Chapter 255: What Does Casting Feel Like?
Malicious Shapeshifting.
This was a control-type spell that could turn any target in its field of vision into one of the three creatures.
It got its name because mages usually had bad intentions when using this spell.
As one of the divine combat skills that could be learned at the 3rd tier, a mage who mastered Malicious Shapeshifting could also learn its advanced spell after entering the 5th tier:
Group Shapeshifting.
This was a true killing weapon. It could turn a group of people into flustered and helpless little animals.
However, the form of the Group Shapeshifting was directly inherited from Malicious Shapeshifting.
Therefore, Matthew’s choice now was very important.
The counterintuitive thing about this spell was…
The difficulty of learning the three malicious forms of frog, wild boar, and goat ranged from easy to difficult.
That’s right.
Turning a human into a frog was the easiest, followed by a wild boar, and the most difficult was a goat.
Matthew was puzzled at first, but after understanding the mechanism of this spell, he understood.
It turned out that although the three malicious forms had the same effective time, there was a significant difference in the stability between the forms.
After turning an enemy into a frog, the spell might lose its effect immediately if something hurt or even touched the frog.
Previously, when Zeller had turned Sinwak into a frog, he had specially put it in a glass bottle to prevent the spell from failing prematurely.
If it was a small wild boar, you might need to push it a few times hard before the malicious form could not be maintained.
As for the most stable goat.
The mages could even ruthlessly attack the goat’s buttocks…
Kick him a few times!
This was the difference in stability.
The more stable the malicious form, the harder it was to learn. This was reasonable.
Of course, having strong stability was not without hidden dangers.
In the history of the Alliance, there had been several tragic cases of mages turning their enemies into goats, only to have their buttocks or groins ruthlessly rammed into by the goats.
Goat horns were no joke.
From this, it could be seen that although Malicious Shapeshifting was one of the godly skills, it was not without risk.
Whether it was a goat or a small wild boar, they all had a certain degree of ability to charge forward and attack.
Matthew pondered for a long time.
In the end, he still chose ” Goat.”
He didn’t think that something as ridiculous as being assaulted by a goat would happen to him.
If such a case really happened, he would have to hold his two Undead Guards responsible.
As for the learning difficulty…
Matthew thought that he had mastered a few wilderness forms, so that would be helpful in him learning this spell.
Although morphing himself and morphing someone else were two completely different things, Matthew was still very optimistic.
Immediately.
He took out the items needed for the ” conclusion ceremony ” from the material bag:
A standardized spell contract.
A tuft of goat fur.
Two male goatee beards above the age of 10.
A small amount of goat horn powder.
A complete goat placenta.
After placing it properly, Matthew started the incantation in a low voice according to the requirements of the spell ritual.
The candle on the corner of the table suddenly increased its swaying speed and range.
The sheep’s blood and placenta on the table were filled with a fishy and evil smell.
Matthew’s eyes and palms began to glow with a greenish -grey light due to the overflowing magic power.
Strange murmurs echoed in the basement.
For a moment.
The light in the basement disappeared for a second.
[You have obtained some knowledge about the body structure of a goat…]
Matthew closed his eyes and quietly combed through the knowledge that the spell ritual had poured into his mind. Gradually.
He now had a better understanding of goats.
He could directly picture the appearance and shape of a goat in his mind.
He could also distinguish between the delicate features and the repulsive features that belonged to the aesthetic appreciation of goats.
This feeling was so wonderful.
This was something that he had never experienced before when he transformed into a wild beast.
It was a kind of understanding and control of animal form.
“Not enough!”
Matthew opened his eyes.
In order to successfully master Malicious Shapeshifting, one had to understand every detail of Malicious Shapeshifting in great detail.
The ceremony provided a shortcut.
However, he only managed to successfully establish the framework of a goat in his mind.
He wanted to take another step forward.
Not only did Matthew need to learn more about spellcasting theory and knowledge, but he also needed to have a deeper understanding of the goat!
Regarding this.
The Great Mage Ronan had already prepared him,
“There are often no shortcuts for spells related to the Transformation Element.
“You had to become a member of the changing target. The best way was to get along with the target day and night.
“One day, if you find yourself resonating with it, then congratulations. At that time, not only will your spell be at the beginner level, but your mastery will also be at the beginner level.
“As for the true mastery of the skill.
“That would require a lot of time and effort.”
Matthew still regarded the experience of the Great Mage Ronan as the norm.
The next morning.
Before going to work, he got up early and went to the suburbs to find a farmer he had seen a few times. He bought a goat from him.
When he was buying the goat, Matthew suddenly had a thought.. If he became familiar with a female goat, would the Malicious Transfiguration spell transform the target into a female goat?
