Surraruthru and spellhoarding (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

"I believe so. I can feel my magic has expanded. It feels much like my natural abilities. I can tell it's much more flexible than my studied magic. I feel.. a bit weaker. My physical combat abilities have suffered in equal measure. Though, I did have to fight the spirit of the red dragon. I was unprepared for it. It was narrower than I would have liked."

[Anastasia]

"Well, let's go and put you through your paces then," Kascha says, "If you're up to it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surratutgru grunts and rises, hoping down from the bed and stretching the ache out.

"Indeed. We'll see how I fare."

[Anastasia]

From there it's a simple practice, letting you see how you do. You hold up alright, a chance to get a grip on your new skills.

Okay, this part is winding down. This is a chance to do something if you wanna do something IC to any changes. Otherwise we're getting into move along territory.

[Iron Dragoon]

Make a stop around the Cauldron to one of Seira's representatives to see if there's anything she wants me to accomplish after Benefal, then just back to Aurora. Still checking out some magic items, so I may toss a post out for that. Need to do spells also. But other than that, just the next adventure.

[Anastasia]

"Oh! Congratulations," Lady Amaryl greets both of you in elven, rising and putting down her teacup. You've been in this candy-laden room before - it's much the same as last time.

"Surraruthru did fine," Kascha says, "The changes aren't as extreme as in others because he was already a dragon, but I can verify them."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru sits in front of them, still working out some of his fine motor skills after the transformation.

"Yes, I feel.. Very different, though there's a familiarity to it. There's a new source of magic in me. It's quite different from my studied magic, though not quite as powerful, yet. Truthfully, once I came face to face with the red dragon, I was.. quite worried. He inflicted some significant wounds to me, and being hurt from the ritual before that did not help in the least."

[Anastasia]

"You overcame it?" Amaryl asks, picking up her teacup. "I expected no less."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"I did, at the end. I had to use some unconventional tactics to draw it in, but between being able to shut its magic down and it getting close enough to engage in melee, I ripped it apart. Though, hm.."

Surrarruthru raises one claw and flexes it.

"My abilities to fight in close quarters have been vastly reduced. I will have to come up with new tactics for that."

Surraruthru eyes the two women.

"There is something else I think I can manage..."

Surraruthru focuses on one of his new natural abilities and tries to shift his form...

Using Alter Form, 3/day SLA to take Half-Elf male shape. Based loosely off of Amaryl's looks, but masculine. Enough of a resemblance that it's there, but not enough to be insulting.

[Anastasia]

Are you going to be using this form a lot?

[Iron Dragoon]

Depends on reactions. Probably not, though, I can't imagine either Amaryl or Seira would really approve of someone running around as her twin/brother's face causing problems.

[Anastasia]

Your shift gets Kascha to giggles, though she casts a quick glance at Amaryl.

Amaryl sips her tea again, "I accept the complement," she says. "Not an unknown trick for many dragons. How flexible is it?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm... Let me try..."

Surraruthru tries to shift into a wolf with white and red-tinged fur.

[Anastasia]

Does the ability allow that sort of transformation?

[Iron Dragoon]

Yup.

Alternate Form (Su): 3/day as a standard action an Arcane Dragon can assume the form of any animal or humanoid creature of Medium or smaller.

The next one I try won't be allowed, just for the sake of RPing out the limits.
