Four Split Personalities

Overlooking the yellowed pages of "Advanced Stage Magic Potion," a rare trace of seriousness flashed in Foster’s eyes.

The content above is problematic, yet not problematic at all.

It’s said to be problematic because the recorded content differs from Foster’s memory, and not just by a small margin.

In Foster’s impression, the Compound Water Agent is a more domineering potion that can directly alter the physical structure of a humanoid creature, temporarily transforming it into an existence identical to the ’raw material provider.’

Except for the brain, whether it’s height, weight, or skin color, muscle ratio, internal organs, even incomplete limbs and lesions, everything would be perfectly replicated by this potion.

For example, if Teresa drank what Foster considers a normal Compound Water Agent, then in the following hours, except for the brain unaffected by the potion, she would fully become Foster Ward, fundamentally transformed into a male Dark Elf.

But that’s not the case...

According to the current record in "Advanced Stage Magic Potion," although the Compound Water Agent is still a potion with a rather high preparation threshold, its effects are far less domineering compared to Foster’s memory. Simply put, this potion creates a ’shell’ that appears indistinguishable from ordinary people externally, and the appearance of the ’shell’ depends on the ’raw material provider.’

In other words, even if Teresa takes the Compound Water Agent, she still controls her own body, only putting on a layer named Foster Ward, except for looking exactly alike, everything else is superficial, without any essence.

Because of this, the book’s record on the Compound Water Agent even mentions ’only suitable for targets absolutely larger in size than the taker.’

To explain, the petite Teresa can transform into the tall and imposing Foster through the Compound Water Agent, but the latter cannot become the former by the same means.

And this limitation does not exist in Foster’s memory of the Compound Water Agent, in his impression, even a three-meter-high Ogre can become a Dwarf or goblin through this thing.

"One changes the essence, the other alters the appearance..."

Foster gently caressed the pages, murmuring thoughtfully: "The only possible reason that comes to mind is ethical issues, huh... Based on previous experiences, this absurd reason might really hold true."

He rubbed his brow in some frustration and casually flipped through the book "Advanced Stage Magic Potion" to the last page.

[Publication Date: Holy Calendar 8746, Month of Lan, Day of Prayer Sings 5]

Foster tugged at the corner of his mouth, withholding comment, after all, he’s not someone who indiscriminately makes sarcastic remarks in all situations.

Honestly, this kind of ’minor detail’ change has no impact on Foster at all, perhaps even offers a bit of benefit.

After all, the Compound Water Agent that exists only in Foster’s memory, whether in material needs or blending methods, is at least ten times more challenging conservatively than what’s recorded in the current book!

If that were the case, Foster truly wouldn’t be confident in preparing such a high-quality Compound Water Agent in just a few days; even if he could, he’d worry whether Teresa could withstand the extreme pain and discomfort during transformation.

But the problem isn’t here...

In Foster’s view, the issue has never been about whether he is ’convenienced’ on a subjective level, but why a potion with considerable status and wide popularity in the relevant domain suddenly changed its nature fundamentally.

Moreover, this change hasn’t caused any disturbance, as if... nothing has happened.

Foster even took time for a visit to the Alchemy Academy, quite famous even within Academy City, and discreetly consulted the Elf Deputy Dean, already seven hundred years old, about the Compound Water Agent.

The result of that visit was neither unexpected nor reasonable.

With just a few words, Foster was convinced that to the venerable Great Alchemist, with abundant both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, the Compound Water Agent recorded in "Advanced Stage Magic Potion" is genuine, without any room for doubt.

Not only that, when Foster tentatively expressed the real function of the Compound Water Agent in his memory in a ’hypothetical’ form, the old professor seemed startled and then remarked: "Apart from the brain, fully becoming another person? Oh, dear Ward, how could that be possible? Each of us is unique, if such a potion really existed, wouldn’t the uniqueness of life be broken?"

He’s lying. He doesn’t actually care about the uniqueness of life, let alone since the brain is unaffected, so the so-called uniqueness of life hasn’t been broken.

Foster understands this point well; in his view, the reason the old professor chooses to quickly end the topic in this manner is entirely because it’s an ’outlandish’ idea, simply unfit for higher-level discussions.
