After preparing a bag for W to carry both supplements and food, Ed sent himself off.
He was still somewhat hesitant to send what was nearly half of his consciousness health out into the world like that but if he started doubting himself then perhaps it would be best to rethink the whole legions and kingdoms thing. A leader had to be charismatic, there was nothing more charismatic than confidence.
As for the potential lost levels and skills... The levels were split somewhat awkwardly but he had retained all of his levels so, in the end, it wouldn't make too large a difference.
"I should now have time to see how Sharog and Vorgarag are doing…" He had spent a little less than two hours on the entire split self thing. The process of splitting on its own apparently accounted for about 10 minutes and the testing afterward took less than half an hour but making potions was not an instant process.
