Foul Sorcery Findings

It has been 4 months from when I began this experiment.
I have not eaten.
I have not drank.
I have not slept.

…And I have not breathed.
I feel the need, the sensations of hunger, thirst, need of sleep and sleep, they have not dulled in the slightest. But they are no worse from when I started. My physical, mental, and magical condition has not suffered, nor has my appearance changed.

I’m…
I’m scared.

Because if you do still poop, might I suggest that you've been infected by a sentient fungus that is feeding you from the inside and eating some of your magical energy just slightly as you move about the day?

I'm still saying it could be a fungus, maybe just one that doesn't poop inside you.....

Biological scans and tissue samples have not returned with anything unusual.

Moss can be very.... elusive once it gains sentience.

Either let yourself be alive again or become a lich. Riding it halfway is just gonna make your mana flow like shit with no real benefit.

My magic has not suffered thusfar, however it has become somewhat difficult for me to practice radiant and undead magical weavework outside of standard spells.

it has become somewhat difficult.

You need nutrients and sleep, my wiz, you are contradicting yourself

They are separate schools of magic, I mean. Magic originating outside of me but that which is shaped by the hands of the divine, it is not as easy, but that is not my magic.

Try hitting yourself with a Detect Life. Tends to work well in case you've accidentally become an undead.

u/ModernMage0 SpellSlinger, Researcher, Interloper 22h ago

It returned as living, at the very least not undead nor necrotic.

Hmm. Detect Thoughts? It's possible you've picked up a parasite of some form..

What, exactly, is the nature of your experiment?

I was in a situation where I was temporarily trapped in a realms of nothing but sand. You see, I travel by the cracks in the realms, not by ripping through them. If there are no cracks, I am trapped for a time until I can work a way through.
In this case, I had run out of rations of water. Yet after a Standard Earth 1 time of 4 days, my condition had not degraded.
And so after I left, I did not drink. Then I expanded into starving myself. Then sleep. Then air. It has been four months since all 4 have been in unison, however the initial incident was 6 months ago, roughly.

This is concerning..... would you be willing to be examined by the darkwatch?

maybe we find something you overlooked

I have sent tissue and blood samples, as well as a Baktelio scan of my soul within quartz. I will not be appearing in person.

...the purpose of the experiment being?

u/ModernMage0 SpellSlinger, Researcher, Interloper 14h ago

I don’t know. I simply had to know.

u/yumie2003 Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, R&A, league of shadows/Toshiko Fujiwara 12h ago

...Know what? How much can you endure before dying?

Regardless of if it will kill you or not, it seems unpleasant, so suggest you go eat something. Take solace in the fact that if you ever had to go without food or water, you’d be okay.

u/ModernMage0 SpellSlinger, Researcher, Interloper 11h ago

Thank you for your concern.
But that is just the thing; my feelings are that of only mild unpleasantness, not pain or fatigue.
I must know why.
