The power ran through Marric swiftly, making the familiar shift, but this time more subtly, as if using it a second time was already easier than the first time had been. Nonetheless, as the power surged through Marric, something was different. Fiery energy ran across her arms, tattoos of dancing flames running from her elbow to her wrist, her whole arm and fist becoming sheathed in that strange blue fire, giving off no heat but burning strongly.<br/><br/>As she stood there, the flame soon faded, but just clenching a hand into a fist seemed enough to bring a feel of warmth in the hand, controllable but barely so, it was present. It seemed that in his flesh, but near the bracers, the jewel shared the same flame that it had given the sword earlier. At the flame's glow, the elf smiled.<br/><br/>"Perhaps it willl increase as your power grows, but it seems already eager to lend its power to you." As the flames flickered to life, the tattoo spread that fire, but when the flame calmed down, the tattoo too seemed to partially fade from view. Another small difference seemed to be a spread of heat through Marric's female body, perhaps the flame itself, stretched out to every part of her body. Even ones that might not need such heat.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The small shard grants Marric's hands <em>Spellfire</em>, doing magical damage of 1d6 on a normal attack, multiplying by a critical hit normally. In essence, it seems like its granting him a 'weapon enchantment' embedded in his flesh. It also seems to mainly do this when in female form, though. Further experimentation may prove other effects.<br/><br/>The shard effects are varied, but seem to take a 'preference' from what they have been used for. Earlier, for a weapon. It might change, eventually, with the bracer. </div></div>
