"Not that I'm aware of."

"Seems worth knowing. Though I don't need a rank for that?" He does want a rank of Portals. Being able to add ingredients to a potion while standing across the room will make his life so much simpler!

"Nope, just getting a familiar is rank zero."

"Then I will try it without the rank and maybe spruce up the critter later, I guess... I can imagine the transmutation being a bit more flexible than it sounds, but are the examples just examples or are they literal limits on what the hexes can do?"

"The specific hexes can only do those things. You can learn other hexes at those levels, but you have to learn them from someone or something; they don't just come free with the purchase of the rank."

"Are we talking secretive enclaves in the Andes, or..."

Snort. "I'm sure there are secret enclaves in all sorts of Andes who have hexes they aren't teaching anyone, but there are also hexes that they teach right here at the college you are standing in. And Hawthorne, which is another magic school. And plenty of other places."

"Nice." That's double affinity, he'll take three ranks of it to get underway with. Five ranks of alchemy right off the bat is expensive as hell, so he'll start with... two, in case that improves his odds of reverse-engineering the elusive Andean ingredient. He buys very conservatively, really, and then starts poking wild magic.

There is so much wild magic! He can receive bubbles about this too, if he likes. Would he like a different race's mana gain? Would he like to be a mime? Would he like to keep his penis?

YES HE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HIS PENIS WHAT THE HELL

Witches default female! You can hex on whatever equipment you like temporarily, but it's like the nipple thing, your true form will out in the end. 

AUGH

ANYWAY

He is all over Poisoner, seems like that might be popular among wizards. He wants Witchflames. He wants Energized. He wants Prestidigitation. "How are spirit construct spoons at stirring things that will melt any normal spoon?"

"They aren't made of a stuff to melt."

"That's what I thought!" Yes he will be a mime. Beauty Sleep is tempting but he will see how his sleep habits shake out now that he can sleep in a normal bed and get mana doing it. Mood Weather should be one of the Principle-of-Balance bad things, why is it here. - Levitation is incredibly cheap at the price, wow, that must be how May is floating all the time?

"Wulongs can also, separately, fly, but that takes effort and it is incredibly cheap at the price so yes."

"And I'm not one so it's even more of a no-brainer for me." Poke poke poke why would he want soul jellies poke poke he's not eligible for this one poke poke neither of Bella nor May would ever speak to him again poke poke. "Does hybridizing require ancestry of the relevant type?"

"Usually it would but this can be gotten around with potions."

"...say on?"

"High-ranking potions can change someone's species, including in conjunction with abilities like Hybrid and Transformation Sequence. Lucy's dad Transforms into a dravir, now."

"So I can't hybridize into anything now but if I want to be something later I can brew something about it?"

"Actually, I can administer a potion non-physically as part of the awakening experience."

"...oh, and you just have them on hand?"

"The extent to which I, in my aspect as a goddess, 'have' something in the physical sense can be complicated. But for the present purposes let's go with yes."
