Jiang Han let out a long breath, found a sun lounger in the garden warmed by the sunlight, and sat down with both hands braced on her knees and her tentacles supporting her against the ground.
Running with tentacles was a difficult exercise. It felt like going back to infancy and learning how to walk again; uncoordinated limbs were already the least of her problems!
More terrifyingly, Jiang Han's fierce, surging magic gave her undead tentacles enough strength to lift several tons. One careless moment, and they would launch her entire body into the air.
Fortunately, the tentacle book had clear training methods for this situation.
After an afternoon of effort, she had more or less mastered it!
The tentacle book laid out several highly meaningful models, called the clockwork vertical and horizontal vertical frames. With slight adjustments to their parameters and materials, they could be applied to witch and land-dweller technology.
By modifying the tentacles' supporting force, muscle-fiber parameters, and the prescribed allotment of magic, then fine-tuning according to those three values, one could create a stable walking-tentacle model! No matter what kind of complicated terrain Jiang Han crossed, her body would remain perpendicular to the ground's horizontal plane!
This prevented a witch's cerebellum from being overwhelmed, losing balance and falling over—or, on dangerous terrain, sending out a suicidal signal and tumbling straight from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain!
Its principle was much the same as a tank turret maintaining a certain angle and restoring itself over complicated terrain. Though magic made the process somewhat simpler and more brutal, in truth! Simple and brutal was the essence of witch technology!
Among witches, complex technology was not unheard of, but its underlying principle was always extremely simple and brutal.
