How much of viktor's new body is illusion and how much is just hexmaterial he controls as an extension of himself? I'm just thinking about how he kinda just willed away the clothes...where they never really there to begin with or were they just him shaping himself to look presentable?
Hihihi, that's a very good question!
I'm actually wondering the same thing tbh, because in canon Viktor has been given abilities that can probably be answered simply with ‘magic’. How does he manage to turn human bodies into machines? We see during the transformation that he randomly takes metal parts from the environment (?). But in the end, they merge with the body in a very visually appealing way.
The dolls at the end also all look pretty much the same - so he must have some kind of ability to turn flesh into metal. That made me think and come to the conclusion that he can probably influence materials as a mage now.
In my head, after his journey through the Arcane, he's fused with the rune that gives him the same abilities as the hexcore, just without the corruption. Which means he can still influence... bodies? Materials?
So I guess his body is real, infused with the Arcane (with its many scars), but he can mould environments to his liking. Like, he can also change Jayce's clothes. Pulverise, so to speak. Maybe reabsorb it as magical energy. Perhaps he can also conjure up clothes?
That all depends a bit on what abilities he has canon-wise. But as I understand it… Viktor can change materials 🙃
So unfortunately I have to take away the idea that he's permanently naked and his clothes are just an illusion 🤭 but who knows? Perhaps one day he will decide to give everyone only an illusion of himself? I'm sure he'd have a lot of fun with that!
