Would Doug get a kick out a Celestial having this kind of silly weakness?
Hmmmmm... Doug decides to pay Mara back for turning Megumi into a car, and hits her with a "trivial shapechange" song.
Step 1: Doug plays "I'll Play for You", targetted on Mara.
Step 2: Doug plays "Disco Duck".
Result: Mara turns into a duck (because of Doug's magic) and is forced to dance (because of her compulsion).
Second-order result 1: Doug goes "what the...?"
Second-order result 2: Paradox and Megumi finally agree on something - Mara got what she deserved.
Second-order result 3: A passing anime director sees the dancing duck and a few years later creates "Princess Tutu".
Okay, maybe not that last one...
