Celeffitiai! - Part 3
Another day (or week), another Celeffitiai form to experiment! This time, I chose one that caught my eye - a bow! Humans, like our royal guard, use bows for combat and hunting purposes, although theirs' are a rather primitive version - they use strings and arrows rather than technologically and magically-powered devices like ours! Nonetheless, the simple concept of firing a projectile via an elastic material greatly interested me.

And after a bit of thinking, I finally figured it out! In order to shape my Celeffitiai to resemble said weapon, I took the wings of my Celeffitiai (not that it flies on its own, anyway) and bent them downwards in order for the entire weapon to look like the curved shape of a bow! I had to slightly enlarge the wings, of course, and man, was that difficult to do! Enlarging simple objects isn't too much of a hassle, but to a highly magically-potent near-indestructible artifact? That takes SKILL! I was SO showing my masterpiece to the rest of the family when I was done!



Through some quick testing I noticed that the weapon would be so much more efficient if the inside of the Celeffitiai's main structure were to assist any projectiles that I fire from the thing - so I carved out a tube from the bottom of the handle all the way through the body and to the very top of the head! Again, I hope the Celeffitiai doesn't feel pain, but if it does, I'm probably going to be the first one targeted in a theoretical future animated-rebelling-Celeffitiai war. I'll just have to assure it that I can actually patch up the holes whenever I change it back into its default form, though!

Speaking of which, the way I created the string was GENIUS - I magically connected the eldritch energy that the orbs at the two ends of my Celeffitiai's wings give out, creating a long string across them! Its wings have magic flowing through them like the rest of the object so that wasn't too hard to do. In fact, the orbs that the wings house serve as mini-catalysts during heavy duty spell-casting, so the "string" turned out to be even more stable than I thought!

And, get this, this is the real genius behind the design - the string is still ultimately composed of the Celeffitiai's own magic, and therefore not technically physical. While I do need to use a small amount of my own magic to safely hold and pull back the surprisingly flexible thread of energy, This means that anyone who doesn't know the principle behind this move or isn't magically potent enough would have their hands incinerated by the bow's string, rendering the weapon to them UNUSABLE! Do you see how great this is?! It's a weapon that only I can use!

I'll be exploring the brand new quirks and powers a Celeffitiai of a shape and structure this unique is able to offer, and I'll be sure to document all of it in this journal over the next few days! Get ready to see a whole load of diagrams, sketches and charts, inanimate book!

I have been in this strange land for a good while now... and for some reason I have no felt but even a bit of hunger since I have fallen.

I tried looking for food in the towns, but everything seemed to be either rotten or inedible. I tried going outside to the fields, but...



It appears to be too late, it appears that my magic and influence just by being here has infected the flora themselves. At least, I think it did, they all seemed to be like this the moment I arrived...

I tried tearing out some, I doubt I could make any use of the fruit...

Log 56 - Arrows, traps and funny hats
...the title was technically a lie, it's less of a hat and more of a headband. I just worded it that way so it had a nice rhyming-ring to it. Sorry, book. Haha!

Regardless, WOW, that was a lot of pages of just pure data! I have never drawn so many diagrams in my life! Then again, some of the previous logs were filled with cool sketches of me firing the Celeffitiai-bow, but... details, details!

First off, the bow itself! I have perfected the basic function of it - a simple tug backwards is now enough to generate energy from the thread pulled and have it gather at the location of said tug. Once the thread is let go of, the connection is no longer interrupted, and the condensed energy gathered at the pull SHOOTS forwards with the force of a thousand celestials! I even managed to make the projectile that's shot out into the shape of an actual arrow!

Using a little bit of my other magical specialities, I am able to do a little trick that I dubbed "The Rain of Terror". I probably won't go into detail, but it basically involves a special move that my fingers twist themselves into while I end a little bit of my laternt magical charge through them - this results in the energy gathered fragmenting into many different pieces within the same area. And guess that happens when I pull? ALL of them turn into fiery red arrows and spread across the entire area in front of me! It is actually raining arrows!



That's not all, however. I decided that it was time that I finally incorporated a couple of other branches of magic into my eldritch works! For instance, this funny little magically-constructed contraption that I created when I was younger whcih I called a "Shimmersnare"! Well, the first part was mostly to fuel my younger self's tendency in plastering his prescence on everything he created, but the name stuck. In fact, I've mastered the art of creating the snares so well that I can pretty much generate them by just thinking about it now!

