Do we know about the sage?
Look for the sage's teleporter.
Observe the planets.
Contemplate locomotion.

Curious about the origins of the isolated chamber, and tunnel system inside of you you turn your perception towards them once more hoping to gleam some form of clue as to how either of them ended up within you in the first place. After a long time of examination and contemplation you come to a realization that the chamber, and the tunnel system are not connected to each other in the slightest or at least the creator of both was not the same being. The tunnel system is only a few hundred years old at most while the isolated chamber gives you a feeling of something ancient beyond compare, as if it and its contents had existed far before your planetary body came into existence ...

Perturbed by this thought you turn your focus to experimenting with mana, and the study of the mana gathering array left behind on your surface. Though you fail to gleam anything further from the simplistic arrays you do make some small advance in trying to cause your mana to have an elemental effect in that you realize it is impossible to turn pure mana directly into something elementally aligned, as if you're missing some form of aid that facilitates the conversion.

You briefly contemplate the idea of moving your planetary body, but quickly shrug it off due to the fact that with your current knowledge you cannot facilitate it with the mana you can contain.

Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

GM Note: You guys do not in fact know about the sage though his existence did lead to your creation even if by accident. Also when magesight says your range of sight is restricted to your surface, and body that is when your perception is boosted with mana meaning everything around your body after a short distance is blank, you don't have a method that allows you even to find other planetary bodies let alone observe them.

Break through the barriers of the rooms in the tunnel system we can't see into with weak mana lashes (starting at one mana and ramping up slowly until we manage to break the barriers)

-1.
This is not a good idea.

The rooms in the tunnel system have only weakish mana sources and no sentience unlike the separate sealed room. It should be safe enough.

Manalash is clearly destructive. What would be better is shifting the earth so the weak arrays fray and fail.

+1. Try this first, and only if it doesn't work attempt manalash.

+1 to that but also...
why dont we try to make a larger mana array; as in scale up, on an unused section of space, the one we know already to take up 16 space and see if that makes any diffrence in mana output?

"The current limit of connected arrays is ten for your level of knowledge." - Directly from the status in the update, also it takes up forty space for a network of ten since each lesser mana array takes up four space.

I meant attempt to make a bigger one in the most literal sense, if as the basic one (2X2 Space Assumed) makes 1 mana per year, then would one twice as large (4X4) be better?

Ah, sorry my bad didn't quite get what you meant from the action, but I understand now.

But that's not what was said.
Comprehension mistakes happen. Telling me I don't understand doesn't help if you don't point out what I misunderstood :v

Fuse a series of mana crystals into a cord/rod/thing and experiment to see if we can create a directional flow of mana from one end to the other. If yes, try plugging one end into the mana barrier to see if we can drain it away into ourselves. (or manipulate it at all...)

Accidentally manipulate fate so that you will never get hit by an asteroid.
