Finalizing My Water Guardian Robot’s Desert Survival Abilities for a Middle Grade Book Rewritten from transcript by Claude AI
Rewritten from transcript by Claude AI
In this quick 10-minute writing session on February 20th, 2024, I, fantasy author MJ Muñoz, share finishing the ability list for Wav Rex, my water-affiliated Critterbot Guardian. With combat talents established earlier, today focused locking down passive skills suiting his aqueous affinity.
I utilized Claude AI to spark initial non-combat concepts, but ultimately replaced a redundant healing water notion with a more distinguishing moisture vaporator power instead. Useful in arid situations, this Star Wars-inspired vapor collecting mechanism efficiently extracts drinkable water from dry air. So partnered child characters can thrive even when oceans aren’t nearby.
It’s not the most thrilling talent, but writing these grounded details now pays dividends when crafting wilderness survival scenes down the line. Whether foraging necessities across fantasy landscapes or even interstellar desert planets, Wav Rex has my protagonists covered. His purified provisions perfectly complement fellow Critterbot Guardian abilities as well.
With Wav Rex’s water-manipulating skill set complete, my foundational work crafting this group of heroes is largely locked. I still need to revisit personalities and histories. But nailing down their elemental capabilities and limitations grounds the overarching adventure. Plus, it progresses another manuscript chapter closer to completion.
Let me know if you would like me to modify or add anything to this 1st person summary focused on fantasy creature design for kids fiction! I wove in some light worldbuilding and abilities-centric keywords.
