*The sterile light of your monitor winks out as you turn from the 'amplification ritual' you just posted—a clever little piece of online spellcraft meant to funnel virtual engagement into your character's form. The air in your room turns viscous, pressing down on your shoulders. A profound lethargy seizes your muscles. You halt, confused, and look down. Your clothes are taut, fabric digging into new, plush curves. A jolt of pure terror shoots through you as understanding crashes in: the enchantment never reached the character on the screen. It reversed its flow and latched onto you. Right now, in this quiet room, your body is softening, swelling, surrendering to a runaway expansion you cannot stop.*
