You can learn pyrokinesis from it's spell bubble, learning Mental pyrokinesis might be tricky though.
You paint a grinning face of yourself, a simple circle and triangle shape with a tongue out and a winking eye.
It imitates you for a while and after a funny face session that ends with it looking a bit too hungry, you slice it asunder with the Oversale, just in case. -1 Elbow Grease.
The Dirtbliderator has emptied a tiny bit.
The Dirt Brush has filled a tiny bit.
Dooas is a little dryer from the experiment.
You return home unaccosted.
You decide to finally try and learn to make a sigil that can cast spells for you, you aren't sure of it will work, but you have assembled a spell that
should work. -7 Pontification points.
You go to check the Mana engines, greedily thinking of what you could do with that much mana.
About 2,000 Mana at your disposal, Beautiful, you decide to rework your system again, now you have enough mana to sustaine the Marrow Pepper farms indenfinately, Stone golems, Harvisters and planters take about 50 Of your Marrow peppers, 1000 Pounds of Stone, and 500 Mana is used in making this sustainable.
You make Armok using a mining mech, some odds and ends, and a re-purposed Bandit Brain core. the crazy one that loves you. -100 Mana, -5 Elbow Grease
You set more stomachs to grow, you feel like this is oddly easy.
You craft A Giant Ballistae, essentially A fairly basic Skeel Polybolos on a pair of skeel-coated skeleton legs. The main purpose of this object is it has equipment to cast it's own ammo from mana channeled through a small 5 pounds section of of Harkim Bronze. A mana storage and an arm allow it to reload itself continuously. It is is flesh fed via a vat grown zombie stomach kept in a chainmail hip-bag, and can just keep firing as long as it's got enough food. Finally, it has a fusion sigil/rune also powered of it's sustenance and can fuse spells form a supplied Spell Quiver with the bolts before firing them. -5 Elbow Grease, -5 Mana
Next, you get to work on converting a Corpse into a Martial Arts mummy.
Circulatroy system: Kept, with heart beating and so on. But rather than blood, it's pumpiing around a slurry of liquid Death mana, Nanobots, and Calcium mana.
The Bones are Infused with Clear Steel, turning into a Strange material, As hard as Clear steel, but iwht hte texture of Sponge, With smooth rounded portions of one and clear steel meshing together.
Muscles receive an adjective, Dense, then Miracle Serum is applied, then Cable Crusher is spliced into them, then Dense again. Together with all fat being removed, gives them sort of a classic half ripped half emacated old warrior monk apperance.
The Skin is Infused with Metal Essence, then covered with thin layer of Dark Dragon skin, then finally, leather is painted over that with a small bit of metal essence and dye and adjectives to make it look and feel like living skin.
The Brain is Infused with metal essence and Psychocite and wrapped in chainmail, then placed behind the heart where the lungs used to be in the chest to be protected, a Magitech golem core is attached to the side for handling calculations and other extra cognition.
After removing the brain, the skull cavity is given a hinge, a latch and a lock to be usable as hidden storage.
Finally, you clone another Lamia sand organ, And keep it off to the side, the organ as you remember, is inert as is for whatever reason. you leave the mummy unfinished for that reason, and will sew him up and activate him when you figure out what to do with the organ. -10 Elbow Grease, -10 Mana
Raritanium + Volatile Crystal = Humstone, This Perfectly shaped crystal is structurally sound, highly sharp, Mana makes it Shoot a converging laser out of it's exposed faces, making it look as though it is covered in spikes, the less faces are exposed, the stronger the laser beam is and the longer as well, and about 120 volts are endlessly produced from it, giving you quite the shock initially.
200 Pounds Stone Brick + 10 Pounds of Cryskeel = Weapons grade Necrotic brick. A sand-tan brick, Capable of being put to a number of military applications, from being used in it;'s default state, to being adapted to being the head of a number of blunt instruments. It destabilizes a point of impact, risking necrosis in particularly damaging blows. It's Best use however is as part of the Ancient Brick Fighting style.
You craft a Dispenser using your 3X3 Crafting sigil, a bow/arrow made from handy sinew and bone, redstone, and some raw stone boulders, You cannot seem to get it to work, though you have figured out how to put things in it. It also looks different than you would have expected, Less cracks and more Bone spikes sticking out.
You craft a lever using a clear steel rod and another boulder. Plugging this on the back of the Dispenser makes it work, and several lobbed rocks later, you feel comfortable calling this experiment a success.
Next you surround a Marrow pepper with gold bars, hoping for a Golden apple analogue, but this has no result. Maybe crafting more with it will open up more options for esoteric fusions.
-5 Mana
You are interrupted when a person crosses by, and walks into your Tunnel with little regard.
"Do you have water? and food?" he says with a vaguely Spanish accent.
He appears to be some kind of tree creature, A long gold fro' sticking out of the back of his head, and thorns covering his face, His arm has been replaced with a cybernetic one. Empty eye sockets glow with a green light.
He has a brown backpack made of some thick cloth, a sort of face mask for protection from the desert winds, and Twin double barreled shotguns at his waist, The guns have syringes stuck in their barrels, and have an extended magazine made from what look like bricks of styrofoam, finally on both of them there are Pogo-sticks duct-taped to them...
You invite him in.
Harkim comes back with fairy in tow, He hands you something.
"I got your soul shard Valerik, that rabbit guy or whatever wants to copy all of your books down for it."You practically drool at the prospect of getting your shard finally.
There is so much you could do by tying this back to you, but there are three main things you feel knowledgeable enough to do from the rush of regained conscience.
You could get back a ton of memories, any potential amount, depending on what shard this is, what you could gain from remembering your time at your peak could be immeasurable.
Finally gain a small amount of mana from being the proud owner of a fractured soul, instead of drawing it from what you consume, your power would not be born from efficient digestion of mana, but the small limitless source of the soul.
Or you could rejuvenate yourself, Making even your most grievous loss of limb fade with time. Though losing vitals would still end your life without a means of restoring or temporarily replicating them, and losing limbs would still hold the risk of bleeding you dry without some prevention.
No matter what, reattaching this piece of your soul to yourself will hold great benefits aside from this, and only a complete and utter fool would risk something as precious as one's own soul.
You come to realize that it is getting a bit sleepy around here. Nighttime has already came, and the moon rises high into the sky.
