This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Skill cost: 12

Required intelligence: 18

Item Description: Designated by the Magic Hall Zhige,

One of the forbidden magics that is forbidden to use.

Able to weave spiritual threads to form puppet arms for attack.

After hitting the enemy, it can temporarily disrupt their actions.

It can be used continuously and the puppet hand's existence time can be extended by charging.

During their long research on puppets, puppeteers discovered that:

The uncontrolled free puppets all have a common master,

That is the true evil spirit that has been granted life.

"Ok?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi couldn't help scratching his head.

"What is a puppet?"

"Puppet?"

The old man sipping his tea looked up and became slightly serious.

"That's the fundamental reason why puppet magic is considered forbidden magic!"

Chapter 474 [“Puppet Swordsman” Narli] and [New Moon Inquiry Technique]

"Why is it considered forbidden magic?"

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi once again lowered his head to glance at the item description, and said thoughtfully:

"Could it be because of the true knowledge of the evil spirit?"

"Uh?"

The old magician was puzzled and frowned suddenly.

"Wait a minute, Master, what do you mean by this? What does this have to do with the True Knowledge of Evil Spirits?"

"You do not know?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned. Although the item did not contain much description, he could still infer some information.

For example, "puppet" means "an uncontrolled free puppet."

But puppets are things controlled by magicians and cannot be controlled, which means they have their own ideas and can act freely.

To put it another way, it is a magical version of "Omnic Crisis".

The source of this crisis, the culprit that caused the puppet to escape the magician's control, was a true evil spirit that was suspected to be the puppet's magic.

Later, when he heard the old man mention forbidden magic, Ye Yiyi thought that this was the reason why puppet magic was classified as forbidden magic.

But he didn't even know the existence of the true evil spirit?

"I really don't know."

The old man shook his head, put down his teacup, and began to explain:

"The Palace of Stopping War and the Imperial Academy each have different standards for judging forbidden magic.

“The Imperial Academy’s standards are less stringent and do not allow magical research that violates universal moral standards.

"In short, as long as you don't use living people as experimental materials when studying magic, the Academy won't interfere.

"In comparison, due to the crystallization disaster, the standards of the Zhige Hall are stricter.

"But in short, any magic that has caused large-scale magical disasters must not be learned or spread."

"A large-scale magical disaster..."

Ye Yiyi seemed to understand something, "For example, a puppet?"

"That's right." Halwell nodded.

“In the empire’s initial industrial plan, we intended to follow the practices of ancient countries and use puppets as a substitute for ancient slaves.

"But unfortunately, during a subsequent experiment, the puppets collectively lost control and attacked the city, killing a large number of civilians and workers, causing considerable damage."

It seems that the appearance of the true evil spirit caused the puppet to lose control.

The puppet magic that has gained life can naturally bypass the human who uses the magic and forcibly seize control of the puppet.

I just don't know what kind of magic that true evil spirit is.

"So puppet magic is listed as forbidden magic." Ye Yiyi muttered to himself, and suddenly became a little confused.

"Since it is forbidden magic that cannot be learned or spread, why did the bricklayer still share it with me?"

Hearing this, the old man pursed his lips and resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Because this is the southern border, it's beyond the reach of the Empire and the Broad Academy.

“In addition, magicians with the title of Master are not affected by taboos and can freely learn and study all kinds of forbidden magic.

"That is to say, no matter what type of forbidden magic it is, Master, you are free to study and research it."

"But the problem is that I don't have the title of master." Ye Yiyi spread his hands innocently.

Halville wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said with an awkward smile:

"Haha, haha, Master, you really know how to joke...

"Titles and all that are empty, but Master, your achievements are all real and true...

"Those arrogant library magicians who control forbidden magic dare not even fart in front of you, who once killed gods!"

Halville suddenly became very excited, as if he was the god-killing magician.

"In the final analysis, whoever has the bigger fist is right." Ye Yiyi sighed slightly.

The so-called power you possess is the reason for becoming king.

If he ignored the red tape, he could easily overthrow the entire Zhige Hall overnight.

In this case, who would dare to care what forbidden magic he learns?

"But it seems that from now on I can use these forbidden magics at will without any worries."

He thought to himself, looking down at the paper recording the puppeteer's movements.

This magic can interfere with the enemy's actions and can be considered a control effect.

It may be useful not only in combat but also in other critical moments.

In addition, since it does not consume much mana, it may be added to the ranks of essential magic for advancing maps.

Then continue to watch the next magic.

【Spiritual Thread Body】

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 25

Required intelligence: 20

Item Description: Designated by the Magic Hall Zhige,

A type of puppet magic that is forbidden.

Can weave spiritual silk threads to cover the whole body,

Force your body to act according to your thoughts.

But the body is easily harmed by actions that exceed its capabilities.

If you want to control the puppet's movements precisely, it's as easy as controlling your arms and fingers.

You must first become a puppet of your own pure will.

"This magic is interesting."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi suddenly became interested.

Manipulate your own body like a puppet?

According to the instructions, it seems that one can make the body perform various behaviors and movements beyond the limit according to one's will.

If I had obtained this magic before I comprehended the Spirit of Supreme Emotion, would I have been able to continue fighting even when being suppressed by my true nature?

“What a pity…”

It's a pity that I got this magic a little late, and now it seems to be of no use.

"Let's find time to try it later to see the specific effects."

He put the paper down and looked at the next piece of magic.

【Golden Rock Puppet Master】

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 24

Required intelligence: 24

Item Description: Designated by the Magic Hall Zhige,

A type of puppet magic that is forbidden.

Able to weave spiritual silk threads to create huge physical puppet hands,

It can be used for attack, defense or other purposes.

After receiving a certain amount of damage, the puppet hand will disappear.

Puppetry, which extends from puppet magic,

It is a special form of magic used exclusively in combat.

It is said that this is also one of the fighting methods of the Soul-Controlling Cursed Silkworm.

"This magic is about a giant hand emerging from the ground and hitting people..."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and felt that this form might be somewhat similar to the BOSS [Winged Man Whispering] he had encountered before.

They all summon hands from the ground or rock walls to attack.

"Well, it can be considered a multifunctional magic..." Ye Yiyi thought to himself.

There's no need to explain the attack method, but as for defense, it might be able to block ranged attacks, and it can also create a foothold on a nearly vertical cliff.

If the puppet hand is big enough, it may be able to control and stop large monsters.

If combined with his [Magic Spirit] characteristic, perhaps the puppet hand can judge the situation on its own and perform various actions?

"It seems I have to try it myself later."

The intelligence requirements of these three puppet magics are not high. Although the effects are unique, they still need to be developed.

"No wonder the bricklayer gave me an extra magic."

Maybe it feels that the value is not enough to offset the Shenling Magic Puppet Axis.

Then pick up the extra magic given by the bricklayer and take a look.

"what?"

Seeing the light curtain, Ye Yiyi let out a light exclamation, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

"This magic?"
