Chapter 1754: Deformation of everything (Ⅱ)

"Transfiguration" can turn a piece of firewood directly into a wooden bridge, but the volume of matter before and after the change has an upper limit, which does not exceed 100 cubic feet per cast level at most.
There is no fixed time limit for the magic effect of "Transformation", the short one can only last for tens of minutes, and the long one can permanently change the target form. In general, according to the duration of the transformation, the specific usage of this spell can be divided into Four categories.
The first type of usage is "same type conversion", which is permanently set once changed.
For example, turning a rabbit into a lion. Both belong to the mammals in nature and belong to the same type. After the cast, the rabbit's physical attributes and species types will become exactly the same as those of a real lion, and will never change back.
In the same way, turning a firewood into a wooden bridge is also a kind of similar conversion between wood products, and the deformation effect is constant for a long time.
The second variant is "non-homogeneous" but "strongly correlated", with a duration of 1 day per caster level.
For example, a 16th-level sorcerer casts a "transfiguration" to turn a rabbit into a owl bear, from a natural animal to a supernatural magic beast. Although the species type changes, the two still belong to the category of "biology", and the physiological structure exists Many similarities belong to "strong correlation", and the deformation effect can be maintained for 16 days.
The same 16th-level sorcerer, turned a rabbit into a rabbit hair scarf, and creatures became non-creatures, and the type changed, but the rabbit hair that made the scarf comes from the rabbit. The two have a strong correlation, and the deformation effect can continue. 16 days.
The third variant is "non-homogeneous" but "weakly related". The spell duration is calculated in hours.
It was also the 16th-level sorcerer who turned a rabbit into a rabbit ear headdress. The headdress was made of metal and cotton. It was obviously not the same as the rabbit, and no materials were used on the rabbit. The hair accessory imitated the rabbit ears. The shape of this is "weak correlation", so the modified rabbit ear headdress can last for 16 hours, and then it will automatically change back to the rabbit.
The last variant is "non-similar" and "non-relevant". The duration of the spell is calculated in 10 minutes.
The 16th-level warlock casts "Morph of All Things" and turns the rabbit into a pen. This method of transformation is "non-similar" and "non-related", and the transformation effect can only be maintained for 160 minutes.
This is only a general classification. "Transformation" is more complicated when it is actually applied. In many cases, even the caster himself is not sure that a certain transformation method will not work, which category it belongs to, and how long the spell effect can last. In the end, you still have to try it yourself to reach a reliable conclusion.
Joan is now 6 levels away from learning the 8th-level spell. He can’t commit to studying the rules of
transformation
. He will first copy this powerful spell.
After copying the spell, Joan looked back at the six steel golems in the hall and wondered why the construction techniques of these ancient golems were significantly different from contemporary craftsmanship.
Nowadays, when making steel golems, usually 8 rings of
transformation
are not used, enough steel is collected, and 5 rings of
ghost axe
can be used to directly shape the steel into the embryo's embryo material. The pilot pilot uses this process.
But in the era when Cloud Giant Magister Vavrunier lived, it may be because the steelmaking industry was not well developed, the steel production was limited, and the price was more expensive than contemporary. Some countries even used "iron coins" instead of gold coins as circulating currency.
In such a tight steel environment, the steel consumed to make steel golems becomes a high cost that cannot be ignored.
In order to reduce the cost of construction, the ancient mages invented the 8-ring spell "Metamorphosis". As long as there is a steel nail in hand, it can directly cast the iron golem embryo material weighing 10,000 pounds.
This deformation method does not change the material of the object and belongs to the same type of transformation. The deformation effect will never fade.
Today, these steel golems are still the most expensive constructs in Yunzhong City, and they are loyally performing security tasks.
Of course, from the perspective of modern people, the construction technology of Wavrunier's era was a bit behind.
Since the beginning of this century, the world of Valais has set off a magical industrial revolution at a surging pace. Every day, new steel mills are established around the world, and a continuous stream of steelmaking provides the most important raw materials for modern industry.
There is more steel on the market, and the price is getting cheaper. Ordinary people can afford a full set of iron tools. The main cost of making steel golems is no longer the steel itself, but the enchanting process.
In order to reduce the budget and reduce the difficulty of craftsmanship, the mages made steel golems, and replaced the
deformed things
with lower-level
ghosts
, even if it cost one ton more steel.
Against this background, the
deformation of everything
was eliminated by simpler and cheaper new processes, which is a normal result.
Putting away the pen and spell book, Joan waved back the remaining 12 glass magic eyes and turned to walk into the teleportation array in the center of the hexagonal hall.
After a short dizziness, Joan was transported to the highest level of the castle in the cloud, a loft with a high dome.
Compared with other floors in the castle, the top floor is unexpectedly small and small. There are several kinds of furniture in the room, including a bed and a set of tables and chairs. The simple and simple layout makes Joan feel a little warm.
If you let him choose a place in this castle as a residence, he would rather live in this small and simple loft than the spacious and gorgeous halls downstairs.
Joan remembers that when he first walked into the attic two years ago, there were four things on the table by the window, including a copy of "The Study of the Golem" written by Master Wavrunier, which recorded the real-time coordinates of the city in the cloud. The "navigation compass", the "form stability ring" that has been worn on his hands for two years, and the artifact "spiritual collar", are now also worn on his neck.
As the heirs of the four inheritances of Archmage Wavrunier, Joan visited the attic again and felt quite at home.
Looking away from the empty table, Joan remotely inspects the walls and ceiling of the attic with the glass magic eye.
This is the last room in Yunzhong City, which looks nothing special, but there are still many unsolved mysteries in this castle that have not yet been revealed. If there is no answer in the attic, Joan will inevitably be disappointed.
Fortunately, this time "peeping at the Devil's Eye" did not disappoint him.
From entering the castle gate, Joan opened the "detecting secret door", but from the first floor to the sixth floor, no hidden rooms were found.
But it was in the attic on the top floor of the castle that seemed the least likely to have any secrets. A magic eye found that the center of the wall on the right side of Joan had magical fluctuations, clearly a hidden door hidden by illusion!
