Otaku Witch-Chapter 455 : 390. The Transformation of Wendigo
The Transformation School, a particularly special faction among the nine major schools of witchcraft, is adept at transformation magic. Witches proficient in this art could effortlessly turn stone into gold, label deer as horses, transform into fierce beasts, and even take on the forms of the Great Dragon, Demon, Angel, and other Calamity Races.
In short, this is a very powerful school of magic. When practiced to the extreme, it's no less potent than the Seventy-two Transformations of myth and legend that Dorothy had heard about in her previous life. One could simply blow on an object, shout "Transform for me!", and then change that object into any desired shape.
Of course, this school is also notoriously difficult to learn and master. The challenges and risks are quite high, especially when it comes to self-transformation magic. One careless mistake could result in being unable to change back, and every year there are people within the Transformation School who tragically end up stuck as cats, dogs, or even frogs.
The Yemengade Family, to which Dorothy belongs, excels in two types of magic: the Dragon Transformation Technique and the Combat Magic System, with the former being one of the signature high-order spells of the Transformation School.
For this reason, the homebody witch has always been quite good at transformation magic. She truly has a gift for it. Although she's a Genius Witch who has mastered all Nine Major Factions, if forced to choose one she is most adept at, it would be transformation magic.
This is not just because of her inherited family talent but also because, in Dorothy's eyes, transformation magic is the most liberating form of magic, epitomizing the idea of freedom and belief that the heart is where your magic lies.
As long as you dare to imagine, your transformation magic can be as fluid as you desire. It's the most idealistic of all magic schools.
Nine-Ring Magic, the Witch's Seventy-two Transformations is one of the few spells in the Witch of the Forest series to receive mixed reviews.
The criticism isn't due to lack of utility but because it's simply too hard to grasp—similar to the aforementioned Witch's Coin Game spell. Although it's been released, very few have managed to master it.
But for Dorothy herself, this spell from the Nine-Ring Magic encompasses all her understanding of the Transformation School. It's an All-Purpose Transformation Spell that allows you to become anything you can imagine, provided you hold the right medium in your hand.
Holding a feather, you could become a bird; with a fish scale as a medium, you could become a fish.
Although the final effect of the spell might not be as potent as those specialized in a single transformation, this versatile spell truly allows for free and whimsical shape-shifting.
This spell is also one of Dorothy's self-invented favorites, a genuine portrayal of her joyful magic.
Alas, without a deep understanding of transformation magic, it is nearly impossible for witches to learn it, which explains the fair amount of negative feedback beneath the spell.
"A spell that does everything? Impossible, absolutely impossible. There is no way such an amazing spell could exist in this world."
"Lady Witch, aren't you being too misleading? What do you mean by 'just believe'? Are you kidding me?"
"Hilarious, this witch is overrated. Everyone understands the theory that if your heart is strong enough, you can do anything with magic. But except for The Third King, who else has reached that state?"
...
Most of the comments in the review section are of this nature.
However, there are occasionally some that lavish praises to the skies.
"Lady Witch, you truly have a prodigious talent. With just one sentence, you've summarized the essence of transformation magic. I'm madly in love with you; I want to bear your monkeys."
"A spell that does everything is an incredibly terrifying conceptualization of transformation magic. Amazing, in less than fifty years, the Witch of the Forest will undoubtedly be the leading figure in the Transformation School."
...
Well, such rare praises often elevate her to the heavens, so much so that even she feels embarrassed when reading them. And if it wasn't for the fact that these glowing comments are posted by IDs backed by an array of shiny VIP validations, she might even suspect they were paid shills boosting her reputation.
But no matter what the comments say, they don't affect Dorothy personally; after all, she finds the All-Purpose Transformation Spell quite comfortable to use herself.
Like right now...

As one of the Three Great Calamity Races, taking on the form of a Demon comes with naturally high thresholds and difficulty levels, similar to that of the Dragon Transformation Technique.
But the Fairy King is currently quite at ease.
"I am a Demon Witch."
This firm belief in her heart, she used the title bestowed upon her by Lord Demon King as a medium and unleashed the Witch's Seventy-two Transformations.
Thus, the next moment, the Dragon Witch fell from grace and transformed into the Dragon Demon Witch. Her innate draconic pride and dominance turned sinister and vicious; she couldn't have been more demonic.
At the same time, all sorts of special senses temporarily developed within her body, radically altering her view of the world. For example, from the way, he saw it, black miasma oozed from the normally unassuming Miss Wendigo, with this horrifying negative energy swirling around the young Demon Witch and occasionally taking on the form of wailing skulls.
She could now directly see Original Sin.
"Ah, no wonder it's a power bestowed by Lord Demon King. Such a high-grade ability."
The Fairy King was taken aback, thinking this to herself.
In the past, Dorothy had attempted transformations into demons, but the demonic mediums she used were never high-grade since those were exorbitantly expensive. As a poor little witch who was focused on saving up to buy a house, she couldn't afford them, generally relying on the teeth of lesser demons or the bones of low-level demons as her mediums.
