Shapeshifting
Into any mineral
Interesting. So I could turn into plutonium or something and blow myself up? :P
Plutonium doesn't blow itself up. 🤪
Furthermore, there's no mention of retaining sentience once you're a mineral.
Once plutonium reaches critical mass it automatically explodes.
Your average full grown adult is well more than critical mass.
It explodes yeah but it's more like a radioactive flashbang than a nuclear bomb, there's a great video online explaining how they had to coordinate chemical explosives and concave lenses to properly aggravate the uranium.
Fair, though that particular shapechanging option has a deadline of ~24,000 years, so they'd better hop to it.
You have to yell out the OPPOSITE of what you want to turn into.
Bit easy to game, no? "I want to turn into an anti-XXXXX"
Nope. If you want to becomea dog, you have to tell CAT! yelling anti-xxx would just turn you inside out. I don’t make the rules.
You can't control your feet and they always shapeshift to a size that makes your shoes too tight.
Just take off the shoes before.
