Chapter 1: Summary of the Protagonist's Current Talent Transformation Rules

Summary of the Protagonist's Current Talent Transformation Rules

Let's summarize the rules governing the protagonist's talent transformation up to Chapter 99.

I'll explain it using the game gacha system everyone is familiar with.

The random results of the protagonist's talent transformation can be divided into three tiers:

R: Parts and organs of ordinary animals;

SR: Parts and organs of ordinary magical creatures; transformations in this tier may come with certain magical abilities;

SSR: Parts and organs of high-ranking magical creatures, such as Thunderbirds, Fire Dragons, Phoenixes, etc.;

Currently, all transformations are limited to specific local parts or organs; complete transformation will only occur later when becoming an Animagus.

The higher the rarity of a random transformation result, the harder it is to obtain; the probability of pulling an SSR is still a mystery, similar to your game gacha mechanics, but without any pity system.

Besides this, there are some additional rules:

1. The protagonist's intense desire to transform can influence the talent transformation result, changing a random outcome into a determined one.

It must be emphasized that this desire must be "intense"; this is to prevent the protagonist from accidentally wasting the opportunity.

Because this ability to influence transformation results has a cooldown, currently set at one week; if the result is influenced once, the transformation results for the following six days will remain random.

2. Consuming corresponding magical materials can limit the scope of the transformation result;

For example, the potion provided by Snape that the protagonist drank contained magical materials from a Thunderbird, which is why he randomly obtained Thunderbird eyes; this result was also random initially, but the protagonist later used Rule 1 to influence the outcome, so now every time he finishes the potion, he randomly obtains Thunderbird eyes.

As for that instance where he transformed into a left claw and a right hoof, first, the protagonist had an intense desire to transform his hands, but he simultaneously consumed two types of magical materials: Fire Dragon venom and Unicorn hair, which led to such a transformation result.

The Fire Dragon eyes that appeared the next day were a random result; since the venom in his body had not been fully consumed, the transformation scope was limited to the Fire Dragon, while the ability from Rule 1 had entered its cooldown period.

3. Ordinary Talent Transformation versus Wand Talent Transformation;

Ordinary Talent Transformation is restricted to the head, whereas Wand Talent Transformation covers every part of the entire body; the resulting form corresponds one-to-one with the transformed part; for instance, ears can only be transformed into other animals' ears, but cannot be transformed into a mouth.

Of course, these are merely the current rules of the protagonist's talent transformation; as the plot progresses, this ability will surely evolve, so this is only a temporary summary.

Since it's rare for me to post a single-chapter update, let's talk a bit more!

Because in the plot of the second book, the protagonist's Runes Programming will achieve a breakthrough; after making this breakthrough, the protagonist will be able to DIY the results of Transformation Spells.

Therefore, I have recently been pondering what the protagonist's first DIY creation should look like.

The primary point I considered at the time was how to make this DIY result more logical and scientific...

However, yesterday an enthusiastic reader posted their friend's thought regarding this matter in the review section (the author encourages everyone to read this reader's friend's thought and give them a like), which gave me great inspiration.

After reading their friend's thought, I instantly realized that my thinking was still too conservative!

Logic and science are certainly important, but they should not be placed first!

What should always be placed first is coolness!

Coolness is always the most important goal of DIY!

I wonder if the readers agree with what I'm saying.

I suddenly realized that with my abilities, it is impossible to make a DIY result perfect in every aspect of logic and science, and besides, this is a world with magic!

Since that's the case, it's better to let our imaginations run wilder, letting science be science and magic be magic.

But this does not mean the author will abandon efforts in logic and science; after all, a certain degree of rationality in science can enhance everyone's immersion, so let's just leave the rest that's hard to explain to magic!

Inspired by this reader, many playful thoughts have arisen in my mind, so I welcome all readers to actively propose their own thoughts!

I'm just a typist; your imaginations are far greater than mine!

Finally, I'd like to wish all readers a Happy New Year in advance!
