I suppose I must apologize.
I'm afraid the transformations this past week have been due to uncontrolled magic. Apparently my cuff activated as I was casting an unusually powerful transmutation spell and with neither a mind to direct it nor a Weave for it to dissipate into as it would have done in my world, it earthed itself randomly all over the compound.
Fortunately for everyone here, the spell - which would have been permanent if it had taken effect for its intended purpose - lasted only a week... *insert magi-babble here that essentially goes into most of the detail found
here; he's just showing off now*
And now I think I'm going to go hide somewhere and stay invisible for a week.
