Garner watches Wilfan and Elizabeth take their places.
He stops and stares taking it all in...“Kaida...can you instruct me...these...seem specific...I’m nervous...I fear something will happen if I choose wrong.”
(To be honest I was least certain about what glyph might go with Garner, but I went with a wolf. If you can think of a more fitting symbol I'll retcon it!)
Go for the circle that calls out to you; or if you're really nervous, let the others find their circles and take the one that is left over!
Wilfan stop short of stepping on to his glyph. He bends down staring at it. His finger traces the smaller figure, this was obviously him. It who the. Was the larger figure? ”Kiada, what happens to us if we step on these?”
Don't worry, young Wilfan; I promise that the effects of the ritual are completely reversible, you're just going to be introduced to a side of yourself you never knew you had!
Jean takes a moment to take in the room, as his companions take their places around the circle, anxiety creeping in at the prospect of undergoing a magical transformation. Then his eyes settle on the glyph with the rose on it.
The memory of a dream, a magical dream of moonlight and roses and otherworldly beauty, is brought to the forefront of his mind.
His body moving on it's own accord, he gives in to the powerful pull the glyph has over him as he takes his place on it.
”I suppose that just leaves this magical symbol, I'm somewhat of a magical researcher, so this is quite fitting” Feth says before stepping onto the magical glyph, with his notepad still in hand, writing right now, and ready to write whatever happens next.
Feth closes his eyes, searching for something, anything, when he finds it, a small smile comes across his face, before he opens his eyes again, he then waits, nervous, then speaks his magical phrase ”Abra Kadabra!”. And as soon as he speaks that phrase, his black, feather-like hair grows long, wrapping around his entire body, before attaching to his skin, covering his whole body in black feathers, he then opens his eyes wide, surprised at what has happened, looking around, first at himself, seeing his wings and talons, then his new companions, shocked, but also excited at what is happening, he then panics for a second, reaching for his notepad, which he finds, as his clothes are still there, he then puts it away, knowing he can write later, and right now he needs to just understand what’s happening ”W-what happened to me?” Feth says to Kaida
Close your eyes, and search deep inside yourself, for the hidden facet of your being that you do not yet know.
Open your eyes; you now know the magic words that unlock your heroic spirit!
Speak those words with courage, and reveal to the world what you have locked inside!
Hearing those words, Jean cannot help the self-doubt and insecurity seeping in, disbelieving of the notion that he possessed a heroic spirit. Then his mind returns to that beautiful place- That place of his dreams.
He sees a shadowy forest, mysterious and silent, standing all around him. He sees a single red rose, standing solitary under the full moon. He sees a woman, beautiful beyond compare. And he is at peace.
Standing peacefully in place, his face is the picture of serenity. Eyes still shut, he utters: "Beauty, Strength, Grace- the virtues of Lady Firehair." A scarlet flame blossoms at his feet, embers swirling gently around him, drifting like rose petals in the breeze. Slowly, they settle on him, covering Jean's form in a crimson glow. Then, in a shining flash of red, they vanish, leaving a man clad in armor in their place. Bright red eyes glow fiercely, from underneath the man's visor. Where Jean Cervantes once stood, Gallant Rose stood in his place.
As Garner stands on the wolf glyph he feels an ancient power...
"BY THE POWER OF COLDSPEAR...I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRRR!" He yells raising his club into the air...
A swarm of ravens appears consuming Garner...lightning strikes his club, disintegrating the swarm in a blinding blue flash...lightning surges through his body and exits into the earth. Once the flash fades the appearance of glitter hangs in the air momentarily..there stands Garner, his club transformed into an axe, a horned helm sits upon his head, his clothes have been reduced to nothing more than blue bedazzled rags...upon his back rests a green pack...
Coldspear watches Wilfan, Elizabeth and Jean transform...he says "Whoah ho...wasn't that a show."
Closing his eyes Wilfan held the image beneath his feet in his mind. He tried to focus on the smaller figure and in doing so to look inward as he had been instructed but he was drawn to the larger figure. He took a breath and let himself be pulled by the image. His eyes snapped open as he quietly said “Traust Gýgr Fegrð Veðr Steinn”
Pink light enveloped Wilfan and then grew. As the light fades a new figure stands in Wilfan’s place. A Goliath woman with pale pink skin and vibrant pink hair. Holding a staff with translucent pink cloth flowing from the top. Her eyes alone reveal the connection to the small gnome whom she had replaced. The same bright blue as Wilfan’s.
”Finally! Time to have some fun!” She flicks the end of her staff slightly toward Coldspear and a peel of thunder erupts behind him. She bursts out laughing “Sorry, I couldn’t resist.” A devilish grin painted across her face.
Elizabeth had heard Kaida in her head, nodding as she then closed her eyes and searched for it. She wasn't sure what she was looking for until she saw it, an elegant and regal woman in black and red with roses that had a commanding aura that demanded respect. The woman was holding the black viol, whispering to her as she now realized what she needed to do. She opened her eyes and immediately drew out the black viol, remembering the words she needed to speak. "Heed my words and bow before me, for I am above all!" Elizabeth called out and instinctively played the viol as an entrancing melody came from it. Music notes along with red and black rose petals swirled around her, parts of her transforming one by one until finally it is complete. Once the petals and music notes disappear as the music stopped, what was in Elizabeth's place is now a tall and regal high-elf woman wearing elegant attire befitting that of a queen in red and black with roses on her collar and on her head, short black hair with the same bangs but piercing red eyes and holding the black viol. Roselia looks down upon the others around her with disdain and boredom, clearly projecting an immense aura of charisma and beauty.
Marvelous! Simply marvelous! Kaida spins in place with excitement. You all have exceeded my every expectation!
He then sits in place. But it's time to return to your original selves. Relax, and let your heroic spirit recede back into your subconsciousness. When you have done this, we will make travel preparations at once; the first gem is in danger of falling into the wrong hands, and we've got to get to it first!
”Very well, but can I first ask what’s going on? I kind of get it, but this still all sounds like a dream, it’s hard to believe I, of all people have magic inside me, and can do this, it’s incredible, and I thank you for showing me what I can do” Black Magic says, confused, but also excited for what’s to come, and for what has already happened.

Send help pleaseWith Feth taking the final spot around the pentagon, Kaida speaks to each of you telepathically.
Close your eyes, and search deep inside yourself, for the hidden facet of your being that you do not yet know.
Open your eyes; you now know the magic words that unlock your heroic spirit!
Speak those words with courage, and reveal to the world what you have locked inside!
(Now is your chance to come up with a magical phrase, and describe the transformation that your ordinary character undergoes!)

Send help pleaseEvery person has two faces, one hidden deep inside; you've just learned how to show it to the world when you desire!
I'm not sure what else to say to explain, so maybe if you asked a few questions that are bothering you I could answer to the best of my abilities?
