The Box World.

In the spacious magic practice room, another "Lucien" stood opposite Lucien.

Same eyebrows and eyes, same build.

But that "Lucien" had empty eyes, with no focus deep in his pupils, like a meticulously crafted puppet.

Black vortexes appeared in Lucien's eyes, Eye of Magic Sight was activated.

He stared at the Magic Circuit within the body of the "other" opposite him—a strange and complex diagram that was almost identical to his own.

Raise your wand, tap the tip lightly, and draw an extremely thin trail of light in mid-air. At the same time, various magical materials fly out and merge into the trail of light. Finally, the trail of light is carefully "embedded" into the magic node on your right shoulder.

A faint silver light slowly spread from the modified area, like ripples spreading from a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

Lucien's eyes brightened slightly.

However, the next moment, a small flame suddenly burst into flames from Lucien's hair without warning, and then quickly spread!

Lucien immediately swung his wand, the water whipping through the flames, extinguishing them precisely.

His hands moved swiftly, adjusting and restoring the subtle Magic Circuit that had been there earlier.

The silver light faded, the source of the flames was cut off, and calm returned.

"... It's still difficult; the Magic Circuit Transfiguration."

With a sigh, Lucien put down his wand, took out his notebook, and wrote down the events that had just occurred and the details of how the loss of control was triggered.

The "Lucien" on the other side, which is automatically regenerating, is actually Protean Flesh Puppet.

More accurately, it's the Protean Flesh Puppet, modified.

The Protean Flesh Puppet was a loan item Lucien obtained last Halloween: a puppet that could freely Transfiguration into any non- Magical Creatures, suitable for practicing Transfiguration shapeshifting aspect of Transfiguration.

However, as the Transfiguration improved, this flesh puppet was put into the system's warehouse and left to gather dust.

During the exchange competition, Lucien triggered a very easy weekly loan, and after completing it, the system upgraded this old item.

The upgraded Protean Flesh Puppet - Modified has added a key ability: replicating Magic Circuit.

Lucien also possesses another loan item: the Circuit Expansion Stele.

Its function is to record and store samples of different types of Magic Circuit.

The two props, when combined, create an excellent experimental subject.

First, use the Circuit Expansion Stele to store a certain Magic Circuit, then use the Protean Flesh Puppet - Modified to replicate it into your own body.

Then, Lucien can try to adjust and Transfiguration the Magic Circuit on this "stand-in".

Lucien himself was already Animagus, and thanks to Loki's Faceless nature, he could freely Transfiguration a variety of different animals.

He can also Transfiguration into Magical Creatures with Magic Circuit.

However, to Transfiguration oneself into a Magical Creatures with magical talents, the wizard's original Magic Circuit must be completely simulated and converted into the racial circuits of that Magical Creatures.

This is not only a matter of difficulty, but also a matter of risk.

A tiny mistake could lead to serious injury, deformity, or even death.

Therefore, this road has remained stagnant.

It wasn't until he had discussed Veela magic with Phoebe in Beauxbatons that he witnessed firsthand the partial Transfiguration of her Magic Circuit when she cast racial magic.

That gave Lucien a completely new perspective.

Since complete Transfiguration is too risky, why not start with partial Transfiguration first?

Half-blood wizards like Phoebe and Hagrid, who possess Magical Creatures blood, have certain "unique" Magic Circuit that allow them to partially switch to the magical circuit form of that creature.

This is a naturally existing, pedigree-verified "feasible path".

The corresponding risks and difficulties will be greatly reduced.

This accidental loan upgrade, however, provided Lucien with a safe way to conduct his research.

What I just tried was to replicate the Magic Circuit characteristics of the Half-Veela within Phoebe's body.

The initial attempt simply shifted a few relevant magical nodes within the puppet's body slightly towards the Veela's structure.

The answer was revealed in that cluster of flames.

Lucien added another line of annotation to his notebook, his pen pausing briefly.

Actually, he was also curious about one thing.

If a partial Transfiguration of the Magic Circuit is successfully achieved, simulating the circuit characteristics of Half-Veela or Half-blood- Giant, then in addition to a high probability of gaining the corresponding racial magical talent—

Will it have any side effects on the body?

For example, could one gain a unique charm or a subtle improvement in appearance, like Veela Half-blood person?

Or perhaps, like Giant Half-blood, their strength increases, and their size also grows larger?

Lucien closed his notebook and looked up at the fully restored flesh puppet.

Those empty eyes continued to stare blankly ahead, offering no answer.

No rush.

The path of magic is long and complex, but Lucien always sees the way forward and has the desire and resources to continue.
