During my training with Terra, I had managed to develop two new spells, the Elemental Shield and the Force Bolt. These spells were created thanks to Terra helping me identify some key structures of the magic diagram. In particular, the blast spells all shared many common properties, with only a few of the major shapes being different. After some testing, I discovered that those parts of the diagram were related to the element being used in the spell.

From there, I began experimenting with the Shield spell, until I found a way to include those elements in the spell itself. This changed it from being a shield of pure force, to a shield of fire, ice, or lightning. Likewise, this helped me identify the ‘force’ element, which I was able to transplant into the blast spells, creating the Force Bolt spell.

To my surprise, I had actually earned another 10 points, for discovering a secret to magic and developing abilities that had not been known to my people yet. I was slowly getting closer to being able to implement an afterlife for my world, though there were also other ideas I had been thinking of. Primarily, I had thought about creating a new race, though I wasn’t sure what one I wanted to put in at this time.

When Terra heard this, she gave me some news that surprised me. “It’s actually possible to create a new race for your world whenever you want, as long as you either have a free race slot, or buy a new one. As long as your world has not been entirely explored yet, you can also isolate a section of your world, and have it run at a different timeframe. For instance, if you place a new race right now, you could choose one of the empty areas of your planet.”

“From there, you could choose to ‘rewind’ that area of the planet, and place that race there. Then, they will begin developing under your supervision, until they either reached a level you were comfortable with, or began exploring into ‘known territory’ on your world. This is how new planets are typically handled in technological worlds, by having the races develop when the world itself is found, and then reintroducing them to the timeline.”

That was certainly an interesting thought, but I couldn’t help but ask. “Can’t I do the same thing with the races I already have? Like, if I wanted to give the humans more time to develop, could I isolate them and pause the rest of the world?”

Terra gave me a small nod, watching me stare at the various diagrams. “That’s right. It would cost a few points, but you could use that as an easy way to balance the races, if one got too far behind the others. Or, if one got too far ahead, you could just freeze that race until the others caught up. Of course, this is only possible as long as the races have had absolutely no contact with each other, and have therefore not influenced the other races in any way.”

I nodded to that, thinking that it would be interesting. I still had a vast majority of my world unexplored, so fitting in a new race would be pretty easy. It was just a matter of not knowing what kind of race to put in. Well, I still had time to think about that. Maybe I could get an idea from Alkahest after our meeting.

After I was done training in the basement with Terra, we once again headed back up to the bedroom, and I decided to check up on the world. I hadn’t expected many changes, since the last fast forward had only been roughly ten years or so. In the great timeline of the world, ten years is really not a lot of time for change, especially in this age. However, there were a couple of things that surprised me

First of all, I noticed that the leader of Terraria was no longer Ardra, and was in fact no longer a Felyn at all. I sent a curious glance to Terra, who asked what was the matter. “I almost thought that you wanted to keep your own race in power with the beastkin. Didn’t expect to see a Kitsune in charge.”

Terra gave me a wry smile, and shrugged her shoulders. “I do want the Felyn to be important, but wouldn’t it be more fun if the races took turns leading? And, Mara really did have the best talent for being a leader out of everyone. So it only makes sense to put her in charge.” Saying that, she turned back to the bed and crawled up on it, turning around to give me a small grin.

“Ahh, that’s true.” I nodded slightly, before checking out the other thing which caught my eye, a flashing prompt in the corner of the screen.
