Another month passes as I struggle to completely master the slash form. I often find myself talking to Bones even knowing he can't reply, but better talking to a skeleton than to myself. I am at the point I need a break and am thinking about opening the soulscape to speak with the goddesses.
At this point I only fail to get a perfect slash one in four times, I am getting really close to mastering it. In fact I feel like I should have mastered it already but I am missing a component. I have re-read the instructions for slash form a hundred times, but it doesn't say anything about what I might be missing.
So all I can do is perform slash over and over again. Another thousand slashes with seven hundred and fifty being perfect. No sign of improvement at all, I have to be missing something!
