There wasn't much for me to do whilst waiting for Lud to return to the Guild.
If it were necessary, it would be easy for me to force him to take me to the Magic Tower whenever I wanted. In fact, the only reason I was even bothering to wait for him in the first place is because, at least for now, it would be better to stay as inconspicuous as possible.
At least until I figure out how strong a transcendent is.
Most of all, there are still many things I need to experiment with in regard to Reality.
The more I discover and find out about its capabilities, the more questions that pop up and possibilities that sprout. Just like the renowned Dunning-Kruger effect, I thought I had it sorted once I realised the essence of it, but I only continue to get reminded of how little that actually meant the more I use it.
