A young woman tries to create a duplication spell to clone herself, but the spell backfires and gives her a second head and extra arms instead.

Once upon a time, there lived a young woman named Eleanor in a small distant village. From a very young age, Eleanor had been fascinated by the world of alchemy, the ancient art of transformation and creation, a fascination she inherited from her grandmother, who was a well-known alchemist in their small tranquil community. When her grandmother passed away, Eleanor took up the mantle and began training to be an alchemist. A 2nd-year alchemy apprentice, Eleanor was well-known for her ceaseless ambition and tireless work ethic. She found herself longing for more time. More time to research, more time to experiment, more time to improve her skills. She surmised that if she could clone herself, she would have twice the time and could become twice the alchemist. She knew that her task was a dangerous one. However, Eleanor wasn't one to shy away from challenges, so she began her diligent studies seeking the creation of a "Duplication Spell". Weeks turned into months, and months into a year. She read thousands of ancient manuscripts and spent countless hours practicing the arcane formula and symbols to perfect the spell. Finally, believing she had decoded the mystery of the spell, she prepared her alchemical workspace. Eleanor mixed potions, recited incantations, and worked her magic craft with the finest of care. With a deep breath, she cast her spell with the hope of seeing two identical Eleanor's at the end of it. But instead of the perfect copy she hoped for, Eleanor felt a sudden and unimaginable pain. Instead of seeing her clone, she saw an extra set of arms protruding from her sides. Looking at her shockingly similar arms, she let out a baffled gasp. Everything turned dizzy, and she blacked out. When she woke up, Eleanor was not alone in her thoughts. Now, an extra head was perched on her shoulder, identical to hers in every way and mirroring her every expression. It didn’t take her long to realize that the spell had indeed worked… just not quite as expected. Eleanor was initially horrified by the transformation. Yet, as days passed, she discovered that with every problem comes a unique solution. Her extra pair of hands perfected her existing skills, enabling her to work on multiple tasks simultaneously, which was exactly what she had hoped for. She could read and write alchemical formulas at the same time, concoct two potions simultaneously, and even perform two spells at once. Moreover, the second head which held her thoughts and memories, provided an unanticipated benefit- companionship. Her second head shared the same passion and ambition for alchemy, and they could converse, share ideas, and challenge each other in their learning. So despite the initially unexpected results, Eleanor came to realize that the bizarre turn of events was, in fact, a blessing in disguise. Her increased productivity in alchemy was unparalleled and she became the most successful alchemist in her village, and probably, the most unusual one. Eleanor indeed became a legend, not just for her unique appearance but also for her extraordinary alchemy skills. And that is the story of Eleanor, the four-armed, two-headed alchemist—the tale of a young alchemist’s quest for duplication that turned her into a unique marvel, reminding everyone that sometimes, being different can truly make a difference.
