Isaac raised his eyebrows slightly. He had not expected the technique could be used this way, though the execution left something to be desired.
Soul Editing was not particularly advanced by the standards of modern wizards, and its practical applications were relatively limited. First, it could not handle souls with unusual structures. Second, it could only be used while the target was unconscious.
Moreover, soul structures were highly resilient, and most edits would revert to their original state after a certain amount of time.
Ultimately, it was merely a foundational technique in the study of souls. What truly proved useful were the various contract spells and forms of soul alchemy developed and refined from it. Those were what could be used in actual combat.
The Infinite Demon God had only succeeded this time because Valon had taken elementalization too far. Most normal people only partially elementalized their bodies, leaving them some means of resisting powers that controlled elements.
