"Maiden" is just for aesthetics, there's a magical girl called Mystical Mirror Madchen and she's not, like, a little girl. And basically, yeah, but, like--it's an aesthetic theme as much as "what powers will you have," like, I'm metal-themed so when I get wings they have metal feathers, does that make sense?

Nope, no sense at all, there is no way metal wings are actually lifting you.

They don't actually exist in exactly the same way that conventional metals do. They have all the properties of what they're supposed to be except the ones that would be inconvenient for the spell's purposes.

Like mass?

Well, they have some mass, just not as much.

I think I get you anyway, theme and vague influence over powers.

You might get two ridiculous outfits, if you can swing activation.

'Cause of the gender thing?

Mhm!

That'd be awesome! How are the outfits chosen, exactly?

Not sure. Generally you're more likely to like your own than someone else's but they all have a very...itself...aesthetic that not everyone likes.

Can you change anything about it after you get it?

Not normally. I mean, fusions don't have exactly the same outfits as either component, but I don't think that's what you meant.

No, it's not. What if your clothes aren't very warm and it's winter?

That generally fails to be a problem.

Because of magic?

Yeah, it's the same sort of thing as the wings failing to be too heavy.

...there's a part of me hoping I get a really skimpy outfit.

Your prerogative.

I think it's the magic's, isn't it?

Yes, but you have a significantly better chance than me at influencing the magic.

Fair enough, I guess. What sorts of themes are there around?

Uh, lots, you're going to have to be more specific.

I mean just, like, some random representative examples or just what you might've thought of.

Mm, there's Mystical Mirror Madchen, like I said, and Glorious Anodyne Aria, and the Muses, and Lady Frost Striker...
