@ScreenAcne Gruel clambers through the moss and splashes into the water. Gruel slurps his way up the pillar.
Gruel has has discovered the Glyph of Curiousity!
Would you like to - SLURP!
Mmm, delicious. Tastes like adventure.
Gruel has absorbed the Glyph of Curiousity and has become the first Curious Slime! Curious Slimes do best exploring the wilderness or uncovering secrets in dungeons. They are a little smaller then other slimes, but what they lack in size they make up for in gumption.
The Slime Pool turns golden as it assimilates the Wonders of Curiousity! Any grey Slime may be reborn as a Curious Slime immediately, if they choose, and future slimes now have the option to spawn as a Curious Slime.
(Dancing Slimes and Magical Slimes will need to submerge themselves in the Slime Pool in order to re-emerge as a Curious Slime.)
Gruel sits on his pillar.
Meanwhile...
@The Elvenqueen Might as well get going! The surface world seems pretty safe right now.

@SubjectVision Cube drops the seeds into the pool. It turns gold!
Woah!! Did you do that?!?!
More importantly, can you turn into a giant cube of Dirt?!
>Analysing...
Cube attempts to understand the concept of Dirt on an intrinsic level. Luckily, Dirt is a resource not too difficult to understand. Other materials, and sentient creatures, may require more effort.
Analysis success! Cube understands how to, theoretically, turn into a big ol' cube of dirt.
>Metamorphosis...
Cube attempts to turn into a Cube of dirt. Other resources or sentient creatures may be more difficult to metamorphose, but in this case...
Metamorphosis success!
Due to the non sentient nature of Dirt, Cube will retain all of Cube's Grey Slime abilities while in this form. Cube gains no notable new abilities from being dirt. Cube is still a Grey Slime, just one that happens to look, feel and smell like a block of dirt. Note: Some Magical Doorways may dislike Forms...
>Encoding... (0/2)
If Cube spends 2 turns in this form, Cube will permanently unlock the skill Form: Dirt Cube. This will allow Cube to turn into a Dirt Cube whenever Cube wishes, without requiring a full inventory of dirt.
Phew! Cube has learnt a lot about being a slime, but perhaps there is more to learn?
Taking similar actions in future will result in a Discovery being made. (1/2...?)
Oh! What about those seeds? Well, they're in the Slime Pool right now. It's hard to tell if something is happening yet or not.
