So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 237: Soul Conversion

"The rate of mana consumption is still really fast."

According to the Principle of Elemental Affinity, Jana prioritized simulating the Swamp Magic Frog brought out by Lilith-Mag.

Jana was quite familiar with the Swamp Magic Frog. After all, within the Swamp Secret Realm, she had harvested over a thousand Swamp Magic Frog tongues.

So, without needing to observe closely, Jana succeeded in transforming her hands into the "webbed" form within moments.

However, just like in the previous attempts, whenever Jana tried to simulate magical creatures other than plant-type ones, the mana within her would deplete at an incredibly fast rate.

"Looks like my perception of the Water-type soul is still too low—"

As Lilith-Mag had explained, cross-elemental transfiguration and Soul Conversion were not things that could be achieved overnight. In this process, she advised apprentices to first observe within the corresponding elemental environment before using the Synesthesia Ritual to perceive souls of other attributes. Only after sufficient observation should one find a magical creature with an affinity and simulate it using the Synesthesia Ritual.

This was because, just like the Synesthesia Potion, the Synesthesia Ritual had the best effect only the first time it was used.

And the prerequisite for Soul Conversion was for the caster to have an exceptionally detailed understanding of both the soul characteristics and the physical structure of the transfiguration target.

This process was long and complex.

Therefore, Lilith-Mag also recommended that when apprentices chose cross-elemental Soul Conversion targets, they should select carefully.

After all, since the best opportunity for the Synesthesia Ritual only came once, if an apprentice chose a weak creature like the Swamp Magic Frog, which was ineffective in both combat and escape, it would be a waste of the ritual.

Of course, apprentices should also act within their capabilities. After all, the most suitable choice was the best choice.

"Alright, time's up. Class dismissed."

"Goodbye, Professor Mag—"

Even after Lilith-Mag left, the atmosphere in the classroom remained somber and oppressive.

The difficulty of getting started with Transfiguration Studies had undoubtedly poured cold water on many students' enthusiasm, including Andy-Black, who had been brimming with confidence before class.

"Forget it. If even Miss Jana finds this class difficult, then it's perfectly normal for me not to understand it— Besides, I’ve missed several chapters already. Maybe I’ll just start over from the beginning next year—"

After some self-consolation, Andy-Black felt a little better. But seeing Jana still deep in thought ahead of him, the words that were already on the tip of his tongue suddenly wouldn’t come out.

"Ugh, Andy, what are you fantasizing about? That’s Miss Jana! The top genius of White Coral Academy. How could you be so full of yourself—"

Patting his chubby cheeks, Andy-Black, who had been thinking about how rare this opportunity was to invite Jana to lunch, snuffed out the unrealistic thought after a moment.

Not to mention whether Jana herself would agree— even if she did, Andy-Black wouldn’t dare to be seen dining with her in public.

If her fanatic fans saw them, he might end up being cornered in the washroom and forced to drink from the toilet...

At that moment, unaware of Andy-Black’s internal struggle, Jana remained quietly seated, pondering the matter of Soul Conversion.

With a swift chant of incantations, Jana’s body underwent transformation after transformation.

Gills sprouted by her ears, scales grew on her arms, and her eyes turned into vertical reptilian pupils— but no matter how many times Jana transformed, she still couldn’t sense the point of transition between the Wood and Water soul elements on a spiritual level.

"Maybe it really is just as Professor Mag said, a water-based environment might better facilitate my simulation of the Water-type soul attribute—"

Thinking this, Jana couldn’t help but recall the Calamity Plane.

That place was indeed a world rich in water elements, but its harsh environment had always discouraged her.

"Luckily, while in spirit form, I can return to the Material Plane at any time. It shouldn’t be dangerous, but still—"

Still, if Jana were to choose the Calamity Plane for practicing Soul Conversion, she would have to select an aquatic creature as her simulation target. Otherwise, it would only hinder her ability to exert her subjective initiative over Mind Power.

Letting out a long sigh and glancing at the now-empty classroom, Jana stopped overthinking.

After packing up her textbook, she turned and walked toward the mechanical elevator.

"Mr. Tower Spirit, I’d like to request a visit with Principal Anthony."

"Purpose."

"To inquire about matters related to the Law Fragment."

About thirty seconds later, a mechanical voice responded.

"Lord Anthony is not present, but I have left him a message."

A message?

Jana was slightly surprised upon hearing the Tower Spirit’s reply.

After all, in her impression, the Tower Spirit was an emotionless alchemical construct that had never behaved this considerately.

"Probably an instruction from the principal—"

Thinking that, Jana continued her inquiry.

"Then I’d like to visit Professor Grace, to redeem the free question reward she promised—"

"Lord Grace is also not present."

This time, the Tower Spirit interrupted her before she could finish speaking. Follow current novels on novｅlfire.net

"Alright, thank you, Lord Tower Spirit."

Though a little disappointed, Jana was not in a rush.

As the elevator doors opened and she returned to the first floor of the magic tower, Jana didn’t linger and headed straight toward her dormitory.

"Hm?"

Jana had just reached her dorm door when she saw a rose-red gift box and an invitation letter.

"Already here, huh—"

"Miss Jana, this was a delivery left here by an unknown courier. Since I couldn’t confirm its safety, I left it at the door."

Hearing the door spirit’s words, Jana nodded.

"You did well. Caution is a good thing— but next time, leave it inside the room so it doesn’t get lost."

"Yes, Miss Jana."

After opening her dorm door and placing the gift box on the lab bench, Jana prioritized opening the invitation letter in her hand.

"Just as I thought— it’s the opening invitation from the Necromancy Group—"

Last night, Julie-Ann had told Jana that, due to the overwhelming number of preorders for the wizard robe she was endorsing, the Necromancy Group had moved the product launch from Saturday to tonight.

At the same time, the Necromancy Group was also preparing to officially announce to the public that, in addition to endorsing the ready-to-wear wizard robe series, Jana would also become the official spokesperson for "Necromancy Jewelry".
