Quote:Maybe I was unclear... the movements, the dancing around and so forth, are hypothesized to be required; if one isn't going to use the transformation item/phrase and go through the swirly lightshow, one needs to perform the motions independently, and regardless it's not going to make instantaneous transformations possible (except maybe for people capable of DBZ-level speed, who probably wouldn't NEED it).
Hm. Oddly enough, that almost seems to work in the context of the live series... given that Venus can change at will without all the extra stuff.
The idea might still be modified to make it more usable, but as it stands it has its flaws.

Oh, and if you find out what and where that IRC channel is, do please let me know. If they allow lurkers, I might like to start spending some time there myself.
