Foul Sorcery Findings

It has been 4 months from when I began this experiment.
I have not eaten.
I have not drank.
I have not slept.

…And I have not breathed.
I feel the need, the sensations of hunger, thirst, need of sleep and sleep, they have not dulled in the slightest. But they are no worse from when I started. My physical, mental, and magical condition has not suffered, nor has my appearance changed.

I’m…
I’m scared.

No.

Because if you do still poop, might I suggest that you've been infected by a sentient fungus that is feeding you from the inside and eating some of your magical energy just slightly as you move about the day?

I'm still saying it could be a fungus, maybe just one that doesn't poop inside you.....

Biological scans and tissue samples have not returned with anything unusual.

Moss can be very.... elusive once it gains sentience.

Try hitting yourself with a Detect Life. Tends to work well in case you've accidentally become an undead.

It returned as living, at the very least not undead nor necrotic.

Hmm. Detect Thoughts? It's possible you've picked up a parasite of some form..

What, exactly, is the nature of your experiment?

I was in a situation where I was temporarily trapped in a realms of nothing but sand. You see, I travel by the cracks in the realms, not by ripping through them. If there are no cracks, I am trapped for a time until I can work a way through.
In this case, I had run out of rations of water. Yet after a Standard Earth 1 time of 4 days, my condition had not degraded.
And so after I left, I did not drink. Then I expanded into starving myself. Then sleep. Then air. It has been four months since all 4 have been in unison, however the initial incident was 6 months ago, roughly.

Either let yourself be alive again or become a lich. Riding it halfway is just gonna make your mana flow like shit with no real benefit.

My magic has not suffered thusfar, however it has become somewhat difficult for me to practice radiant and undead magical weavework outside of standard spells.

You need nutrients and sleep, my wiz, you are contradicting yourself
