Chapter 103: Current Rules for the Protagonist's Talent Transformation

Current Rules for the Protagonist's Talent Transformation

Summarizing the rules for the protagonist's talent transformation up to Chapter 99.

Let me explain using the gacha system from games everyone knows.

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

R: Parts and organs of ordinary animals;

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

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

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

The higher the rarity of the random transformation result, the harder it is to obtain; the chance of pulling an SSR is still a matter of luck, similar to your game gacha pulls, but there is no pity system.

Besides that, there are some additional rules:

1. The protagonist's intense desire to transform affects the talent transformation result, turning a random transformation into a determined one.

Emphasize strongly that it must be an "intense" desire to transform; this is also to prevent the protagonist from wasting opportunities for no reason.

Because this ability to influence transformation results has a cooldown, the current cooldown time is one week. If the transformation result has been influenced once, the next six days' transformation results will all be random.

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

For example, the potion provided by Snape that the protagonist drank contained Thunderbird magical materials, so a Thunderbird eye was randomly obtained. This result is still random, but the protagonist later influenced the transformation result using Rule 1, so every time he finishes drinking the potion, he randomly gets a Thunderbird eye.

There was also that time when a left claw and a right hoof were transformed out; first, the protagonist had a strong desire to transform his hands, but he simultaneously consumed two types of magical materials: Fire Dragon venom and Unicorn hair, which led to that transformation result.

The Fire Dragon eye transformed the next day belonged to a random result because the venom inside the body had not yet been fully consumed, limiting the transformation range to the Fire Dragon, while the ability of Rule 1 had entered cooldown.

3. Ordinary Talent Transformation and Wand Talent Transformation;

Ordinary Talent Transformation is limited only to the head, while the range of Wand Talent Transformation covers every part of the entire body. The transformed results correspond one-to-one with the transformed parts; for example, ears can only be transformed into other animals' ears, but cannot be transformed into a mouth.

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

Since it's rare to release a single chapter, I'll say a bit more!

Because in the plot of the second book, the protagonist's rune programming will achieve a breakthrough; after achieving this breakthrough, the protagonist will be able to DIY the transformation results of transformation spells.

So recently I have been thinking about what the protagonist's first DIY should look like.

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

But yesterday, a helpful reader posted his friend's thought on this topic in the book review section (the author encourages everyone to check out this reader's friend's thought and give him a like), which gave me great inspiration.

After reading his friend's thought, I instantly realized my train of thought was still too conservative!

Logic and science are important, Gu Ran Zhong, but they should not be placed first!

What should always be placed first is coolness!

Coolness is always the most important purpose of DIY!

I wonder if the readers think I am right.

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

Since that is the case, it is better to let the imagination run wild, letting science be science and magic be magic.

But this does not mean the author will give up efforts in logic and science; after all, a certain degree of rationality in science can enhance everyone's immersion, and the rest that is hard to explain can be left to magic!

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

I am just a writer; your imagination is much greater than mine!

Finally, I wish all readers a Happy New Year in advance!