While I am able to create them in a small space around by general position, I naturally experimented with the idea of condensing such a spell into the thread of the bow, so that I am able to create a snare at a further distance!



However, this method seemed to create a side-effect of sorts... instead of trapping and freezing foes in place like how it usually does, it appears that the force and energetic charge of the bow may have been a bit too forceful for something like a snare... the traps shot from the bow have this weird glow around them now! They were clearly chock-full of violent, contained eldritch energy. And it turns out my guesses from my observations were correct, they violently exploded in a burst of magic the moment they were activated! I guess they're now less of a pacifistic trap and more of an actual trap, Heheh...

In other news, I started to realize that my sister watching over me train and experiment all of the time must be really boring for her. I couldn't exactly ask my parents to allow me to work on my weapons stuff unsupervised, and I couldn't ask for anyone better asides from Kera watching over me, so switching is out of the question as well... so I did the next best thing - asking her if she wants to join in the fun!

She was a little bit doubtful at first, but I already had an idea on how to incorporate her magic into this. One of her specialities is flora - I know her to grow these really cool glowing bulb plants with bright orange stalks, she has gotten so good at doing it subconsciously I bet she could even manage it even if she's buried dead in the ground. Giant glowy bulbs would be sprouting all over the place! Actually, that's a bit morbid, let's not think about that... anyways! I decided to pursue this concept of traps - by having Kera's magic infused into the Celeffitiai's arrows to create vines that cling onto enemies and slow them down! Well, it's less of her own magic and more of her teaching that simple technique to me... but hey, she's still technically participating in this. She seemed to have fun doing the bow stuff with me, it's almost like we were both kids again!



What else, what else... ah, right, I decided to have a little bit more fun with by Celeffitiai-bow, and I thought to myself - what's better than having a bow? The answer is simple - even more bows!!!



That's right! I've used the concept of creating snares using pure energy alone, and applied it to forming other things - such as perfect replicas of the bow itself! They don't really fire shots as powerful given that I'm not directly channeling my magic on the arrows they shoot, but still! It's funny to see so many of them floating around me! It's like my own little army!

On a different topic than the bows, I figured I should write something else in this journal. A couple days ago I was cleaning out some of my old storage when I found a headband! And not just any headband, it was one with a replica of my horns that anyone can put on and wear! Well, anyone except for people who already have horns... which, applies to pretty much every celestial in this kingdom... but still! When I was still really young, my horns haven't grown out to the ones I have today! I was really jealous of Kera and Tera's horns, with Kera's in the middle of growing and Tera's fully matured by then. So, the both of them decided to surprise me with my very own pair of false-horns until mine grow out! The horn-related biology of our species was already pretty-well understood, so the shape and direction of my horns were able to be predicted before they even grew into a mature state! I was so happy when I got them, I wore them all around the palace every day! Looking at them now, the horns on the headband really were accurate down to the gradient!



Speaking of gradient, I wonder why my own horns are slightly darker in complexion than they were before. In fact, I've been noticing a little tinge of purple across the entire thing a couple of months into my ritual-making. I might need to look into this...

Log 78 - Transfiguration with my Celeffitiai! - Part 4
The past few weeks have been a blast so far, so many new discoveries I have found with my Celeffitiai while shaping it into so many new forms. The next one that I have decided to turn my Celeffitiai into doesn't take as much effort as the others in terms of physical transformation, but still ingenious nonetheless - a sword!

A sword is one of the most common forms of weapons used by human soldiers down in their world, and one that I have yet to explore the use of myself. I had first experimented with the idea of having an eldritch-manifested crystal frozen directly from my Celeffitiai's magical energies, but it proved to be too brittle and ineffective as a point of attack. After many days of trial and error and playing around, however, I believe that I have found the ultimate method for creating a Celeffitiai-sword.



By carving out a long and narrow slit at the top of my Celeffitiai's head, I was able to make a small opening where the blade can emerge out of. And once that was done, I came up with the best way of creating a blade - by igniting the (somewhat) dormant energy within its container!

Now, if I told my sister that I would be doing this she would absolutely freak out and how dangerous igniting a Celeffitiai's core is... so I decided to do it before I told her! And it worked great! Well, probably not for Kera's heart for the next few minutes, but hey! It worked!

