Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi felt that the palm of her hand was getting hotter and hotter, as if what she was holding in her hand was not a pheasant feather, but a heating rod.

But she didn't dare open her eyes, as her magic power consumption hadn't yet reached a critical point, conveying accurate information to her. If she opened her eyes at this moment, her attention would be distracted by the scene before her, and her attempt to assign the "Phoenix" concept to the feather in her hand would most likely fail.

No, to be precise, it is almost impossible to succeed.

So Lin Zhenxi could only be patient, endure the heat surging in his palms, and look forward to the arrival of the critical point of magic power consumption.

The heat in his hands kept increasing, but fortunately it did not reach the level that would burn people. It was still within Lin Zhenxi's acceptable range, but it was getting closer and closer to the critical point.

This is the concrete embodiment of the concept of "Phoenix" that Lin Zhenxi gave to this feather. The body of the phoenix is ​​covered with a special flame that is hot but will not burn human skin under normal circumstances. This is the property of the phoenix that Lin Zhenxi understands. She is trying to make the feather in her hand get as close to the concept of "Phoenix" as possible, and the heat possessed by the feather is a good reference benchmark.

Hotter, hotter...

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxi's already fading magic power suddenly disappeared. At the same time, she felt as if her hand was holding a piece of red-hot charcoal, so hot that she quickly threw the feather away.

It worked! Although she was a little worried about whether her hands were burned, Lin Zhenxi still felt very happy. She opened her eyes...

He saw the floor of his office begin to burn due to the flames attached to the feathers that had become mysterious objects.

Shit, something seems to be wrong!

Lin Zhenxi quickly drew out her wand to put out the fire, but at this time she inevitably noticed that her dominant hand was not burned by holding the burning feather, and there was not even a single red mark.

What the hell is this...

Forget it, I can’t care about so many things. Putting out the fire is the most important thing right now.

Lin Zhenxi waved his wand and released the Spring Spell. A torrent of water spurted out from the front of the wand and hit the feather accurately.

In fact, when casting the spell, Lin Zhenxi was a little worried about what would happen if her spell directly extinguished the fire on the feather, but the reality was that she was completely overthinking it. Those flames were eternal fires that could burn directly in water.

At the same time, it also displayed even more miraculous aspects. For example, its combustion was completely smokeless. The ignited floor appeared charred, yet no smoke was produced. Even the clear water that Lin Zhenxi had conjured with the spell was rapidly decreasing, yet no steam was produced.

There is something wrong with this flame. It doesn't seem to be burning, but rather absorbing the surrounding matter through contact to strengthen itself.

Like a flame with vitality, this thought suddenly appeared in Lin Zhenxi's mind.

If that's the case... Lin Zhenxi waved his wand and pushed the water he created with the Clear Spring Spell to the door, then pointed his wand at the burning area in front of him, which had expanded to more than one square meter.

"Magic Shackles"

Several rings appeared out of thin air, tightly enclosing the flame centered on the burning feather from various planes: horizontal, vertical, diagonal thirty, and sixty degrees. The rings then began to tumble around the feather, each evolving into a different cross-section of the outer shell, forming a multi-layered sphere that tightly trapped the flame.

After completing the blockade, Lin Zhenxi raised his wand, and the sphere shifted with it, moving from the ground to the sky. The flames inside the sphere were forced to move with it, reluctantly leaving the flammable floor and transforming into a layer of flames clinging to the feathers.

On the floor, only a circle of burnt marks remained. Not only was there no flame, but even no heat remained.

On this feather, flame is no longer a physical phenomenon, a chemical reaction that releases heat, but has become a whole that can devour and expand, and can be completely extracted without leaving any sparks.

What was this? A fire slime? Even if it was a fire slime, it wouldn't be able to recycle the flames that fell from its body.

What an interesting way of existence. What on earth have I created?

But before studying the strange objects he had created, Lin Zhenxi needed to clean up the mess he had made.

“Restored to its original state”

With a simple repair spell, the floor, which had been burned, or more accurately, eaten by flames, returned to its original state. At the same time, Lin Zhenxi also noticed that the flame burning on the feather she had sealed had suddenly become much smaller, with only a thin layer remaining on the surface.

Because of the repair spell, were the substances that were eaten by it and transformed into flames also cleared away by the world's repair power?

Oh Moses Roy!

Lin Zhenxi found this thing really interesting. It seemed to have the ability to transform matter into flames. But here, the flame was a whole, able to grow and difficult to separate. It really was like an independent life.

