This story is a lightly edited role-playing log between  Skitten and myself, and typical of the sort of role-playing I aim to write. I was glad to have so talented a partner.

Quite a lovely story,though im a tad biased for reformation it can lead to so may interesting situations.

Technically, it isn't reformation, which is the equivalent in this setting of a true resurrection spell. It is tagged that way because if I didn't, everyone else would.

Transformation is the more accurate tag: what the kwurdāin spell does is actually a contingent defensive transformation. It defends against the digestion in the stomach as long as it can, then triggers a temporary transmutation of the subject of that spell into a substance that can safely pass through the creature's bowels: chyme. Since the subject never actually dies, there is no need for an expensive reformation (resurrection) spell.

Oh, dear. Someone left me set to "nerd". Let me start again…

Hi! I'm glad you liked the story. Almost all the other stories in my gallery (except the Commissions) make use of that spell. (I really like that spell.) So you may find other stories you enjoy even more here.
