This was drawn by  Terri_the_Dragon was a commission that became a trade since we were both trying to commission each other at the same time!

We have my real life self casting a spell at the local arcanist guild... When suddenly I wind up a lot smaller and fluffier than I was a few minutes ago! Transformed into a tiny little carbuncle kid I couldn't be happier with the results! Now I'm ready to go off on my own adventures with this new magical body!

I really really freaking adore how this came out... I'm tempted to make this guy his own character instead of just a post TF. Wrote up a short intro story to him that will be his background story should I do that.



The newbie that showed up to the Arcanist Guild was a strange one no doubt. He was easily excitable and at times seemed more interested in petting carbuncles than learning how to fight with them. Still, none could question the dedication to his studies as he worked long into the night reading several tomes. Strangely enough, he never attempted to summon his own carbuncle at first. Instead he kept insisting he needed to do more research. Then finally one day he was ready. With a manic grin he appeared before the guild master saying he had figured out how to properly cast the spell.

He threw open his tome and chanted the words. No carbuncle appeared. Instead the newbie glowed with a bright light and began to change! He shrunk in size drastically as orange fur began to grow in over his entire body. His ears grew longer and more flexible while he sprouted three tails. His hands and feet changed to become more paw-like while a glowing red gemstone appeared on his head. All trace of his humanity was soon loss as he became something quite small and fluffy.

Yet despite these changes, he seemed ecstatic. Struggling out of his own clothes the newbie began to feel his own tails, and his ears. He looked absolutely pleased with himself. He slowly stood up on two legs letting everything but his now far oversized cloak fall to the ground. He stood less than two feet tall and his body was clearly shaped like that of a child. He couldn't be older than six or seven years of age in human terms... if humans terms could even be used to describe him anymore. Other than the fact that he stood on two legs and was colored orange he looked like the carbuncle he was supposed to have summoned.

"I did it!" He jumped in the air for joy. "I'm finally a proper arcanist! I can't wait to become a professional adventurer now!" With that he burst into a sprint heading for the front door eager to find his first adventure.

"But wait!" The Guild Master called after him. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. "That's not how it works! That's not! You! You did it wrong! Just-" But it was no use.

The newbie had already left. He had no intention of returning to cast the spell the 'proper' way. This was what he wanted and now he was ready to enjoy it.