Come and show me what you are. Lin Zhenxi rubbed his hands and began to study the flame with great interest.

She tried feeding it some combustible materials, and then she saw that the flames attached to the feathers immediately showed obvious distribution differences as if they smelled something. They tried to get closer to the combustible materials and happily ignited them, turning them into nutrients for their own growth.

Then Lin Zhenxi began to test its extinguishing conditions. After trying methods including isolating it from oxygen, vacuuming it, and flooding it with water, Lin Zhenxi concluded that this flame seemed to be impossible to extinguish. Although it existed in the form of a flame, it was definitely not a flame.

Burning steadily in water wasn't a big deal; many things could burn in water. Burning even without oxygen was also quite normal; some flames simply spontaneously generated, requiring no external conditions. But after Lin Zhenxi evacuated the air, the flame not only didn't die, but instead rapidly expanded like a balloon, quickly becoming very thin but still filling the entire sealed light sphere. This was quite interesting.

This once again confirmed Lin Zhenxi's guess, that is, this ball of flame is a whole, it only exists in the form of flame, but its essence is some kind of life form.

It's very interesting, but Lin Zhenxi hasn't forgotten her original purpose. She wanted to turn this pheasant feather into a phoenix feather. Now that she has made this thing, her experiment must have failed, right?

Moreover, what Lin Zhenxi ultimately needed was the ashes after the phoenix burned. Even if this feather was really given the concept of "phoenix" by her, she didn't even know how to extinguish the flame, let alone burn it to ashes.

After all, it is already a ball of fire now, how else can it burn?

Although he created a very magical life-like organism, Lin Zhenxi's experiment ended in failure, which made Lin Zhenxi feel a little frustrated.

But Lin Zhenxi quickly cheered up. It was just a failure. Her attempts had just begun, and even this first attempt could not be said to be fruitless. There was no need to be discouraged. She could just keep working hard.

Since it is possible to give objects mystery by praying to magic, then try more and figure out the trick. Lin Zhenxi believes that sooner or later he will be able to create magical materials that can replace the Phoenix Ashes in this way.

Then... continue?

But before that, Lin Zhenxi had to deal with this unextinguishable flame. But how?

Yes, use the Fierce Fire Curse. The Fierce Fire Curse can burn anything, including flames. It is just right to use the Fierce Fire Curse to clean up this kind of non-combustible garbage.

If it weren't for the fact that the essence of the Fiery Flame was boiling malice, Lin Zhenxi was afraid that things contaminated by the Fiery Flame Curse would undergo negative changes in nature. She actually wanted to try burning the feather with the Fiery Flame to see if she could get ashes.

The use of Fiery Flame requires extreme caution. Although there is a counter-curse to the Fiery Flame Curse, the counter-curse can only contain the Fiery Flame. Things burned by the Fiery Flame cannot be repaired. Even the repair spell is useless. Time travel is required.

Lin Zhenxi carefully controlled a handful of fierce fire and sent it directly into the seal.

Feeling the fierce fire approaching, the group of flame-like life forms seemed to be frightened. They retreated to the side of the feathers, huddled together, and then bared their fangs and claws at the blue-black fierce fire, as if trying to scare it away.

It looked quite interesting, not a very bright one. Lin Zhenxi suddenly didn't want to destroy it anymore. It didn't seem like a big deal to just keep it like this?

Lin Zhenxi retracted the Fiery Flame, glanced at the flames, which seemed to be leaping with joy at having frightened off a powerful enemy, then opened the "company" in-app purchase platform and purchased a glass jar. Two or three minutes later, the jar arrived at her door. Lin Zhenxi carried it back from the door, opened it, and cast a fire-resistant barrier on the inside. Then, she compressed the magic seal into a ball and placed it inside the glass jar.

Then, Lin Zhenxi removed the magic seal wrapped around the feather and placed it in a glass jar.

It can be seen that this ball of fire is very curious about this new environment. It stretches to the left and explores to the right, getting familiar with this new environment.

Although it was born not long ago.

Looking at the little flame in the glass jar, Lin Zhenxi felt like she had a pet that was easy to take care of. She just didn't know if it would die if she didn't feed it anything combustible.

Never mind, that's all. Lin Zhenxi found a separate compartment for it, away from her scroll cabinet, but still within easy reach when she looked up from behind the desk. That way, she wouldn't forget to feed it when she was around.

As for when Lin Zhenxi is not around? That all depends on how lucky it is.

A ball of flame that died of starvation, that sounds quite interesting.
