Although they have similar names, they are indeed different things.

"Elves are beings with physical bodies, fairy spirits are elemental beings, and fairy spirits are imaginary beings I created."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "Although we can only be considered puppets now, not living beings, Raiden Shogun has reached the realm of 'law,' and deserves the title of a magical race."

Technique, method, and principle—this is Ming Ge's definition of the realm of magic.

"Spell" refers to ordinary magic, which belongs to the realm of magic.

Law, represented by elements, belongs to the realm of laws.

Reason, all functions within a limited scope, can be realized through it; the embodiment of truth belongs to the realm of power.

Ming Ge himself has reached the pinnacle of technique in the realm of elements and soul, but he has not been able to reach the realm of law.

He himself could not complete the elementalization because the failure rate was too high, Ming Ge dared not experiment on his own body.

But Raiden Shogun can. Her basic structure itself is an advantage; her very existence places her within the realm of law, which can be considered as following the path of fantastical life.

Chapter Sixty: The Chest-Draw Sword Technique

"Alright, Raiden Shogun isn't finished yet, I'm going to move on to the next step."

Ming Ge didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she took out two bottles of magic recovery potions and drank them, followed by three bottles of nutrient solution. Then she focused her attention on Raiden Shogun.

There are currently five steps to creating a doll:

The first step is to form the soul matter into a human form, the second step is to endow it with properties, and the third step is to construct the magic stone.

That's right, constructing magic stones.

By constructing magic stones, which are tangible products of magic, the entire body of the doll is connected, thus completing the doll's magical core.

Although Ming Ge possesses the ability to Soul Materialization, he started from scratch, without any magical imprints or inheritance, and his skills are limited, making it impossible for him to complete the Soul Materialization.

Furthermore, due to the different nature of magic, it is impossible to achieve perpetual motion of the soul.

The dolls are made of magic, and their movements consume magic. Therefore, they can only improve their endurance by constructing magic stones specifically for storing magic.

"Here we go."

The structure of the magic stone is not complicated, Ming Ge already knows it by heart.

Through the convergence of soul matter, energy is continuously refined and compressed, eventually forming a changing phenomenon and solidifying according to the structure of the magic stone.

Ming Ge completed this step quickly.

Although a magic stone was constructed, this magic stone is completely different from the magic stones of monsters.

For the Raiden Shogun, whose Soul Materialization into a physical body, the magic stone is not the core, but rather the battery.

"Begin step four."

After restoring her magic, Ming Ge began the fourth step.

This step is even more labor-intensive than constructing the magic stone, because the fourth step is to add functionality to the Raiden Shogun through gold carving.

Gold engraving is a skill required for both forging and manufacturing magical items.

For example, Hestia Knife, forged by Hephaestus, is inscribed with Sacred Script on its blade and even inside the weapon.

It's equivalent to engraving a magic circle on a weapon, forming a functional spell.

In terms of forging, you first forge iron to make a sword, and then enchant it.

Ming Ge first created the body of Raiden Shogun, and then added functions to it.

The difference is that Hestia Knife uses Sacred Script, which gives it its power values.

Ming Ge uses magical incantations composed of magical patterns and magical characters to endow organs with functions.

Of course, Ming Ge's technology is limited, so it's impossible for him to create beings like the Einzbern family of Type-Moon, who, although soulless, are capable of thinking and possess intelligence.

However, some important functions are indeed available.

For example, a self-sufficiency ability built around the core concept of "Absorption Magic".

Inscribed within the Raiden Shogun's empty organs are Absorption Magic incantations, transforming food, matter, magic stones, and other things into energy.

The essence is refined to enhance the quality of magic, restore magic power, and then flows into the magic stone for storage.

"Esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine."

It is transported through the esophagus, then passes through the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, undergoing a triple transformation.

The last organ in the human body's food transport system is useless to Raiden Shogun, because Ming Ge's triple Absorption Magic can already achieve a one-way flow of food without any output.

As for what that organ can do?

Meitellia has something to say.

"Lungs: Absorb elements such as sunlight and air."

"Heart: Used to quickly mobilize magic power."

Having completed this step, many of Raiden Shogun's organ functions remain empty, including the most important one: his brain.

The spells will also be updated as Ming Ge's magic level improves; this can be done gradually.

Let's test it out.

With a thought, Ming Ge used the Mage Hand to take out the magic stone from the cabinet next to her.

More than a hundred magic stones were pulverized, and the fragments were absorbed by Raiden Shogun.

The Absorption Magic engraved in the organs began to operate, transforming the magic stone into magical effects. After being refined by the spell, it was integrated into the body and finally gathered in the magic stone, gradually increasing the capacity of the magic stone and the strength of the body.

Soon, thousands of magic stones, nearly ten million Valis, disappeared, but this only brought the magic stone capacity to V3, and slightly increased the body's strength.

Compared to the energy in magic stones, the magic stones created by Ming Ge have purer energy and higher quality, resulting in a significant difference in their conversion efficiency.

"The absorption step is not a problem."

Having sensed the operation of Raiden Shogun, Ming Ge nodded and said, "Then comes the final step."

Step 5: Forging weapons.
