Chapter 268: Purified Soulforce
Irwin tapped the page of his book, staring at his proposed next heartcard.
"This is going to remove the ability to zoom in to see distant soulforce resonances," he said.
"Probably, though I'm not sure," Ambraz said. "This card will be focused on only soulforce and sound, wrapped around your soulstrum guitar, and it is way more specialized than your other heartcard was. It is possible that you will always see the ambient soulforce ripples instead of needing to use the card actively."
That's not necessarily better, Irwin thought as he pictured always seeing soulforce everywhere.
He guessed he would get used to it.
"There's one thing you need to do before this," Ambraz said, seeming not to notice his worries.
"Which is?"
"You need to write down all the things your recording card recorded that you want to save. I'm not sure if anything will remain…"
Irwin sighed as he focused on his Tablatures of Soul and Song. A moment later, the thin book appeared in his hand, and he flipped through it. The first two pages were filled with songs he had practiced with Skylar and the others, and he dragged his regular book towards him and started copying it.
He also copied the final song they had used for Hind's heartcard, then decided to discard the rest. They were mostly just experiments and other things.
I do hope I get some more pages to work with after this, he thought. Having just a dozen meant he couldn't really use it as a library of songs and card resonances.
When he was done he put the book on a shelf and looked at the page, then scanned himself. Both his mainself and his now nearly half-as-big-soulscapeself were awake and full of energy. Still, he had the idea he was forgetting something.
