NPC 017: A witch's true form
🕑 Added 2025-03-31 12:59:20 +0000 UTCA quick reminder, but if you want to see a second TF with Gema then she'll need both categories, appearance and species to win for her and right now only the species category has her selected. Though if you want a new NPC then just select a category that isn't her. Just wanted to be triple clear on it is all! Now that I have said that... here's the flavor for Gema.
"Too young to be out here alone?" The young witch giggles. "Surely you don't mean little old me..."
Illusion spells are fairly common, but those that actually affect shape are less so. Druids are the ones most expected to be shapeshifting, but taking on the appearance of a young woman falls more in line with a witch. Though the true form of witch isn't always disappointing. And it can be, perhaps, understood why one might have a smaller intermediary form to reduce bulk.
Some nobles are known to employ the services of witches to hide the monstrous transformations of candy mutants who have escaped the allure of candy islands. Though frequently this requires multiple doses to overcome. And in Gema's case, she is one such friendly, if not business focused, witch who knows how to create transformative vials and velums. Though her spells tend toward making the subject appear younger than they actually are.
Here's Gema's transformation animation! I might spice it up just a bit from this, but this is the general idea. I didn't intend it to take this long to get around to, but I had gotten sidetracked for a time. I also really cleaned up the map system and been at work on the levels again. It will still be some time though as I would like this next area to have several more NPCs as I have discussed.
