Date: 10th of Eòlas
Experiment 8:
Subject: Cryolithium
My attempts to harness the frigid properties of Cryolithium led to unforeseen complications. In my pursuit of its cryogenic potential, I constructed a containment chamber designed to withstand extreme temperatures. However, my calculations proved inaccurate, and the sudden release of Cryolithium's icy essence caused the chamber to shatter, sending a wave of frost through the laboratory. It became clear that Cryolithium possesses a chilling power unlike any other known substance, capable of freezing objects and encasing them in ice.
Tangential Thought:
Failure can be a frosty companion, but it also sharpens the edges of our knowledge. The mishap with Cryolithium taught me the importance of precise calculations and thorough experimentation. Through this setback, I realized the significance of controlling and channeling the elemental forces with utmost care.

Experiment 9:
Subject: Phosphorium
My investigation into the luminescent qualities of Phosphorium took an unexpected turn. Seeking to unlock its radiant potential, I attempted to infuse the element with concentrated magical energy. However, the resultant reaction was far more intense than anticipated. Phosphorium erupted in blinding flashes of light, temporarily blinding me and causing significant damage to the laboratory equipment. It was evident that Phosphorium possesses an extraordinary capacity to absorb and emit light energy, making it a captivating source of illumination.
Tangential Thought:
Sometimes, the brightest discoveries are born from the darkest failures. The incident with Phosphorium reminded me of the need for caution and restraint in the pursuit of knowledge. Its searing brilliance taught me the importance of balance and moderation when dealing with potent energies.

Experiment 10:
Subject: Pyrocrystallum
In my attempts to unravel the fiery properties of Pyrocrystallum, I undertook an experiment to observe its combustion characteristics. However, the presence of an unknown impurity within the sample caused a violent reaction, resulting in a fiery explosion that sent flames spiraling through the laboratory. The incident left me singed and the room in ruins. It was clear that Pyrocrystallum possesses an unparalleled ability to sustain and intensify flames.
Tangential Thought:
Fire, with its mesmerizing dance, can be both a friend and a formidable foe. The incident with Pyrocrystallum emphasized the importance of meticulous purification and understanding the subtleties of elemental interactions. It taught me to approach the exploration of fire-based elements with reverence and utmost caution.

Experiment 11:
Subject: Crystalline Aetherium
My research into the enigmatic Crystalline Aetherium has brought forth remarkable insights. By subjecting it to intense magical currents, I observed ethereal fluctuations, hinting at a profound connection to the fabric of reality. These ethereal ripples have reaffirmed my conviction that the elements hold the keys to understanding the foundational magics that shaped Cairngorm and the myriad planes of existence. I am confident in the accuracy of my identifications thus far, as each element reveals its unique properties and mysteries.
Tangential Thought:
Within these elemental realms lies the essence of creation itself, waiting to be unraveled. It is a privilege and a burden to be entrusted with the exploration of these hidden secrets. Yet, a tinge of remorse lingers within me, for I lament that my expulsion from the Magitech Academy has left my groundbreaking work adrift in the currents of time. Without the academy's support, the weight of preserving and disseminating this knowledge falls squarely upon my shoulders.
Entry 12:
Date: 19th of Dorchan
Experiment 12:
Subject: Aurum Crystalis
My relentless pursuit of knowledge led me to uncover the profound properties of Aurum Crystalis. Through careful spectral analysis, I discerned the intricate dance of golden hues that emanate from its core. These spectral sequences, reminiscent of celestial melodies, resonated with the ancient lore of the planes. It has become increasingly evident that the elements not only serve as building blocks but also embody the fundamental forces that shape existence itself.
Tangential Thought:
In the depths of my heart, I hold steadfast the belief that the elements hold the elusive keys to understanding the profound mysteries of creation. Cairngorm and its connected planes are a testament to this truth. The absence of the Magitech Academy's validation and resources weighs heavily upon me, for without their embrace, the full scope and implications of my discoveries may remain obscured, lost to the annals of time.
