You begin carrying out several tests varying from the creation of a new golem to testing the mana accumulation of lead almost immediately hoping to get them out of the way to dedicate more time on the more consuming projects you have in mind. Your attempt at creating a new golem by inscribing a new line onto a different made golem ends in an explosion as you watch the winged, tiny golem slowly fill with mana over the course of a year before it simply can't take in any more thus exploding into shards of rock. Next you contemplate recreating the circumstances that led to mana iron on lead before realizing the circumstances was a continuous influx of mana for likely hundreds of years, and yet throughout that entire time all of the led in your body has failed to absorb even a single drop of mana. Finally, you briefly attempt to convert mana to heat, but quickly stumble on the fact that you don't know how to even begin changing mana into something else.
With those done you start to delve into the recreation of the metal sticks the creatures from Argandia had used, but quickly find that you only really ever see parts of them in Jeff's memories and his vision isn't quite as keen as yours when it comes to the way mana flows. You would need to obtain one of them to even begin work on studying the symbols on it.
At last you can dedicate your mind to finishing the miniaturization of the mana gathering arrays which is sped up immensely by your understand of the array's symbols leading to you managing to halve the size of the array within a year. With a now significantly smaller array you take the time to change all your arrays into the smaller ones before trying to decide on your next action.
Mana: 125/1500 (+101 Mana a year)
Planetary Body Info
Surface: (57 out of 360 Space used)
2x Mana Gathering Array Network [An interconnected system of smaller arrays consisting of ten in total that gather mana from the cosmos, and draw it into you.]
Mana Gathering Array [A mana gathering array. Draws a minuscule amount of mana.]
Sage's Teleportation Array [A vast array whose purpose is to move things from your surface to Argandia, inactive.]
Underground:
Small Tunnel System [It seems there is a series of tunnels, and chambers spread out underneath that strange array that for the most part seem bear though some of them seem to still contain items inside of them. Several of these chambers have some form of barrier around them that prevents you from seeing inside. Sealed off from the surface.]
Crystal Core [The very heart of your planetary body is made of a mass of mana-infused crystal in such a great amount that the Mana it contains outclasses what you can hold by a hundred fold.]
Mana Crystal Relays [Several crystal relays stretch into the heart of your body allowing you access to the crystal core contained within.]
Isolated Chamber [A chamber that is on the opposite side of your body from the tunnel system under your mana gathering array. You are unable to see inside, but you can clearly sense an entity within it that holds a power greater than your current capabilities. The entire chamber is enveloped in a array far beyond the mana gathering array's complexity that seems to be sealing whatever is inside. This array seems almost primordial in nature.]
Mana-infused Crystals Lodes [All deposits completely emptied from experiments, creation of internal crystal relay spires, and a frantic absorption of mana when you nearly died from mana deprivation.]
Iron Ore Deposit [There is one massive deposit of iron ore buried deep within your planetary body, even though its a fairly mundane material perhaps it could be of some use to you in the future. A small chunk is missing.]
Mana Iron Deposits [There are dozens of tiny deposits of iron scattered throughout your body that have seemingly attracted mana during the time it took you to form though how it differs from normal iron you're completely unsure aside from it being far more durable. One of the deposits has been emptied for the purposes of golem crafting.]
Lead Deposits [There are roughly seven small deposits of lead which seem to disperse mana on contact.]
Spells/Inherent Powers
Earth Movement - You can manipulate the rock that makes up your body though the more you move the more mana you will exhaust.
Crystal Melding - You can somewhat capably meld the mana-infused crystals into semi-detailed shapes.
Mana Lash - Compressing mana into a line you launch it at your target causing physical damage from the high speed condensed mana. The more mana poured into the attack the stronger it will be.
Manasight - Using Mana to improve your perception you can now clearly observe things that might have otherwise be hidden away underground, or such. Currently the range of this sight seems to be restricted to your surface, and within your body.
Store/Retrieve Mana - Through intense study you have determined a method through which you can store mana inside of special materials, or formations that can hold mana. You have also devised a means by which to extract mana.
Known Magical Arrays
Lesser Mana Gathering Array [Costs 15 Mana to create one, takes up 2 Space, can be connected together in a network that causes the array to be more effective. Base Mana Income is 1. Five connected Arrays increases it to 10, and potentially at ten connected arrays it increases to 50. The current limit of connected arrays is ten for your level of knowledge]
Sage's Teleportation Array [Costs 1000 Mana to create, and 100 Mana to operate afterwards. Takes up 15 space. This array creates a gateway between your location and Argandia allowing you to freely move things between the two!]
Known Constructs
Crystal Spire Relay [Cost varies based on size, requires Mana-infused Crystal to make. These spires naturally create a mesh of mana around them allowing your perception to move even farther than before.]
Stone Golem [Costs 10 Mana to create a single golem. These golems can follow mildly complex instructions, are extremely durable, do not tire, and can run almost indefinitely off of the mana used to create them.]
Iron Golem [Costs 30 Mana to create a single golem. These golems can follow mildly complex instructions, are extremely durable, do not tire, and run indefinitely off the mana used in their creation. They are far more durable than the stone golems.]
Mana Iron Golem [Costs 100 Mana to create a single golem. These golems can follow mildly complex instructions, are extremely durable, do not tire, and run indefinitely off the mana used in their creation. Strangely enough this creature seems to have formed a strange core of sorts in its center that both absorbs, and radiates mana.]
Known Arcane Symbols
Percipio [This symbol appears to mean "To grasp" or "To apprehend".]
Navitas [This symbol appears to mean "Energy" which while a rather broad term seems to mean Mana.]
Teneo [This symbol appears to mean "hold", "possess", or "keep".]
ac [This symbol seems to act as a connection for other symbols, its meaning appears to be "and".]
Intra [This symbol seems to mean "within" or "inside".]
Jungo [This symbol appears to mean 'connect", "join together", or "compound".]
On your Planetary Body:
Jeff the Stone Golem [Can follow mildly complex instructions, extremely durable, tireless. Unarmed. Partial Intelligence(?)]
37 Stone Golems [Can follow mildly complex instructions, extremely durable, tireless. Unarmed.]
Iron Golem [Can follow mildly complex instructions, extremely durable, tireless. Unarmed.]
Mana Iron Golem [Can follow mildly complex instructions, extremely durable, tireless. Has a strange core that absorbs and radiates mana. Unarmed.]
