A soulscape, the reflection of your soul. How one looks is decided by how one's lives.
By definition (From the magical side) the soulscape is where one interacts with spells learned to tweak the effects and personalize their mandalas.
By definition (From the powered side) the soulscape is where the skills intertwined with the soul. Feeding their power with the mana that inhabits the soul.
Mother said the soulscape is never the same for two magical girls. And she wondered if her Magic classes would give her new information or something that she didn't know already.
It wasn't probable, but she wondered why Father didn't mention anything about the soulscape or if he knew about it.
Probably not, since he was a muscle head. She would ask later.
For now, she was admiring her soulscape. After returning from classes she went straight to her room. Rosie was complaining about how the morning classes were about only magical history and how the magical ones would be late in the afternoon.
She just ignored most of it and retired to her room, after changing into her pajama she sat on her bed, and closed her eyes.
She was focusing inwardly.
Trying to probe her soul for a door into the soulscape. That was the wrong analogy (Probably) but it's the one that felt natural. And Mother always said to do what feels natural no matter what everyone else says.
So when she found herself in front of a gigantic metallic door with intricate engravings of scientific symbols and a few mandalas. She knew she had struck gold.
It was a vast cathedral, almost like a labyrinthine citadel of knowledge. Its walls made of dark gray stone, and its spires reach towards the sky like the fingers of some ancient, forgotten giant.
Once inside, she saw two different wings and a reception area. No one was managing it but it had a helpful display.
To the right, it was dedicated to natural history, with towering displays of ancient bones, taxidermied beasts, and interactive exhibits on evolution. It was almost like a museum depicting the great achievements of humanity.
To the left, it was another wing with a sprawling library, filled with tomes on alchemy, magic, and various fields of science. All that was esoteric was on display.
That's the thing, most of the stuff was a display. Like a museum...
Why was her soulscape a gigantic museum? She was expecting her bedroom...Or a pillow fortress...But not a museum.
There are even holographic displays and interactive simulations that allow visitors to immerse themselves in different worlds and times.
But amidst all this knowledge and discovery, there is also a sense of danger and darkness. Hidden within the shadows are whispers of forbidden knowledge and forgotten magic, and those who delve too deep into the secrets of the soulscape risk being consumed by its dark power.
Or so it said on the display. But since she was looking into her powered side, for now, she walked to that side. And so she found a Laboratory.
Most imposing of all, with its sprawling array of glass tubes, bubbling vats of liquid, and hissing machinery.
And in the middle of all this...
She found a pc.
It had her status sheet displayed and projected into a big holoscreen.
And just like that it highlighted her skills on other smaller screens.
The one with her [Inventory] had a HUD of an Excel Document with all the various things she had stored there (nothing) and a description of the amount of weight and stuff she could still shove inside.
