I finished creating 100 storage trunk cards by 1 in the afternoon with enough mental strength to spare to create another 100 storage trunk cards but I decided against it as I couldn’t wait to read the basic golem card creation process.

After a hearty lunch, I enthusiastically went through all the materials on basic golem card creation.

Turns out I was right, my knowledge of robotics could change the entire golem card creation concept in this world. It not only helped me better understand the basic golem card creation but it helped me look at the endless possibilities of golem card creation.

This world is highly dependent on soul pathways and soul energy to create a golem making the golem card creation process tedious and complicated but if some of the burdens of the golem’s working are replaced by mechanical replacements then golem card creation would triple in its efficiency.

It seems humans in this world got the inspiration for the golem card creation process from nature’s golems like the elemental creatures and the undead.

Elemental creatures and the undead have one thing in common with each other, they don’t die until their core is crushed as their body is renewable till their core is intact and unharmed.

Since Elemental creatures and the undead are composed of soul pathways and soul energy the humans of this world who were inspired by them to create golem cards never thought of reducing the burden and increasing efficiency by introducing mechanical replacements in the golem card creation process.

Since this world doesn’t emphasize science and technology it is to be expected that the people of this world have stunted growth, imagination and creativity in science and technology.

Back on earth creating robots was not just a theory or dream, many had successfully created robots despite the lacking technological advancements.

But these robots were limited by insufficient technology in areas such as a proper power source and a super processing unit.

But these two problems could be easily solved in this world thanks to the ingredients used in the golem cards, soul reactor and the Artificial Beast Will.

The soul reactor is the heart of the golems and could be used as a replacement for a power source in a robot.

The Artificial Beast Will is the brains of the golem and it has enough processing power to execute all the commands and act as the motherboard of the robot.

While both soul reactor and Artificial Beast Will are part of the origin core/golem core of the golem card.

Since the golem cards were created based on inspiration from the elemental creatures and the undead I decided to browse some data on them too to get a thorough understanding of the soul reactors and Artificial Beast Will.

In the case of the undead, their core is their power source/soul reactor.

Sometimes the remnant resentment and hatred of the undead for living is so strong that their remnant resentment and hate evolve into sentient.

So their remnant resentment and hatred for the living is their Brains/Artificial Beast Will to say.

As for the elemental creatures similar to the undead their core is their power source/soul reactor.

While their awareness, they are similar to all beings they are born with awareness and with the age, their awareness grows.

To further understand the elemental and undead I decided to learn the basics of elemental creatures and undead card creation.

Both these cards fall under the summoning card similar to the sentient golem card creation.

With the help of Corey, I acquired the materials on both the card creation process.

Unlike golem card creation I could barely understand the summoning card creation as it talked about many techniques for soul pathway and soul array strengthening and transfer.

Thanks to my soul pupils I could skip this part of soul pathway strengthening and transfer like how l skipped it during golem and other card creation.

But things got way more complicated and harder as the new concept of soul array was introduced.

For this, I required the basics of soul array creation which turned out to be an advanced subject in card creation and could only be learnt in college.

No wonder they did not bother copyrighting something so advanced as summoning cards as one could not create these cards without the knowledge of soul array.

Thankfully only summoning cards of the living creatures require a soul array as they have harsher living conditions to be met to achieve good durability ratings.

And soul array is the best way to fulfil these conditions for the creation of summoning cards.

But summoning cards of undead and sentient golems did not require a soul array as they do not require harsher living conditions to survive as they can survive anywhere.

Therefore it is easier to achieve the required card durability in their case without the help of a soul array.

Elemental creatures are considered living beings because of their awareness and as they require to breathe in their respective elemental periodically.

By 6 in the evening, I had learnt the basics of golem card creation and undead card creation. I could go further but Susan had returned from her hunt for my new potential client.
