Raphael was woken by someone vigorously shaking him, and, after a moment, he realized he was in the infirmary.

“Get up, master.” Emily said, her shaking growing in intensity as he looked at her.

“Enough, Emily.” He growled. “Remember who’s employing you.”

“Not you.” She said smugly. “I got a transfer, and none too soon, let me tell you. My grades were really starting to dip thanks to your little schemes.”

“Those aren’t important, you have a practically guaranteed job working for me. Trust me, you’ll come crawling back to me once things start going wrong.”

Emily snorted. “As if.” She straightened up, then walked towards the door. “She’s awake, Kali!” She called.

She? Raphael looked down and…yes, she was a girl now. That wasn’t really a big deal to her, angels weren’t fussy about sex and gender, but what was a problem was her clothing. Her sharply tailored shirt and pants had been traded out for a rather loose, ill-fitting pink dress. She looked ridiculous, and that simply wouldn’t do. She’d have to have her grandmother get her a new wardrobe.

“So, sleeping beauty finally woke up.” Kali said, entering the room, Emily close behind. “Let’s talk, there are going to be some…changes for you.”

Raphael opened her mouth to speak, but Kali held up a hand. “And before you say anything, your grandmother is aware of what I’m doing here. In fact, she’s given me express permission to discipline you as I see fit. She said you need to have your ego taken down a few notches.” Kali smirked. “Can’t imagine where you learned it from.”

Raphael grit her teeth but said nothing. She wasn’t about to just believe that, but she was wise enough to realize that now wasn’t the time to start talking back. She had enough experience to know that being disrespectful to people above her station would only end in pain. But she would talk to her grandmother later and get this sorted out, she wouldn’t let herself be pushed around like this.

Kali gave her a sad look. “She’s messed you up more than I thought.” She said softly, then shook her head. “But now’s not the time for that. We need to talk about consequences. The first is that Emily is being transferred, and you will be left without a servant until I deem that you’ve learned your lesson about misuse of your power over people. Should we find that you attempt to coerce or bribe people into doing the work of a servant for you, you will receive additional punishment, understood?”

Raphael nodded slowly, and Kali continued. “And, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, the second is that we’ve turned you into a girl for the time being. Carmen has decided that it would be fitting if you had to experience what she’s going through.”

Raphael raised an eyebrow. “And what exactly is that?”

“Carmen’s given me permission to tell you and Emily, but you two aren’t to tell anyone else, understood? She and Lilith used to be male before Lilith became a Perfect Chimera. And, although Carmen is great at transforming others, their body is…abnormal, so she can’t work with it the same way she can with normal people. Anyway, Carmen wanted me to let you know that, if you have any trouble adjusting, you can go to Lilith, she’ll probably help you out.”

 Kali smiled slightly. “I took the liberty of changing your wardrobe for you, too. It should fit you much better than your old clothes would have. And no, you’re not getting new stuff. You’re going to be like everyone else and live with what you have. Your clothes aren’t all dresses, don’t worry, I still left you stuff you can move around in. Oh, and if you find that you outgrow any or even if they’re too big, I can do size adjustments, that’s not a big deal. Just no replacements.

“Oh, and, before I forget, how old are you?”

“Eight. Why?”

“Just wanting to make sure you wouldn’t get caught up in puberty during this. If you’re good, you should be done with this by then, but if you’re not, and you still want to change back, come talk to me, I’ll make sure you’re whatever sex you would prefer for that. It’s hard enough without an added complication like this, you know?”

Kali gave her an infuriating smile and a wave before turning to the door. “Anyway, I gotta go check on Lilith, I’ll leave you to think about things.” With those words, Kali made her way out of the room and Emily followed, shutting the door and leaving Raphael alone with her thoughts.


Lilith woke in a bed, a series of messages blocking her vision. No one seemed to be in the immediate area, so she took the time to read through them and make sure they matched up with the memories Carmen gave her.

Escape Artist
Ability
Origin: Eldritch
The user may swap places with an active avatar at any time, costing 100 Mana from either the avatar or main body. This cost increases based on the distance between the two bodies. An avatar instilled with a personality may request a swap with the main body, and the swap is automatically accepted if the main body is physically unable to accept.


