The dragon spends a lot of time as a human these days. Why can't I be a dragon for a couple of hours?

[notjustinthemirror]

Because generally people can't become something just by wanting to be it. Dragons for instance. Or chairs or unicorns or couch cushions.

[former_endboss]

That is why it's called 'magic'. And it takes quite a bit of work.

[notjustinthemirror]

... That's the weirdest spell I've ever heard of. Becoming a dragon for a day?

[former_endboss]

I believe it is called polymorph.

[notjustinthemirror]

So what all can you turn into?

[former_endboss]

Theoretically, most anything that is alive. Practically, you don't want to go too far from human norms.

[notjustinthemirror]

What? Hard to run around with a million legs as an giant octopus monster?

[former_endboss]

It's the brain-you're not getting a complete rewire with the new body, and that leads to problems.

[notjustinthemirror]

What like a sudden craving for fish if you're a bear or something?

[former_endboss]

Well yes. But it can also be phantom limb syndrome-let's say I turn into a unicorn and want to pick something up. Naturally, I go for my hands, but oh wait, I have hooves. And then you very quietly freak out, because HOOVES.

[notjustinthemirror]

Heh. Alright, I see what you mean; having thumbs is pretty great.

Doesn't it work in reverse though? Won't your dragon roommate try and fly and fall on their face?
