The Similarities Between
Mushrooms and Arcanists
In 1729, Micheli proposed a fungal classification chart, marking the birth of mycology.
For a long time, fungi have provided academia with abundant research materials, attracting countless researchers. Some scholars relish the endless debates and refutations, discussing the complex classification of these magical fungi beneath the soil through research reports.
Others leaned towards the study of edible mushrooms. Thanks to globalization in the 1990s, people's appetites were not limited to their own countries. Mycologists ventured into forests, uncovering rare and delicious mushrooms and serving them on the plates of wealthy individuals and politicians. This created an industry that grew to rival the popularity of caviar, becoming a mainstream way for the new era to flaunt wealth.
And when Ezra first stepped into a fairy ring, he was only 4 years old.
"What is this? Mommy?" he asked. His mother bent down, stroked her child's soft blonde hair, and let him touch the soft caps of the mushrooms. This was the beginning of Ezra's understanding of fungi.
"They're so interesting, diverse, and colorful. Some are delicious, some are poisonous, some are soothing, and some cause delirium!"
"Just like ..."
He hesitated, flipping through the familiar imagery in his mind, his curiosity, love, aspirations, and yet-to-be-known goals.
"Ah! Like arcanists!"

Notes with Dog Doodles
▪ 003 Fungus, red and green appearance, begins color transformation in the afternoon in its region. Tested as non-toxic through litmus paper, though might contain a certain paralytic effect.
Red Notes: Paralysis symptoms appeared 15 minutes and 23 seconds after purified injection, lasted for about 5 minutes before gradually weakening. No dizziness or nausea side effects. Could potentially be used as an anesthetic, but honestly, it's boring. Don't send me this again next time.
Blue Notes: Thank you for the experiment, Medicine Pocket. Different degrees of samples are necessary. I will prepare three more poisonous mushrooms for you next time.
▪ 009 Fungus, light yellow appearance, turns purple when added to an acidic solution. Weakly alkaline. Tested as having level 1 toxicity. May cause fainting or clinical symptoms like skin itching, and fever.
Red Notes: Skin itching symptoms appeared within 20 seconds of consumption and lasted over 35 hours. Without suppressants, there's potential for worsening. No fainting observed. Recommended for combat usage research.
Blue Notes: High-efficacy allergy suppressants are in the third drawer on the left side of your office. Please use them as soon as possible.
▪ 012 Fungus, brown in appearance, thick cap, about the width of a palm, similar to local edible mushrooms. Tested as having level 6 toxicity. Ingestion of more than 15 grams can be lethal to adults.
Red Notes: Almost died.
Blue Notes: Medicine Pocket! We agreed last time that you can't keep stealing mushrooms from my ecology box!
Red Notes: I thought it was an edible mushroom. I was hungry.

Appropriate Care
Ezra: Hello, ma'am.
Ezra: Your abilities in arcanum ... are quite unique.
Pandora Wilson: Yes, people often say that.
Ezra: If you need water or food, please let me know at any time. I understand that arcanists expend a certain amount of energy when using their arcane skills, and I am more than happy to assist you whenever needed.
Pandora Wilson: You are indeed as helpful as people say.
Pandora Wilson: May I know where this enthusiasm comes from?
Ezra: Of course ... I'm happy to discuss that with you.
Ezra: Helping others brings me joy, or rather, I've always hoped I could be of assistance to others.
Ezra: My mother told me it's my responsibility, or perhaps ... my "mission."
Ezra: We possess certain things that arcanists do not, like human rationality, stability, and a strong physique, and we should use these to assist arcanists.
Ezra: But the acuity and inspiration of arcanists can also guide me, showing me a wonderful world I could never have imagined.
Ezra: Humans and arcanists ...
Ezra: I believe ... we complement each other, like pieces of a puzzle that mirror each other.
Pandora Wilson: Thank you for your sincerity; it's a very interesting perspective.
