After a couple days, his depression lifted, though he was still not his usual self, but he did allow the familiar bonds back up. He worked mostly on his shadow lords, trying to get all three models up and ready as soon as possible, as well as making the last avatar, before working on a novel idea he had had. It was a sort of cross between an avatar and an aspect, an aspect being really just a somewhat powerful mortal set of eyes and ears with limited (in his mind) ability to shift things. He called it a greater aspect, and it would be able to give a new demi-lich a run for its money, though he would still bet on the demi-lich, if only because the greater aspect had to find the phylactery before it would win.<br/><br/>After a few days of working, though, he headed to plane Raz, and visited his elven friends, as well as Daminor, though he avoided Maura, as she was getting near the end of her pregnancy or had just gone through it, and had no interest, unless specifically called out on it, of visiting her. Tyra, even with her admission, had left a poor after taste in his mouth, and he was slow to lose it. After visiting the mortals, he went back, and finished up the avatar, though he didn't seal himself in the personal lab, instead using the common lab, where anyone could try their hand at a magic experiment if they wanted, so they could come and keep him company. Provided nothing interesting happen, he suspected that these current projects would keep him busy for a while.
