Entry Four
  I have spent all day and night working primarily on a prototype for the beginning of my project. I was able to steal a few local goods and turn them into material I can use. I am sure no one will mind. I have a rough design made. Tested two times and tweeked to make better. But the prototype I have made still does not work very efficiently at all. It is a pair of boots used to allow more difficult falls to pass with ease and to propel oneself to high places much like the revered Dragoons of Eorzea. I still question how they are able to jump to such heights without technological aid. Maybe it is their naturally higher Aether levels that contribute.
  So far I have a rough design using springs, compression, and Aether batteries. Each boot takes three batteries and they will last long enough to jump and land. Upon landing they will shoot out the batteries as the boots relieve pressure. The Aetheric batteries provide the strength to propel the boots through its magically enhanced springs and to help lessen the force of the fall.Â
  During experiment one upon landing the fall was very rough and I ended up bruising my ankles. A undesirable experience. Definitely not something I need during battle. I tweaked the springs a bit and tried again later that day. Using a order of spring placement it lessened the fall for experiment #2 but I still had the initial inertia from falling and was forced to roll backwards to dispel it. Not good if I am landing against a wall or on a tight space. It still needs more work but it is making progress. I am heading to Ul'dah to gather more supplies to modify my boots.
