'''Assimilation'''

The assimilation Process that any living or dead body that enter in the Fortress is a short process that usually don't take more than a few minutes to the weaker souls, but could take a few days to the stronger magical souls. The process it's automated and the new Legion soldier will undergo a process where most of his body will be mutated by both enchantment magic and the addition of new limbs and organs to replace the old ones. According to the Fortress needs, the new member will be assigned to either the Fortress crew (construction, maintenance or helping around to fire cannons) or to the shock troops.

If the being it's specially large or has a powerful magical soul, it can be either used as a living weapon or even a Legion member. This process is slower, and it's supervised by Legion Elders, who are in charge of the brainwashing but without losing the own ideas and consciousness of the subject (in the first process you simply become a mindless machine that follows simple orders, like shoot, repair, attack, walk...).

Then, if the Elder thinks that it can be suited as a Legion Member, it will go under a long process of transformation, to create the monstrous beings that are in charge of the Fortresses. Many special reinforced steel layers are added, and only a few original organs remains. The brain and other minor functions are inserted in a special new container that will server as a shell to the new Legion member.

During this process, the new Legion member is put in a coma state, and a nullification spell is cast in the rooms where the transformation is being done. Only after the brainwashing is finished and the poor soul is installed into his new body, mind and soul will be linked to the Elder in charge of his transformation, and later linked to the Legion Hivemind, where it will dissolute in a sea of thoughts and consciousness. 

For the great beings that are not suited for being Legion Members, either because they're not strong enough to endure the process or because their strong attributes proprieties would do better as living weapon in the battlefield. For these beings, they go a similar brainwashing similar to the Legion soldiers, but instead of being mindless, a new and clean ideas are put in place of the old ones, to do better at the task that they are assigned. 

Again, similar to the transformation process of the Soldiers, the new living weapons will undergo an automatic process of transformation, adding and removing limbs and organs to suit better as the Fortress' interests.

'''Duplication'''

The most common way for a new Legion member is to be born is to be created as a duplicated of an existing Legion member during the process of duplication of a Fortress carried by a Finger. This method consists in a Fortress using the energy of a star to rip the reality and open a shortcut to the magical substrate. As long as the star energies are drained, the Fortress can keep the fissure opened. Once the star is complete drained up and it disappears from the existence, the fissure does so. 

With this energy, the Fortress can both store it to use it later offensively, or duplicate itself. The duplication process can be carried out while the Fortress is extracting energy without slowing the process.  This process is slow and takes over a month. Shall it be interrupted, and the new Fortress and all its inhabitants will become raw magic energy again, leading to a great explosion equal to the energy extracted. 

The new duplicate members will be added to the Hivemind, and will have the same exact qualities and attributes that its original, but it can develop entirely different, since they're both separate beings. Also, the Hivemind can store an old memory from a lost Legion Member into a duplicate body, instead of duplicating its consciousness.
