[Outlander, you have obtained the thaumaturgy "Life Fire Form": Merge the "Fire Seed Source" with yourself, using the Life Fire Seed to ignite flesh and transform your fleshly body into a quasi-elemental form. In this form, the body's fatal weaknesses vanish. You will not die before the Life Fire Seed's energy is exhausted. The effects of "Life" series Mystic Incantations are enhanced. You are immune to negative effects and attack damage targeting flesh, but become more susceptible to the influence of deathly power. Corresponding [Life] Spirit Rune.]
"Ah, this..."
The requirement that the "Fire Seed Source merge with the body" simply meant burying the Fire Seed Source within one's own flesh. However, the mark on Shade's right palm could directly contain the Fire Seed Source, so he did not need to harm himself.
This power sounded extremely formidable. After transforming himself into a "man of fire," even injuries would not cause much pain. The enhancement to Life series Mystic Incantations could also greatly improve Shade's combat abilities.
But instinctively, he did not particularly like this thaumaturgy. In the Outlander's eyes, this fleshly body of unknown origin was already perfect. He did not need to rely on elemental transformation to gain other traits; the traits this body possessed were already more than suitable for him.
"Still, it's a free thaumaturgy. If necessary, I can try it in the future. This should also count as constructing a body from Life Force purely from the perspective of energy—not flesh, and not machinery."
Aside from obtaining the thaumaturgy, Shade also received background information related to it.
Although this was a Ring Arcanist's thaumaturgy, its origins lay in the distant past. Fire Seed Sources were indeed rare, but during the Mythical Epoch, the believers of the Ancient Gods possessed more Fire Seed Sources
