Idle Transfiguration Novels & Stories

Anything it is, it’s not good. I have to go. Presently. Taking a breath, I near my eyes and start to draw on my enchantment, considering back to what small I’ve learned approximately the standards of teleportation. Magnus continuously said it was approximately more than visualization—that you have to feel the put with all your faculties, not fair envision it. I attempt to imagine the open field, the twirling, luminous clouds overhead, the glimmering city in the separate. Gradually, I start to shine quietly as I imbue myself with my claim enchantment. Come on, come on, come on…

Seraphina listened attentively as I poured out my story, my struggles, and my desperate need for answers. With a gentle nod, Seraphina began to weave her magic. She closed her eyes and murmured words that felt ancient and sacred, her hands moving gracefully as if guided by unseen forces. I watched in awe as the room seemed to shimmer with an ethereal glow, as if the very fabric of reality was bending to accommodate the mystical powers at play.

“But how does it work, Elder? What must I do to enter this mode?” He leaned forward, his gaze intense. “To enter ghost mode, you must play a specific sequence of notes on the flute. The melody is not complex, but it requires precision and focus. As you play, you will feel your essence begin to shift, to fade from the physical world. Your body will become insubstantial, like a wisp of smoke caught in the breeze.”

"But whatever it means, your body clearly does." The lantern flickered once. Twice. Isadora took an instinctive step backward, putting the altar between them without seeming to decide to. "Seraphina—" Something answered inside her. And it wasn't human.

“Those souls are consecrated—” “They belong to me now.” Isadora snapped her fingers. The woman flew backward into a pillar with a sickening crack. The vault creaked open. Inside: rows of silver flasks, glowing with trapped light. Pure celestial essence. Thousands of souls, bottled and bound. Isadora stepped inside with reverence, eyes shining. “My darlings,” she whispered. “Time to come home.” The ground trembled. “You will not leave with them,” came a deep voice—ancient, angry. One of the Elders had arrived, descending in a swirl of celestial gold. His wings unfolded, massive and brilliant, and his eyes burned with divine fire.

But he looked for signs of what he would need to ready himself. “Set Ignis!” One of the Elders casted. “Extinguo!” Bradford cast back. “Hedera crescente” another Elder cast. “Hedera Mors” Bradford cast back. “Aer magicae rosa” another Elder cast. “Aer magicae extinguitur.” Bradford returned. “Implere pulmonem auqa” another Elder cast. “Exalant extra aquam.” Bradford cast back.

Something… empty. Zenith’s voice cut through. “Jax.” A beat. “Say your name.” Silence. Then, “…Jax.” “Again.” “Jax.” “Again.” “…Jax.” The distortion eased. Albeit slightly. Lucien exhaled slowly. “…identity anchoring.” “Yes,” Eldric said immediately. “It’s trying to remove self-definition.” “And failing,” Seraphine added. “Because he’s reinforcing it.” Good. Very good.

This state continued for nearly half a month, thanks to the Pagoda's twentyfold time acceleration. As half a month's worth of effort quietly passed within the accelerated time of the Pagoda's spatial realm, Severin, who had been in a meditative state, slowly opened his eyes. With a sudden inhalation, the green light surrounding his body surged towards him like a stream, eventually disappearing into his body. In the next moment, a thumb-thick green divine light swiftly condensed outside his body, forming a formidable divine chain of order, which exuded a majestic and terrifying aura. On this divine chain of order, the surging force of life circulated, and profound runes shimmered.

If I refuse to complete the circuit, pressure accumulates. Accumulation without release is unstable. The cup on the table rattles. Mercy does not move. Thomas does not reach. He understands now. He plants his feet and lets the tilt exist. The room shudders. Time is attempting escalation without cooperation. Without my correction, its distortions become clumsy. Visible. I lower my hand slowly. The air vibrates, confused. I speak one final sentence, quiet and absolute. “You move alone.” The words settle like iron. Time withdraws sharply, not defeated, but forced into recalculation.

she asked. "Unknown at this point," Saint answered. "Where is this section found in the book?" I asked. Saint shook his head. "Taryk and Atlas should have more info when they get back." "Are there any legible captions with the bestiary pictures?" I moved back to those pictures. "There's one, but it's only a partial. Muliebris animi mutatio procedit ignis. Dr. Atlas says that loosely translates to female soul starts the fire transformation." Saint looked at something on the table, nodded his head. "Yeah. I got that right."
