Mage Joan

This failed attempt reminded Qiao An of the fables he saw in a certain book.

A long-standing sailing ship has been constantly repaired and refurbished in order to maintain its sailing. Finally, the entire ship was replaced from the inside to the outside. Compared with the original construction, even the same wooden board does not exist. Then this ship Is the completely refurbished sailboat the original ship?

Putting this question in the context of transforming magic, after Qiao Ann turns himself into a beholder or a mind-sever, can he still regard himself as a human?

Sailing boats are lifeless. They are still a boat after being refurbished. It does not matter whether they are still called their previous names. However, people are creatures with memories and thoughts.

Unless the spiritual attributes, ideas and memories are changed together, Qiao An feels that simply changing the physical form will not obliterate the self-recognition of "born as a human". It is based on this concept that he refuses to be Mitra. Accept the crown from Ishtar, Queen of Beholder, and confess his human identity.

Unfortunately, this concept does not conform to the operating rules of Rune.

Qiao An has tested different levels of transformation spells one by one, and the results show that Daeg runes have the most significant enhancement effect on the 2-level "transformation" that cannot change the species attribute, and it has the most significant effect on changing the subject from the cellular level and making it species. The 4-level "transfiguration" with a change in type is not effective.

For the 8-level "physical change" that can completely change the subject from both physical attributes and spiritual attributes, the Daeg rune is completely invalid.

As for the 9th ring "Shape Change", it is actually an enhanced version of the 4th ring "Transfiguration". The influence of Daeg runes is similar to that of "Transfiguration", which is better than nothing.

Rune rune is the "mother of ten thousand words", almost born with the magic net, older than the gods, and to some extent represents the supreme law of the universe.

In this world of magic, it stands to reason that the "spirit", which symbolizes magic, should overwhelm the "material". However, Qiao Ann came up with a completely opposite conjecture based on the test results of Daeg runes and transformation magic:

In the universe, it is very likely that there is material before the spirit. The material foundation determines the height and breadth of the spirit, and no idea can be sustained without the material environment for long.

It is like turning a human into a goblin. Although he still retains his original memories and ideas, and thinks he is a human being, the people around him treat him as a goblin, which will eventually force him to accept the reality that he is a goblin and turn to Thinking about the problem from the perspective of the goblin, more consideration is given to the goblin rather than the gains and losses of human beings, and finally turned into a true "goblinist" from the ideological level.

Even within human society, this principle of assimilation also applies.

If casting a spell to turn a black or yellow person into a white person, and let him live in a society dominated by whites, how much can he stick to his original identity?

The reality is likely to be gradually adapting to your new skin color over time, and your mentality will also change.

Even if his generation still cares about the color, identity and compatriots of the past, in the real environment where racial discrimination prevails, there is a high probability that they can only be combined with the opposite **** with the same skin color, and their descendants will also regard themselves as whites, abandoning the previous concepts. , Complete the complete transformation from skin color to self-cognition.

For those who firmly believe that ideals will never fade and spiritual beliefs can overcome all practical difficulties, the laws revealed by Daeg runes are cold, pessimistic, and even desperate.

Qiao An would rather his conclusion be wrong, at least he can still retain a glimmer of hope that "man will conquer the sky".

…

In addition to using Rune runes alone, there is a more advanced craft that combines multiple runes to strengthen magic, which can often perform far more than a single rune.

This process is too complicated, time and energy do not allow Qiao An to test all the rune combinations one by one, so he put this idea aside and uses the conventional process to optimize the "shape change".

It took more than half a month, and in a blink of an eye, in mid-October, Qiao An finally completed the research and development of the "mythical shape change".

Compared with the original version, the most prominent optimization of the myth version of "Shape Change" is to extend the life level of the simulated object from level 25 to level 30.

Just like "Dragon Transformation", when using "Mythical Shape Transformation" with dragon blood or dragon scales as an empowering material, it can also increase 8 points of strength attributes and 2 points of physical attributes after transformation.

In addition, the subject can retain some of the physical characteristics before the transformation.

For example, if you turn a tauren into a mermaid, you can retain the sharp and hard horns on your forehead, and you will have one more natural weapon in the battle—Qiao An calls it the "partial deformation mode."

"Mythical Form Transformation" can imitate any creature with a life level of 30 or less, which means that Joan can use this spell to become "Mythical Moss Lord" Mancini or "Beholder Queen" Ishtar.

The former has the "mythical spiritual reflection halo", which is most suitable for dealing with psionic creatures, while the latter is the powerful "Eye of the Legendary Nest Mother", possessing the "mythical dominance" that dominates other beholders and subspecies of beholder, and has its own combat power. It is also a clan of the best beholders!

After testing the "Mancini Form" and "Ishtar Form", Joan was very satisfied, and added these two new forms to his list of candidates for "transformation tactics".

After finishing the work at hand, Qiao An rarely walked out of the study, planning to visit his adopted daughter Inanna.

It has been almost a month since I moved to Cloud City, and Inana has gradually adapted to the new environment. However, she still kept the living habits of the beholder, digging a tunnel in the warehouse on the first floor of Yunzhong City, digging out an underground nest, and sleeping in the deep well as before.

Qiao An doesn't mind her daughter keeping the original way of life, but she won't stop Inanna from making changes on her own initiative, such as changing her name to "Father".

A week ago, Joan was surprised when Inanna called herself "father" in person for the first time.

In the beholder society of parthenogenesis, there is only "mother", and the term "father" does not exist at all. Qiao An can't help being a little curious about where Inanna learned the meaning of the term "father".

"Since I learned that you are a human being, I have found a lot of books on the Internet that introduce human social traditions and culture. After reading it, I learned that in addition to mothers and children, there is a so-called'father' in the human family. Only the combination of parents can breed Offspring, I wonder...it’s okay to think of you as a father!"

Inanna's slightly childish answer made Qiao An both funny and distressed, and said to her: "You are not a human being, so there is no need to care about these."
