There was already an issue with attempting that goal then and there in the form of a lack of knowledge. He didn’t really know the molecular structures of many foods but that was a problem for later. When he said he wanted to do it, what that really meant was he wanted to see if he could materialize something that would be as complex and he already knew something that fit the bill, being the dryadic seeds he could already create.

If he could replicate those then it really was a completed proof of concept that only needed to be filled in from there with whatever decently nutritious option the gods could find him and he was already getting to work, bodies creating a brand new machine while he pulled away some of his recently materialized rainbow mana crystal to fill with a new soul, connecting to it once more to try and fill it with all of the information it needed, even if the total volume had completely exploded from there.

He needed to give all of the information on every atom that made it up, the arrangements of the atoms into proteins and enzymes and the DNA equivalent it held and the further arrangement from there that became cells and tissues and culminating into the end product of a seed, with all the problems that would stem from that.

When he materialized them, he was actually creating shortcuts in his head for it. It was likely the only reason he’d been able to get the plant mages of the world to succeed at it with his help as well given the sheer scale of the information needed, with certain sections being grouped together in his mind with the side knowledge of how much it needed to be repeated again and again as some exceptionally non-lateral ideas were taken advantage of to make that work. If a soul would be able to replicate that was an entirely different question, with the answer being a resounding no when he actually tested it.

“Okay, not ideal but that means I’m giving it another go I guess,” He muttered, breaking the crystal to release the soul before creating a new one and trying again, attempting to think at it in a different way but still ending in failure.

It was another ten tries after that until he had to admit it didn’t seem like it was going to work but he didn’t let himself get discouraged. He’d already proven he could create a tool that could materialize, that meant a solution had to be possible so long as he was clever enough to find it and if there was one thing he was, it was clever.

If I’m assuming that the issue stems from the way information is being processed when it’s being materialized then it could be as simple as restructuring the process. It will be a bit… Well, a lot more complicated to build but it should be worth it.

His bodies were already moving as he thought, rebuilding the tool itself to let the enchantments pull from a far broader pool of souls instead of just the one the first prototypes were pulling information from and he began creating blank souls one by one to repeat the process, only this time, instead of trying to give each one everything he knew, he was instead dividing the information up between them and building his enchantments to pull from them all in order, working to see how complex he could make any one bit of information as his tests grew and the hours wore on, simplifying more and more until he had his success but a different issue emerged. By the end, it needed over a thousand souls to function.

The annoyance about that was tied with the smugness he felt about that one making it into upper legendary, finally crossing the threshold for the third time despite the issue that came with it.

It wasn’t sustainable. He was going to have to be the one who made every single one of those that would ever be made and it wasn’t simple work. Sure, it would get easier when he could wear his jacket again but that was only to a point, with another issue only amplifying that first one.

The seed he could materialize was simple, shockingly so. It had the most basic structure of the dryad homeworld and Jagal had even helped simplify it a little more for him while keeping it viable, but that wasn’t going to be true for anything else he’d create to act as a food source.

Be it plant, fungi, meat, or something else entirely, the cellular structure was sure to be infinitely more complex, meaning the tool would have to house tens of thousands of souls at a time on the low end of the scale and he’d have to force his knowledge into all of them, one by one.

At the very least, each tool would be able to pull mana from the same souls they used for knowledge and since people didn’t eat magic materials that meant it would in essence be never-ending with how much power each device would have access to but that wasn’t enough to offset the potential labour cost, especially given everything else that he alone could make.

Legendary weapons beyond just the realm of the soul enchantments his teacher could add to what he’d make and the mana bracelets that required created souls to give their power on top of everything else he was responsible for, he was making himself more and more of a hot commodity with all he’d produce but the more he was responsible for the more time he’d need to spend, having less overall to put towards trying to awaken deep connection and king of sacrilege.
