Some Info for Rei

How restricted are the transformation spells all together, and in what ways?

Well, for Crystal and I, the transformation is restricted to how much magic we have. It takes a certain amount of magic to transform, and we're stuck in whichever state until we have the magic to change back, but we're both highly magical, so we don't face that problem often. Crystal told me that you were asking about if there was a midpoint in transformation where we would look humanoid but furry, to that: no. when we transform there's a kind of sparkely goldish bronze shimmer in the air and then we're transformed. She turns into a black wolf, I turn into a winged black cat. But not all transformations are the same. Everyones magical ability is unique.

How would a wizard/scientist/alchemist of Meesh, who is somewhat successful, and also a bit insane's clothes look like?

Well, first off, there are no "scientists" in Elsewhere, there are people that study certain things that, on Earth, might make them scientists, but they aren't referred to as scientists in Elsewhere. In fact, people there don't even know wat a scientist is. I mean, we speak English somehow, but that word just never really caught on. This picture is a good general idea of the clothing he might wear, only no cross symbols, and the clothing would have a black/brown/dark red theme. For Meesh, the hair is most likely a shade of brown, but since he's a wizard, it can be however you like, because if he is successful, he is very likely to have enough power to change his appearance. This appearance is for male. Since you didn't specify, I just assumed that's what you wanted. I can give you the same info for a female, but I'd have to give you a different clothing picture.

What were the special add on spells and races again? (which is where as well).

If you mean the magical tendancies of different races, then...

Islanders - Have control over water, to some degree. Some people can control it really well, others can just slightly bend it to ther will, some can just slightly change the temperature (Like I said before, all magical ability is unique). Some people can cange the shape of trees.

People that live on the coast - Slight water control. Many can communicate with fish, and fish are often attracted to them.

Swamp People and Moose-i - Can change the shape of trees. Slight water control. Slight control over the ground/ dirt.

Desert People - Control over gound/dirt/metal to some degree.

Mountain people - Slight water control. Some can control the weather.

Forest People - Control over trees, some can bring them to life, like they're Tree Ents, only they aren't referedto as Ents...

Meesh/ Afishyah - Slight control over Earth. Many learn dark magics and agressive spells through dark magicians, thought most are not born with magic.

Keep in mind, that these are just guidelines. Stereotypes, if you will. It is possible that an Islander is born with "earth" controlling powers, or a desert person born with Water control. Many people are born with a defensive power, but I didn't list these, because there are soo many, and there dosn't seem to be any are are perticularly regular to a certain area, they're pretty randomly spread out. There are people born with Agressive magic, but don't figure it out, or don't use it because they don't need it.

I hope this answered your questions.
