My Hands (O)
The Art of Transformation, unlike even the other Trump Arts, is mroe instinctual than practiced. The first step towards mastery of the Art is to allow a certain quicksilver quality to the flesh. Flesh submits to Ego, and the Ego gives the Alter Self form. The first truth of Transformation is that the self is mutable. Matter flows into the Alter Self, while numinous Corpus replaces what is lost. Through this, the Summoner changes. He may sprout claws, perhaps darken his skin to attain a better camoflague, any reasonable advantage from the shape of his Alter Self. Unarmed attacks can made to do lethal damage, or can gain a +1 bonus to rolls, but not both. Any change should not create a bonus larger than the Alter Self's relevant Trait or the Summoner's dots in Transformation, whichever is lower.

OO - Iron Mask
Flesh fades to Corpus, Corpus becomes flesh. Human flesh is not so tough a substance, and may be cut by blades, pierced by bullets, burned by flames. A demon's form and substance are often of hardier stuff, raw Ego given form. By becoming a being of Ego over flesh, one denies harm by sheer gravity of being. ((Placeholder text.))
