New Well Approval Request: Sizestone (Protean)

Image Name Title Class Nature Offensive Power Smog Latent Power Conditions
Image Sizestone (Proteanite) The expanding well. 2 Natural None. Enhances transformation magic around it, allowing it to withstand smog effects of other wells trying to suppress them. Changes its size and mass when being held by someone. The size change affect must occur unhindered (even when ensorcelled into an item), because during the moments in which it transforms it is highly unstable. As such, if for any reason it is constricted (runs out of space) during the transformation process, it can simply break down into mush at best or explode at worst.

This well does not usually change shape, only its basic size/dimensions (hight, width, length, depth, etc).
Formed in places of great physical change and transformation, this well is exceedingly rare due to the nature reality places on shape and form. Anywhere creatures exist that regularly change shape or size can cause these wells to manifest when Fractures form.

Appearance

When standing at his full height, Winston towers a full 1 foot and one blueberry tall. A fact he will happily demonstrate before flicking said blue orb into the air with his nose and then eating it with a snappy grin.

His eyes are dark and sharp, ringed by dark brown fur upon the bright white fur that sets off across the rest of his face.

Equipement

Winston usually carries the following on his person:
  • Cassion's Locket hangs snugly around his neck.
  • Winston's Fairy Bell hangs from his tool-belt attached to his hip. It's 'ringer' is often bound by a small piece of cloth to prevent it giving away his position while in the wilderness.

Re: New Well Approval Request: Sizestone (Protean)

I like this as you made it, not much to critique here. So we should probably wait to see what others say about it.

EDIT: My only quibble is the proper name of the well. It matches that of the Becomer revaeled form. Might wanna call it Proteanite or something else perhaps?

Re: New Well Approval Request: Sizestone (Protean)

So I had a chance to take another look at this. Another concern here:
Changes its size and mass when being held by someone. The size change affect must occur unhindered (even when ensorcelled into an item), because during the moments in which it transforms it is highly unstable. As such, if for any reason it is constricted (runs out of space) during the transformation process, it can simply break down into mush at best or explode at worst. This well does not usually change shape, only its basic size/dimensions (hight, width, length, depth, etc).
Changes ITS size and mass when being held by someone... Does the well itself change size or does the person holding onto it? The way it reads, it sounds like the well is literally the only thing changing size and shape. If you need help phrasing it I can do that, just want to be clear what effect we're seeking here.

Also, you might consider offering an offensive power for it, as too many wells lack that aspect.

Re: New Well Approval Request: Sizestone (Protean)

This well does not affect the size of the holder, only itself. This is intentional.

I kinda thought that there was no need for all well, particularly utilitarian magics to have offensive powers. I also thought perhaps it was like a ‘balance thing’, like the class 2 well might have a power offensive power, latent power or produce stuff, but not likely all three?

I’m not really sure what an offensive power would look like for this well. I would not want to start having it just changing the size of things you point it at etc, as that feels a little to easy to abuse?
