Chapter 6: Chapter 05: Shapeshift
Inside his room, Náttúrumaður sat on his makeshift bed that was surprisingly comfortable. It's been 5 years that he reincarnated into this world and he has learned a lot about plants from his beloved draconic father, he was so invested in learning that he forgot to see his status even. He would check from time to time, but he never bothered to keep an eye on it very much because he knew It would just make him curious...

Normal adult humans have all stats at (10) when they are children their stats are normally below (10), which makes Nátt a very special kid! His [Wisdom] is even above human average, which is (12) for people between 50 to 80 years who use their brain for shit and aren't boomers. However, in Nátt's case, is his experience in his last life together with his willpower that makes his [Wisdom] so bigger compared to normal humans, the strongest power he has at the moment is the "Trunk" of his Skill Tree, the powerful [Druidic Magic], which he is learning.
Right now he had some experiments he needed to do.
He wanted to learn every single [Level 0 Spell] out that he can think of, and the best way to do that is to draw inspiration from a Dnd! The famous DnD Cantrips such as [Light], [Firebolt], [Dancing Lights], [Message], [Frostbite], and others. He remembers playing DnD with a few of the kids he helped on the foster homes he would visit regularly to help as a volunteer there, he was the DM so he knew some things about the classes and even had a character he would never play from each class. He loved spell casters in DnD, but he knew that he couldn't limit himself to just that, he would use those spells and even use them as a base and then create his spells and cantrips.
Náttúrumaður sighed as his fingers brushed against his silky smooth hair, he got to maintain smooth hair by washing it daily or having his father groom him. Dragons like to groom their youngsters or at least his father did, he would act like a cat... Well, at least he discovered the effects of [Dragon Saliva] on things!
Like the simpler effects such as making his hair smoother like silk, which was a very surprising outcome that he could use as a product to was his hair with. Hey, is not disgusting! [Dragon Saliva] is not different from water, if you put both sides by side, you would easily get confused by them, the only difference is that [Dragon Saliva] tastes disgusting...
How does he know this? He accidentally placed a jar of water and a jar of [Dragon Saliva] side by side and forgot which was which... In the end, he drank some [Dragon Saliva] which tasted awful but had some magical effects, maybe it was because the saliva was from an Ancient Forest Dragon, but it had some effects. Drinking directly caused some magical outburst that made several flowers grow on his skin and hair... It was painless, but it also felt strange having roots on your body, he could pluck them out painlessly as well. And before you say that is strange, he almost threw up after knowing he drank that, but he was also fascinated by the effects of the saliva so he decided to study its plant stimuli inducement properties.
With that, he was able to create the [Potion of Growth] with the ability to create a whole 10 meters by 10 meters small forest in a cubic formation, this potion can be also used to fortify plants and help them grow faster, having the same effect as the [Plant Growth] spell! This was an amazing discovery that Náttúrumaður will keep in his book along with all the other discoveries and information he has about the magical properties of plants and their effects on potions. With a small smile on his face, Nátt left his room after remembering something he wanted to do today!
He wanted to try [Shapeshift] for the first time.
His father was on the deep part of the cave so he headed to the entrance, the sun was slowly setting is he still had some daylight left to practice it, minor animals first! His father turned his head and decided to watch what he would do, ready to help if necessary! His body started to shake as he felt a slight amount of pain as his body shifted, his skin turning into fur, his arms turning into featherless wings, and his vision going almost blind... He transformed himself into a bat! His eyes returned back to his human vision, that was because he was not a bat, but a magically transformed human in the body of a bat using his magic. His father almost had a heart attack, even though his heart didn't work like that, it would! "Náttúrumaður Grænn!" His father's blowing voice echoed from the cave, making the small bat shiver in sudden fright, he turned his head towards the source of the voice and his fear intensified when he saw his father really close to him! Like, really close. He was small, the size of a baby bat, so he was of course adorable and fluffy.
"Dad!" He called out, his voice came out a small and weak cry of a bat, which sounded cute, but his father was buying none of that! Shapeshifting is one of the most dangerous things you can do! He was there to stop him if something went wrong, since Yggdrasil believes that you should encourage your children to try new things, but try a powerful type of magic as soon as your magic stabilizes!? Reckless! "You listen here you adorable little bat, what you were doing was extremely dangerous to you!" Well, he would help if anything bad happened, but still was dangerous. "Don't try that again, even if you succeeded this time, it doesn't mean you will next time, okay! You can only try that again when i'm nearby, or when I give you permission to. Okay?" His voice grew to a gentle tone, creating a slight gentle breeze on the small bat's wings that carried the bay up the dragon's head, between his horns, just below the green orb of energy that was soothing to see.
This orb was Yggdrasil's secondary magical core, he was technically a dragon, but his body was not organic, he was made from wood so he was technically a Golem and a Dragon at the same time. Sure, his body was unnaturally dexterous, sure, Yggdrasil could take a humanoid form, but he was still a dragon! "But we still must celebrate this... Your first time taking the form of another creature! Ah, i didn't know my son was such a magical prodigy!" This went on for a while, Yggdrasil praising but also repremanding Náttúrumaður, although his happy tone could not be hidden, his words carried a heavy weight that made Nátt think twice before changjng into another shape in the future.