The magic within the Celeffitiai burst out of every orifice in a rush of searing flares once I had activated the eldritch energies within, which resulted in a near-endless fountain of flames firing out of the top of the Celeffitiai's head! It could cut through almost anything with ease! It's not just a sword, it's essentially a flamethrower!!!

Of course, I had a failsafe in case everything went wrong (See, I told you I would be fine, Kera!) and used it to quickly calm the energy within the weapon. Speaking of quick, I had also begun practicing transfiguration spells in order to switch between my Celeffitiai's different forms relatively quickly! Thankfully, it's an easy spell to master given the Celeffitiai's design to naturally be able to be physically transformed, so I bet I will be able to perform it subconsciously given enough training! Everything is looking up for me so far, I can't wait to show my findings to my entire family! Once I get the hang of all of my Celeffitiai's different forms I will be on the path to becoming one of the coolest (especially at my young age!) descendants in our royal family's ancestral line!

Log 97 - Transfiguration with my Celeffitiai! - Part 5
Guess what?! This is the best day of my entire life!!! Tera had a talk with Mother and Father and they have finally agreed to let them bring me along to the world of the humans! This is amazing!

The both of us traveled to two different continents, visiting a province near each of their shores. I would tell you all about my adventures there, but Tera told me that us celestials aren't really supposed to interfere with the lives of the people living there. I guess that is fair, I would be spooked out if some deity or something descended upon our homes wanting something.

While traveling around in disguises, I noticed a bunch of mines that were opened up and not being occupied by anyone. A large site, in particular, somewhere along the south of one of the provinces we visited. I wanted to take a look at what was within, but my sibling pulled me back hastily. I don't know what's inside of those abandoned mines, but whatever it was, Tera clearly did not want me to enter. I was still curious, though! Right before they led me away, I could sense the ever-faint presence of dark magic coming from behind the rock. I am so curious! I'm going to go there one day, wherever that place is!

But anyways, the mines got me thinking. A bunch of humans I've seen have been going around gathering resources from the land's natural terrain and plant life. They use tools like axes and rods and gather stuff like fish, wood and valuable gemstones. To use for their own daily necessities, probably. But being the creative and enthusiastic (and admittedly, a little bit bored and almost out of ideas) celestial that I was, I went back to Cesta with an idea. One that involves...



Surprise!!! Not a weapon this time. Out of a random spark within my mind, I decided to create spells to transfigure my Celeffitiai into a variety of tools for gathering, just for fun! I doubt I'll ever need to change it into them ever again, but hey, they're a good set of tools to keep around! My Celeffitiai is practically a multitool now!

At least if I ever find myself in the statistically improbable situation of needing to chop down a tree, or break myself free out of rubble, or to get some food from plants or aquatic life because I'm starving for some reason, I'll have the right spells to use at my disposal!

Oh, it's just down the street, next to the- ah, wait, I forgot I'm writing in an inanimate object. Which... doesn't know what I'm talking about in the first place.

On hindsight, it was kinda stupid to name my summoning square the "Shadow Realm", but hey, I only have several-years-younger me to blame! Wow, I was such a weird kid back then.

Anyways, it's the spot where I practice anything related to summoning... as the name implies. It's in a small structure of sorts built along the outskirts of the kingdom near the palace since this type of magic tends to be a bit more dangerous than most, with all the funny demons being brought to my square. So far, no causalities or major incidents yet, so I count that as an absolute win!



Ever since I was a kid, I've been experimenting with my magic in order to form manifestations of real creatures completely made out of my own dark magic! All of them pretty much have this misty black appearance to them, but that's just the byproduct of a combination of the spell's eldritch nature and my inexperience. Still, I do a pretty good job! My siblings say that the glowy red eyes they have are slightly disturbing, but I'd say that my Celeffitiai's magic within its head coalesces itself into a giant red eye anyway!

Speaking of which, I should really get to renaming this building. I can't stand another comment on being too "edgy".

It has been a few years since I got this book, and thousands of logs have filled its empty space. The journal's blank pages are dwindling fast, I doubt it goes past eight thousand. I'll have to look into getting another one in the near future.

More updates on the current branch of dark magic. I had established connection with an elusive scholar from the Twisted Expanse's Black Desert in order to borrow his Derninomicon to assist in this upcoming ritual. Unfortunately, I was refused. I will have to find some other source for overcoming this particular hurdle.

