This will be a quick one! Some changes that I think will serve us better in the future for further transformations and plans.

1) Transformations are no longer traits

The way it worked before, your character would have a trait for being a deerling...and a form being deerling. Whereas other forms such as horseling had no trait because it was common, but still had the form. This is for one inconsistent and for two listed the same info twice on Deerling/Serpentine dragons, so the transformation related traits were removed! 

2) Characters who unlock a transformation will now hold the related item instead

As some of you may have noticed, I removed the traits but added the transformation item to the characters inventory! This signifies that the character has unlocked a transformation, which we can check during design updates. These items are thus character bound and cannot be moved back to the inventory!

3) Transformations decided by birth are now freely available

Whether a dragon or equos was born a serpentine or deerling (or not) - it is decided when they are born. As such, it's not a form to work towards, which makes the following point difficult. As such, you need no more items to use these! In turn, the Serpentine Fireworks and Wooden Deer items have been discontinued. For everyone who still owns them, you can sell them for 100 coins from your inventory as they hold no more use in future (other than being discontinued xD)

4) Transformation Prompts will be reworked to be lore related - including the Alter transformation

In future, transformation prompts will be written to relate to lore, and should display your character as they unlock their new form. Right now, this will concern the Humanoid Beastling form, and  the alter form! All characters that have already unlocked these have been granted the respective items, but new characters will have to unlock them via their journey. The Alter form specifically will focus on increasing the bond between your character and  their artefact companion! Unfortunately, by default lorekeeper does not allow setting prompt rewards for characters when creating a prompt.  They would have to, however, to make the item bound to your character. Since this will have to be custom coded/added, the prompt rework will have to wait a bit. 

If you still own a reflection pendant you can use it normally! Just send it in with the design update request and we will place it in your characters inventory upon approval cx

Sorry for the confusion caused by my indecisiveness, but I think these changes make way more sense than the initial system, and look forward to showing you new transformations this year!
