[Addition] Sorvian Metamorphosis

I figured I would give lore writing a shot so whats the worst thing that could happnen. 

 

Basically the current lore for Sorvians have a method of changing the way a Sorvian works based on weather or not they are in a dark magic or deific magic group. but I thought it was strange that neutral magics didn't have this option and I thought it would be a cool addition so i just started writing. If accepted this addition should be added to the already existing lore page for Sorvian sculpting just below the Occult Metamorphosis section and follows all redlines of Sorvian Metamorphosis.

 

 

Arcane Metamorphosis occurs when a Sorvian is exposed to, created by, or bound in service to practitioners of Voidal Magic. The construct takes on the appearance of the Voidal subtype most prevalent in its environment, comparable to the visual traits of active Arcanium, though to a lesser extent.

 

Typically, only one Voidal influence manifests, though it is possible for two or even three to appear simultaneously. Sorvians undergoing Arcane Metamorphosis are prone to chronic headaches and may exhibit the minor mental eccentricities common among true mages.

 

Arcane Metamorphosis can occur around the following magics with examples given for each:

 

Voidal Evocations will typically appear with faint traces of the element across the pseudoflesh such as but not limited to: soft embers glowing around the Sorvians body, parts of the Sorvians body freezing over, or the pseudoflesh taking on a more stony appearance.

 

Conjuration appears as faux life growing around the body such as: feathers, serpentine or crocodilian scales, permanently blooming flowers, or vines forming around the limbs.

 

Transfiguration would give the Sorvian a faintly ethereal look, appearing as slightly translucent pseudoflesh in the color of someone's aura.

 

Translocation would make the Sorvians body seem disconnected in places, typically the joints, and appear as if they are held up by faint energy rather than physical joints. Although they would break just as easily as a regular joint.

 

Illusion would give the Sorvians pseudoflesh faint unusual oddities that are constantly shifting, though when taking a closer look one would notice the lack of these oddities. 

 

Voidal Eminence would give the Sorvian an eye-catching appearance, such as bolts of black lightning or flowing lava across the pseudoflesh.

 

Voidal Artificery would form inexplicable oddities across the Sorvians form, akin to those commonly found in an Artificers mastercraft.

 

Scions would give the Sorvian a faint echo trailing mere moments behind them, following the exact path the Sorvian takes and only catching up should they stop moving.

 

Bardmancy, while not a Voidal Magic, would still affect a Sorvian, often giving them a naturally musical voice and much more fluid movement.

 

Housemagery, while not a full Voidal Magic, a Housemages manipulation of mana is still enough to give a Sorvian very light effects, such as their clothes always being clean, and dirt often finding it difficult to cling to the Sorvian themselves.

I like the concept, but I feel like its missing some things. For example, there is no fire, earth, water, or even air evocation. There are also many overlapping things with the druidic metamorphosis.

This is what is displayed in druidic metamorphosis:
The Druidic Circles [ex: horns or antlers grown from the head, fur or feathers sprouting from the body, extraneous arms resembling flightless wings, moss developing externally]

This is what is displayed in yours: 
Conjuration appears as faux life growing around the body such as: feathers, serpentine or crocodilian scales, permanently blooming flowers, or vines forming around the limbs.

My advice would be to look more closely at the metamorphosis effects of the others- and see where they overlap. A good start, but im unsure if it will work.
