One of the least extreme examples of such were souls that added two additional ar four swords at once was a good idea But thecentaur's soul that a strea him to explode in popularity It made him much worse as a player as his entire lower half was replaced by a horse's body, but he becaas or in Merlin's case, tentacle-like vines, would require a lot of practice, but Merlin wasn't sure if he wanted to swap out his current origin soul for it If he did, he would lose one strength, two agility and the sucker-punch skill But the twelve percent increase to status resistance almost made it worth it alone He was torn, but decided that he'd try out the new skill out later to see if he liked it enough to swap
