Change

The wizard takes you by the arm lightly, and guides you towards his laboratory. You find stairs troublesome with your new skirt, but soon learn the art of picking up the hem of your dress to make room as you climb higher into the upper reaches of the castle. The wizard makes small talk as you climb.

"So, you found yourself in a body not your own? How fascinating! I've experienced the other forms myself, but never had dared to change into a new gender. The risks to my magic could be disastrous. Is it much different? Do you find it uncomfortable?"

"You could return me to a male form?!" You question in excitement.

"I could, m'lady, but the effects would be unpredictable. The magic used to transform you might work poorly in conflict with my own. I would not wish anything... unfortunate to happen to you."

You question him about the test, but he responds only "I cannot tell you of the test itself, for fear of contaminating the result. It is a test where the world itself chooses your fate, and confirms if you are the one of whom the Oracle spoke." He smiles, "I can assure you, however, that nothing will happen to your newly formed body."

You find yourself uncomfortable with his line of questioning, torn between saying that there is nothing that feels different and not wanting to say that you are finding the urge to proposition him stronger as you climb the stairs.

Finally he stops at a massive wooden door, no different from many others that you have passed, this one marked only by a simple plaque near the door reading *Castle Thaumaturgist* He opens the door and motions you through.

You enter the room, and look around in amazement. This resembles the wizard's laboratory you had expected from stories. Strange beakers of odd colors and very odd smells fill the corners of the room. The wizard gestures you toward a hexagram in the center of the room.

"Please stand there. Feel free to look around, but do not leave the symbol. This will take a moment to prepare." The wizard stoops over a thick tome, and begins to turn pages, muttering to himself.

You look around curiously, seeing what looks like a cross between a mad scientist's laboratory, a high school chemistry class, and a high energy physics lab. Directly across from you stands a large mirror, reflecting the strange contents of the lab. Finally, the wizard turns from his perusal of the book, and nods.

"I am ready to begin."

The hexagram on the floor begins to glow with an unearthly golden aura, and you feel a strange energy sieze you, molding your flesh! What is happening?! The wizard promised you nothing would happen to you!

You feel your body beging to warp into...
