Everything had been checked and double-checked. Marlow had practiced the spell until she could see the runes in her mind in just the places she wanted them. It was going to be GREAT. She'd help the team by increasing her own size for limited periods so she wouldn't just be a puny human sorceress learning to fight. She'd be an /Asgardian/ sized sorceress and really show the bad guys who they had to watch out for in a fight.

Sitting on the grass in front of her bungalow, she closed her eyes and recited the words and waited.

She didn't feel anything. Not a thing. There should've been some sort of sensation when her body became bigger, but everything seemed fine. With a sigh, she mentally prepared herself to work on the spell some more and try again later.

When she opened her eyes, a sense of euphoria and wrongness filled her. She was looking down at a body that wasn't hers. The spell had worked, sort of, but... whose body was it?

That was probably the most embarrassing thing she had to admit. It was one thing to tell Svalin that she wanted to take a bigger role in Defending the Frontier... whoops, that was from the Last Starfighter (she'd recently made the lateral move from cult horror flicks to cult science fiction), it was another to admit to the rest of the team that she was feeling inadequate. Marlow knew she had the magic down. She just wanted to do...more.

"I was trying to find a spell to make me bigger and stronger. To give me more options other than which dimension did I want to banish the bad guy to and what would eat him on that end."

	Kael hadn't known Marlow long enough to make any kind of judgement like that, so he just assumed it was a battlefield strategy. "Spells can be rather literal in regards to their incantations. What were the words used in the casting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did rush the spell," Marlow admitted. "I used Asgardian in it, but Svalin is the only one I know well enough to speak to, and intention might've confused wording." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So now I guess we figure out how to reverse it," Syd said. "Do you remember exactly everything your did?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
