After drinking the potion and waiting ten minutes for it to work and bring my head back to normal, I began to think about the results of the analysis.
The essence of the spell complex to create the Shadow Architect is quite simple. In modern terms, from the flesh and energy of the victim, increased with the help of not the most painless death and part of the ritual scheme, a pseudo-intelligent entity is created that can manipulate the transfiguration of space and matter. Through spells and corresponding images, a special, I would even say, a unique scheme of transfiguration is laid, controlled by a built-in mental block.
The essence of uniqueness is the absence of a specific subject of transfiguration and the limitation on the final result. Classical transfiguration involves clear visual contact with an object or its visualization. For example, there is a solid cube of granite with an iron sphere inside in front of you. You can transfigure both the cube and the orb at the same time, seeing the cube, but relying only on your vision, you cannot transfigure the orb without affecting the cube. However, if you know that there is an orb inside and are able to visualize it in your mind, then even without visual contact, but with the exact direction of the contour of the spell by means of a wand or will to the location of the orb inside the cube, it can be transfigured without problems. Here the unknown master has surpassed himself and probably all contemporaries - the visualization of the idea of the shadow itself is laid in the mental block. As a result, the subject of transfiguration becomes everything that fits the mental mold of the image of this idea. On the other hand, a limitation came out of considerations of saving the magic inherent in the Architect - only the transformation of the object is used for transfiguration. And here is the trick - transformation through the transfiguration of space.
Such an approach, specifically, in this case, works murderously well. For example, a disk hangs in the air and casts a round shadow on the ground, and the space between them forms a kind of cone. Transformation through the transfiguration of space allows you to literally grow anything from a shaded circle on the earth within the formed cone, while the grown object due to the transfiguration of space will simultaneously be both matter and not. That is, for the mental block of the Architect, it will be a matter with which he can, for example, pierce the target, but the target cannot affect him. Only with magic. At the same time, the consumption of magic for manipulations is lower, compared to the same manipulations performed by a wizard — this is due to the fact that there are no unnecessary thoughts in the mental block. He does not need to concentrate to filter them out, and so on, tied to consciousness.
However, due to the fact that only something with a soul can consciously use magic, the Architect is mentally connected to the creator-wizard for the successful completion of the task. Apparently, the Architect uses the crumbs of the mind and the fact that there is a soul for the targeted use of his capabilities. Otherwise, he would simply transfigure everything that falls under the mental image into arbitrary structures. So, in essence, the Shadow Architect is also a pseudo-material artifact that will not work without a wizard or a soul.
Realizing the information I received from Rowena, I immediately made acceptable adjustments to the spells, changing them slightly. Now, instead of one sacrifice, you can bring three, and the Architect himself will not be a pseudo-material, but a completely material ball the size of a football. But before we start preparing...
Rowena, try to materialize my Sword.
<Intriguing...>
I simply stretched my hand out to the side without doing anything else, and after a brief moment, it was covered in a bloody film for a moment, which immediately flowed to my palm, forming my Spirit Sword. Without a doubt — this is it.
<Easy.>
Well done, Rowena.
Dispelling the Sword, I pulled out three figurines of werewolves from my pocket. I returned them to their human form with a reverse spell from the Grimoire, immediately paralyzing them with magic with a wand. Just three unpleasant-looking wizards in rags. They are quite old for werewolves and clearly share the bloodlust of their animal essence — it was literally showed on their faces. Well, when I was in a state of split consciousness and smashed that vile office of dark dealers, oddly enough, I punished only the guilty, somehow realizing that they were complete bastards. The arguments were simple — no one will worry about them because these are real maniacs, and they are alive only due to kickbacks to DMLE employees and aurors. Corruption is everywhere…
With a wave of my wand, I stacked the bodies on top of each other, and with the second, I started transfiguration from living to living, creating a single organism from them without any special changes. Quite strange Siamese twins turned out, well, it\'s okay.
