I should correct myself there are no successful cases of those using dungeon cores as a catalyst as for exceptions like myself there were none the only thing that I could go by is natural development of those that used catalyst that have been documented and growth over time.
Those that use the common catalyst very rarely go through dramatic changes in their magical power and abilities as the natural potential of these catalyst are low however those that use them have a lower rate of failure as a trade off those that go through a power evolution are called common elite it usually stems from the fact that multiple generations of their ancestors went through the process using common catalyst upgrading their bloodline until it made a breakthrough or had ancestor that had a better catalyst usually being the result of being a bastard child of a noble or a clan member.
For detailed information about those that used higher level catalyst the only place to get it is from the private libraries of the nobles or clans as each group is very secretive about such information but a general understanding can be drawn that those that use higher level catalyst tend to go through a power evolution period especially those from noble and clan families some even go through unique power evolutions because of the catalyst used by previous generations influencing them.
On the other hand there is divergent mutations which are caused by outside influences a divergent mutation is dangerous as it doesn't only affect one's magical abilities but also causes can lead magical evolution dead ends making it nearly impossible to progress and physical mutations such as scaling or claws sometimes these divergent mutations can cause individuals to be reclassified as magical creatures if they loose their minds in fact their have been a few cases like this that have occurred recently although these incidents are far fewer than in the past as noble families are more able to handle larger amounts of mana nowadays these incidents usually pop up in commoners using higher level catalyst than they can withstand.
Unfortunately as I previously stated outside influences can be a factor like being exposed to massive amounts of mana or imbibing an untested potion leading to mutations not part of the natural progression although in some cases these scenarios can create an artificial evolution instead of a divergent mutation but it isn't usually the case which is why I decided to create a laboratory on the planetoid's surface ahead of schedule as I am releasing too much miasma for the crystals to handle and I can't have it affecting my science vessel before I know what it may cause officially though I said I was excited to go planetside rush the development of my personal lab on the surface.
DAY 1-8
The laboratory was finished fairly quickly and I have begun to let my miasma spread freely the rest of my staff remain on the ship monitoring the overall development of the planetoid and only Heather travel back and forth when things need to be done in person all I have with me the golems, the purple elves and Lilly are acting as my staff in my lab and I have finally begun realize that my dungeon aspect is why I was so attached to the idea that of not letting my emotions control me as dungeons tend to revile such concepts.
DAY 9-17
I have been slowly weening myself off my potion that has been suppressing my desires but at times it becomes too overwhelming forcing me to take take a milder version of the same potion but at times I did end up groping my elves and Lilly who seems to enjoy the attention and has begun to hide the potion from time to time but it has allowed me to release some of my pent-up desires so I over look it for now.
DAY 18
Heather walked in on me as Lilly was giving me a helping hand and I wasn't able to contact her for rest of the day.
DAY 19-30
Although Heather has been a little awkward around me I have noticed that her clothing choices have become more proactive lately following the incident instead of her usual attire of loose and baggy clothes from when I first met her and it has become hard not to notice that alluring figure of hers making it nearly impossible for me to think straight.
DAY 31-52
I finally came up with a reasonable theory studying various dungeons and the characteristics of their miasma the first thing to note was that each dungeon possessed a miasma unique to that dungeon and the reason for this is just like no one individual is the same so too are dungeons and their personalities except during the early stages of their development where they have yet to develop an ego which is why their miasma starts off blue in color where as mine started of purple as I had a sense of self developed already and I believe that the color purple is symbolic for my pride as I have always felt superior which is why other dungeons might have purple coloring although it could stem from other factors as for pink it seems unique to me as dungeons don't get aroused because they are living crystals that reproduce through mana saturation of unique crystals which are now manufactured by companies.