My siblings are doing well. Fli- Kera is paranoid as always. I have assured her that while this ritual is dangerous, all of the safety precautions have been accounted for and taken care of beforehand.

Celeffitiai appears to be in stable condition. Had it brought to the royal priests for a quick check-up a day ago, it appears that the recently-observed latent waves of panic-inducing energies are directly caused by my own. I was not aware of this, I will need to look into ways to calm my subconscious.

The ritual begins soon, Kera and Tera insisted that they and a few other mages keep watch while I perform this act. As such, it will take place within the palace. To ensure maximum open space, it will be held along a balcony near the throne room. While the balcony directly leads down into the empty void below, a region this entire kingdom is built over, The structural integrity of the balcony is still safe enough for several people. Should the magic within the ritual go awry, however, I will have to hope that the supports are strong enough to hold until the end of the ceremony.

For progress on my potentially limitless magical discoveries, this is a big enough risk I am willing to take.

Spoiler: DARK MAGIC ACCIDENT AT ROYAL PALACE

Citizens of Cesta and Royal Members alike were shocked to hear about yesterday's incident, when the prince of the Royal Cosmonia family fell out of the kingdom while performing one of his frequent dark practices.

There are no other casualties, and a special search team had since been employed to scour the empty layer below for any sign of life.

From research and experimentation done years prior, the hazardous nature of the void along with the combination of discarded celestial magic waste and the prince's very own dark magic is known to accelerate the destruction of any matter that exists within it for a prolonged amount of time. Officials and the royal family were forced to cease the search of the prince after a few days.

Both the fallen and his Celeffitiai were knocked off during the incident that wrecked half of the palace's infrastructure. Paired with current knowledge of the location they fell into, both of them are considered irretrievable and impossible to recover.

On the off-chance that the void's unpredictable and untrackable winds take the Celeffitiai to some other region of the multiverse, it might be possible to rediscover its eventual location of rest.

Damages to the palace may take several weeks to repair. More information about the deceased's funeral and mortuary services are provided in the next page after th...

Spoiler: ATTACK ON KINGDOM LEAVES HUNDREDS DEAD - PRINCESS FALLEN

A tragedy struck the kingdom of Cesta just yesterday, when an outside threat laid siege on the entire city, the palace suffering the most damage.

The figure was fully cloaked and hidden, and had the ability to fly at high speeds. They caused mass destruction of countless buildings using a large, long weapon of unrecognizable shape, most of the damage explosion-based.

After wreaking havoc across Cesta, the path of destruction brought them to the very steps of the palace, where the individual effortlessly tore through the royal guard and towards the throne room.

Reports of the princess' own Celeffitiai magic has been made and observed, along with the commotion at the balcony of the throne room ending with the ruler-to-be jumping into the void of her own accord.

As citizens mourn the loss of their families and friends who have perished from the attack, officials investigate the kingdom's defences, along with the identity of the mysterious individual who destroyed more than 30% of the kingdom during their attack.

While the same can be said for the death of the upcoming ruler, officials are still puzzled as to the princess' true intentions of falling to her own demise. Investigations are going underway as the entire kingdom takes its first steps towards a long, painful and gruesome recovery.

Spoiler: LAST HEIR OF ROYAL CELESTIAL FAMILY MISSING

The new ruler-to-be of the Cesta Kingdom has been reported to be missing after one of their planned trips out of the kingdom resulted in prolonged absence.

Once declared missing, communication could not be established with the royal in question, and searching where they had last stated to have travelled to also yielded no results.

The royal's final expeditions outside of Cesta involved locations where access to the space between worlds appeared to be prevalent and easy to study. What the royal might have been searching for is currently unknown, but some speculate that they might have been looking for clues relating to their two siblings, both previously killed by falling into the abyss themselves.

While unconfirmed, yet not without merit, many have theorized that there had indeed been an accident which led to the eldest child of the Cosmonia family to plummet into the abyss, just like their two late siblings.

While the search is still ongoing and investigations are still underway, many have considered this to have been fate playing a cruel hand on the royal family of Cesta due to the peculiar pattern and unique circumstances of their deaths.

Officials are currently discussing possible candidates for the future ruling of the kingdom in light of this sudde...
