Thousand Faces

*If you hate who you are, change it.*

Thousand Faces is a mid-grade limited shapeshifting skill that does not require cosmic energy to maintain. It is one of the eighty-one F-Grade skills available on the first floor of the Towers of Myriad Dao; and the only ancillary one. It has a weakness in that it could not change your aura nor could the skill's proficiency be increased.

Still, he wasn’t done, and he activated a fractal that was placed on his throat. **Book 2, Page 369**

## Proficiency

* It was a shape-shifting skill, and something he’d decided to pick up after having seen how effective the priest infiltrators were. He was a high-profile person, and his appearance might cause unwanted trouble, and this was his solution. **Book 2, Page 369**
* As the skill actually changed the bone structure of someone, it didn’t take any energy to maintain, but a weakness was that it couldn’t change his aura. **Book 2, Page 370**
* There was no way he [*Zac*] would be able to pass as a woman, even with the help of **[Thousand Faces]**. There were limits to the skill, and it was not possible to change enough to pass as a woman except perhaps from a great distance. **Book 3, Page 484**

## Commentary

* His body suddenly was racked in pain, but he gritted his teeth and pushed through. In just a few seconds, he’d completely changed. He was now a few inches shorter, while his face had undergone a large transformation. **Book 2, Page 369**
* It was only one of the mid-grade skills, and it didn’t really fit his pathways very well. **Book 2, Page 369**
* The only reason that old man hadn’t been turned into mangled clumps of flesh yet was simply that Zac couldn’t find him, even after breaking into his mansion with the help of **[Thousand Faces]**. **Book 2, Page 510**
* He had decided to utilize **[Thousand Faces]** once more to become less threatening to the Everlasting Yang Sect. A middle-aged man defeating an elder was much more believable compared to a youngster. Perhaps they would think he was part of some other force otherwise. **Book 3, Page 496**
* Instead of using the easily recognizable **[Verun’s Bite]**, he would use the unassuming Spirit Tool sword [*aka, Hunger*] from the hunt along with his shield while changing his appearance with **[Thousand Faces]** [*in his Undead form*]. **Book 4, Page 34**
* The limits of the ocular skill were once again shining through, ... But he was still unable to get his hands on a better option, as the only ancillary skill that the lowest floor of his Dao Repository contained was **[Thousand Faces]**. **Book 4, Page 57**
* The skill was called **[Shared Identity]**, and it worked a bit differently compared to **[Thousand Faces]**. The skill he got from Pretty seemed to be able to create a greater transformation, where even one’s aura could be changed by a certain degree, but it came with only three “preloaded” identities. He could essentially take one of these three shared identities, but he wouldn’t be able to change his face as he wished like he could with **[Thousand Faces]**. **Book 5, Page 478**

## Replacement

While Thousand faces can be manually upgraded to E-Grade, the second floor of the Towers of Myriad Dao also had an E-Grade version called Million Faces.

* The first one that piqued Zac’s interest was actually an upgraded version of **[Thousand Faces]**, aptly named **[Million Faces]**. It worked similarly to the F-graded skill, but it gave a greater influence on modifications. **Book 6, Page 592**
