Wait... you guys can't fly ?
You never know how far you can walk until you try to fly.
EDIT: It appears that another party has published the contents of my journal before me, currently with a resounding 15 upvotes. I believe this previous poster is a farce. A Telvanni spy sent to ridicule my work.
"I believe I may have found the correct formula for the spell I am developing. With it, I will be able to travel great distances without the need to pay others for the service.
If all goes well, I will test out the new spell tomorrow. I believe I have worked out all of the possible complications. It will allow me to leap great distances, covering many hundreds of miles. Never before has one been able to travel in this manner: vaulting from the ground, sailing through the sky, all without that terrible disorientation of a spell of flying.
The time is almost upon me. My research is finished, and all of my calculations are checked and rechecked. They laughed at me when I suggested this. We'll see who laughs after I leap to the top of their towers and scream out my success."
Oh gross. Don’t post tates shit.
This kind of a note is also one of the very first things you see in Divinity: Original Sin. I just started playing the game for the first time last night and got a chuckle out of that.

Distasteful Tate repost aside, this is extremely similar to the first note you encounter as a player in Divinity: Original Sin.

The most useless talismen in the game. At least the Trick Mirror talismans might actually trick a bad red man into fighting the wrong guy. Knowing when a fall will simply hurt you, kill you, or already be completely safe is impossible.
I tried as a kid when a hurricane hit (it had run out of water by then so it was safe)
I have researched it and come to the conclusion I don't have enough money. Take to the seas instead like Neptune intended!
Franz Reichelt would like a word.
I've never gotten to the training phase because of the research phase.
Key and peele are prophets.
Maybe he meant an airplane when he asked how many have tried to fly?
Well, did he write this before or after having his head kicked in?
When there's a smile in your heart There's no better time to start Think of all the joy you'll find When you leave the world behind And bid your cares goodbye You can fly! You can fly! You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!
Many people did. Now there are living in Toulouse.
