You might foreshadow Cirezen using her mythic trait by describing her body faiding and glowing as if it had become mist. Read or paraphrase the following text when Cirezen finally uses her Memoreise Live on trait:
Cirezens form beings to fade but instead of dissapering she readys her self with her weapon! The mist beings to arrise and entwine the room causing it to take t he form of trees grassland and hell. The sound of dull whispering echos around as Cirezen rises up anew.