Knowledge: Zoan Chant, Innate Spellcaster, and King’s Knowledge have combined to form Zoan’s Barrier!

Zoan’s Barrier
Combination
Origin: Eldritch
A more perfect version of the Zoan Chant, a spell used to reflect harmful spells. This version may be used as a continuous barrier, consuming Mana while active. Upon activation, the user may choose to absorb or reflect harmful spells – absorbing harmful spells will replenish the user’s Mana, but if a spell would cause the user to go over their maximum Mana, the barrier is destroyed, and the spell continues unhindered. Spells striking the barrier while it is absorbing spells, whether the absorption is successful or not, are added to the user’s known spells. If a spell is reflected, a cost in Mana equal to ¼th the energy originally used to cast the spell is subtracted from the user, and the spell is reflected back towards the caster at 150% power.
The barrier automatically reflects hostile physical actions directed at the user at 150% intensity, subtracting Mana proportional to the force of the action.
Upon activation, any of the user’s abilities that are Eldritch in origin may be applied to reflected spells or the barrier itself at no additional cost. Only one ability each may be added to the barrier or spells this way, but the ability applied to the barrier and the ability applied to spells may be different.

Horrid Fascination
Ability
Origin: Eldritch
Entities with a weak mind will be entranced by the user, unable to look away or do anything. Prolonged contact with the user will lead to unquestioning loyalty and worship, even when not in the presence of the user. This ability may be freely activated and deactivated, although mental effects resulting from prolonged contact remain even if the ability is deactivated. This ability defaults to deactivated unless the user is in an Eldritch form, in which case it defaults to activated.

Telepathy
Ability
Origin: Eldritch
User has the ability to communicate telepathically with creatures within 100 feet. Horrid Fascination and Unknowable Entity may be applied to any creature being communicated with telepathically if the user so chooses.

Unknowable Entity, Horrid Fascination, Telepathy, and King’s Knowledge have combined to form Seeker of Knowledge!

Seeker of Knowledge
Combination
Origin: Eldritch
The user may read the mind of any entity they can communicate with telepathically. This process cannot be felt by the target unless the user wishes it, but it can be blocked should the target be skilled enough in protecting their mind.

Ruler’s Right has been incorporated into Seeker of Knowledge, adding the following effect:
The user may communicate telepathically with any creature that is in servitude to them, provided they are on the same plane of existence as the user. The user may act as a “host” of telepathic communication, allowing any servant to telepathically communicate with any other servant the user can communicate with. The user knows when any such communication takes place and may choose to listen in on it. Telepathic messages may be sent to any number of servants at once.

The user has gained an enormous amount of knowledge on eldritch entities!
Seeker of Knowledge has completed Knowledge: Eldritch (Superior), forming Knowledge: Eldritch (Complete)!
Knowledge: Eldritch Substances (Complete) and Decipher have combined to form Eldritch Alchemist!

Eldritch Alchemist
Combination
Origin: Eldritch
Great knowledge on various eldritch substances and deep understanding of how magic works allow the user to create eldritch substances using magic.

Ruler’s Right, Seeker of Knowledge, Eldritch Alchemist, and Knowledge: Eldritch (Complete) have combined to form Eldritch Abomination!

Eldritch Abomination
Combination
Origin: Eldritch
The user may alter any portion of their body as they wish, subject only to limitations provided by the user’s knowledge of other entities, eldritch or otherwise. User may create 6 extra appendages from any part of their body. The user may not create an appendage that would cause the user to exceed the user’s base mass, which is the mass of the current form plus the mass of Assimilated material.
The mass of severed appendages is lost, although it may be regained by Assimilating the appendage. If an appendage is disintegrated or otherwise destroyed, the mass is lost. The user may choose to secrete any poison, enzyme, or other body fluid they have detailed knowledge of from any portion of their body. If a being is Assimilated and it has a compound compatible with this ability, the compound is automatically considered known for the purpose of secretions. See Knowledge: Secretions for materials that currently can be secreted, relevant portion opened below. Furthermore, all beings under the user’s rule are far more susceptible to charm effects from the user. This ability is considered a fundamental property of the user’s being and cannot be stripped from the user or suppressed by ordinary means.
