[Apocrypha] Journal of Borm, Self-Taught Wizard, 23rd of Last Seed

My last attempts were a bust. I think there must be some sort of mistranslation in some of Varn's books, because none of my walking-like-other people or mantle-wearing worked and I'm still not a god. But! I found other things to try in these weird books with black covers that Varn keeps under his bed.

Soul-stacking seemed easy enough, but the problem is the books never say how high you're supposed to stack them. I bought tons of soul gems from that shop-keep who sold me the helmet, and he swore they were all real and filled with souls, so I think the problem is that I just can't stack them high enough before the pile falls over. I need to get some flatter soul-gems before I can try soul-stacking again.

Stacking things looks like a big part of being a god, cause it also said I could "reach heaven by violence" and then I'd be a god and then everything would be great. I put a lot of thought into it and I think what you're supposed to do is beat up a lot of people, make a pile of them, and climb it up to Aetherius where Akatosh and Dibella and everyone will get together and make you a god as a reward. I was gonna try this, but I figured I wouldn't get that far before people started to wake up and then the pile would fall over. Currently investing in glue, gonna try with the soul gems first.

There's also some nonsense here about Chim, but when I asked a friend about it he just said that "As Chim as you get, you can never be Chim-est because Vivec's even Chimer than you." I don't get it.
