Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Passive charm ability	486	Possessed an innate charm from childhood; it affected most people but had little effect on Rainer.
Awakening of Lust	486 487	During the Ian Gray heir-selection process, she awakened the ability to control others' hearts. Its bloodline side effect causes magical-power crystals to accumulate dangerously within her body.
Enchantress Witch	485 488	Her charm became strong enough that an ordinary person could be driven toward criminal impulses merely by hearing her voice. Rainer developed a method to extract the accumulated crystals without requiring their usual release process.
Macroscopic quantum lifeform	544 545	Quantumized the Philosopher's Stone within the Memory from the Previous Epoch, triggering Macro Fission. She survived through self-observation, but became unstable and partially intangible.
Quantum-magic collaborator	568	Assisted Rainer in completing a complex ninth-circle spell intended to collapse a macroscopic quantum lifeform into reality without destroying it.

Background / History

Phyllis is the eldest daughter of the Ian Gray Family and the illegitimate daughter of Winchester Ian Gray and the previous Lust Witch of the Serpent of Chaos. As a child, her passive charm made her adored by others, but it failed to influence Rainer; his indifference drew her attention. A promise made by the young Rainer became the emotional foundation of her long attachment to him. 486 523

During the Ian Gray Family's succession selection, Phyllis awakened the full power of Lust. The power gave her the capacity to control hearts, but forced her to periodically discharge accumulated magic or suffer organ damage, Heart Lake destruction, and mental collapse. Seeking the strength to escape her fate, she became the Enchantress Witch and worked as an agent of the Serpent of Chaos. 486 487

In Olmsted, Phyllis investigated the secret surrounding Aunt Celia's villa while competing with Rainer and the other Ian Gray heirs. She used the alchemy doll Hersen to investigate the property, kill Maken, and copy the memories containing the method for creating a Philosopher's Stone. 306 308 331 333

Phyllis later entered the Confinement Space in pursuit of the previous epoch's secrets. She removed the Philosopher's Stone from Hersen to activate the box hidden there, then obtained the world's memories from the previous era—records that also contained fragments of an advanced magical civilization. 434 466 489

Appearance

Phyllis is a strikingly beautiful woman with long, slightly wavy gray or gray-white hair and sea-blue eyes. Her beauty is amplified by a passive enchantment that alters how ordinary people perceive her, often compelling her to hide beneath a hood or use magical suppression. 502 503 523

• Often wears elegant gowns or silk nightdresses, including a crimson gown in the Confinement Space. 434 496
• Carries herself with a poised, aristocratic confidence even in dangerous environments. 434
• After the Macro Fission, light particles drift from her hair and her body appears misty and unstable. 545
• Uses an aquamarine necklace to partially neutralize her passive charm. 503

Personality

Phyllis initially presents herself as calculating, seductive, and highly manipulative. She treated influential men as test subjects for her abilities, attempted to turn Euler into a puppet to infiltrate the High Council, and concealed her deeper objectives even from her allies. 295 348

Behind that composure, Phyllis is burdened by the consequences of Lust's bloodline and by the life she lived under the Serpent of Chaos. She fears abandonment, suffers nightmares, and seeks safety and recognition from Rainer despite habitually teasing and attempting to seduce him. 486 487 504 523

She is also observant and intellectually curious. While confined at Crescent Academy, she embraced the internet, wrote fiction, and independently envisioned a world connected by rapid communication and shared information. 496

Abilities & Skills

Lust Bloodline and Enchantment

Phyllis's inherited Lust power combines passive charm with the ability to influence and control other people's hearts.

• Her beauty, voice, and presence can strongly affect ordinary people even without deliberate casting. 485 502
• She can gradually turn targets into obedient puppets; mid-rank mages are more difficult to control due to their stronger spiritual power and stabilized cognition. 348
• Her passive charm does not meaningfully affect Rainer. 306 486
• The ability's side effect produces magical-power crystals inside her body, requiring periodic removal to prevent severe physical and mental damage. 486 487 497

Serpent of Chaos Resonance

As a former Serpent of Chaos executive, Phyllis possesses knowledge and perception tied to the organization's Ancient Magic Empire relics.

• She can potentially identify other members through the resonance shared by their relics. 497 519
• She intended to use this sense to locate the Serpent of Chaos member hidden within the High Council. 348
• She can sense unusual spiritual phenomena, including the overwhelming number of souls associated with the Great Hollow. 509

Investigation and Strategic Planning

Phyllis is a patient planner who operates through indirect methods rather than open confrontation.

• Investigated Aunt Celia's villa through Hersen, blueprints, and physical evidence from the garden. 308
• Arranged for Hersen to copy Maken's memories and acquire the Philosopher's Stone's creation method. 333
• Understood that the memories of the previous era contained technological and magical creations beyond modern mages. 466

Quantum Existence

After triggering Macro Fission, Phyllis became a macroscopic quantum lifeform.

• Can manifest through self-observation despite no longer maintaining a stable physical existence. 545
• Her unstable form sheds light particles and risks disappearing. 545
• Provided Rainer with crucial assistance in his attempt to formulate quantum magic capable of restoring such a lifeform safely. 568

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Aquamarine necklace — An ancient relic given by Lord Braggs that partially suppresses her passive charm. 503
• Hooded cloak — Used to reduce the public effects of her enchantment while under Rainer's supervision. 489 502
• Memory from the Previous Epoch — A box containing historical records and fragments of advanced civilization; Phyllis later entrusted it to Rainer. 489

Relationships

• Rainer Ian Gray — Her younger paternal half-brother and the person to whom she is most deeply attached. She remembers his childhood promise, while Rainer ultimately treats her as family, supervises her, and works to resolve her bloodline condition. 486 488 489 497 545
• Hersen — Her alchemy doll servant and longtime investigative partner. Phyllis awakened Hersen and directed her operations, but removed Hersen's Philosopher's Stone to activate the box in the Confinement Space. 308 333 434
• Winchester Ian Gray — Her father and head of the Ian Gray Family. His succession contest drove the siblings to investigate Aunt Celia's secret. 295 306 523
• Raven — Her lover and accomplice during her Serpent of Chaos activities. She was displeased by his connection to the organization. 295 348
• Claire — Rainer's lover. Phyllis envies Claire's place beside Rainer but eventually lives under the same protection and supervision. 488 489 496
