"What'll happen to all the lesser vampires, if we don't find them all, though?"

"They'll scatter and go into hiding, and cause trouble later."

"So that'd be a good reason to interrogate him if it looks feasible to do so... anyway, I should talk tactics with the others, the point of this conversation is to give you a heads up that I'm going to be magical, might be gone at odd hours, and won't stay dead if I get in over my head."

Nod.

"You need to know about the Veil a little bit, mister. The Veil is an ancient magic spell that nobody can cancel as far as we know. It keeps people who aren't aware of magic or magical in some way from noticing magic things. But you've been exempted from it for now, it should last a few months at least, since you're related to Miss Bella and she wished on a magic coin to do that. So you might notice magic things that other people don't, but probably not. Forks is a magically quiet place, Miss Bella is the most magical thing around by a long shot."

"What will - happen after a few months?"

"You might start forgetting about magic and think Bella is doing something else important and maybe dangerous, but not remember it's magic specifically. If you write it down you could lose the note or forget to read it. You might not need reminders now that you know, though. The Veil is annoyingly tricky like that."

"Will reminders stick, if I give them?"

"They should! In the worst case, more copper coins. Copper coins are common."

"Okay. I guess. Works less well if I'm hibernating."

"Oh. We can definitely make sure to visit and remind you if that happens! It would be mean not to!"

"Huh. Thanks, that's very decent of you."

"It's a Puchuu's job to support magical girls, after all."

Nod nod. Pet pet. "Uh, I think that more or less covers it, Dad."

"Thank you for telling me, Bells."

"If you're ready to become magical now, all we need is a nice comfy place to do it and to make sure you know all your choices before it starts."

Charlie considers watching this and then decides not to instead.

"I think I'm ready!" She flips to her notes on her build and magical outfit.

Tanya's final suggested build for her, after the discussion and including her offered 3-bronze-coin loan, was:

Taller form, slightly younger-appearing face, but disguised by tallness.

Elaborate costume, however she ended up designing it.

Psychic specialty- Don't change.

Fist weapon- Spend 1 brz to make it a magic staff or wand of some sort instead.

Major power- Focused Assault- Don't change.

Minor powers- Escape Mechanism (spend 1 brz, replacing Disguise), Overworld Shift (spend 1 brz, replacing Monstrous Metamorphosis), Absolute Direction (spend 1 brz, replacing Magic Handbag), Enhanced Sustenance (severely reduced need for air, water, food, sleep), Cosmic Heal (spend 1 brz, replacing Gifted Magic).

Gold coin- Spend to gain Regeneration extra major power. 

Stats before coins (in costume/out of costume):

Strength: 4/4
Agility: 4/4
Vitality: 5/5
Magic: 6/2
Luck: 4/2

With two silver and four bronze coins left, giving her two +2s and four +1s to distribute in terms of stats (in costume only).

Tanya recommended she reach 8 in Magic but not go over that, and recommended Agility and Vitality be the focus for what she has left, but didn't specify an exact layout.

Or optionally- Instead of Regeneration use the gold coin to pick two minor powers, but none of the options discussed struck her as critically important.

Plus two Magic and plus three Vitality, plus one Luck and plus two Agility.

Puchuu piles up the coins in her palm, glittering and promising unmistakable power, and then-

-It's obvious, the path she'll take, the shape things will be. Her fists, brutal weapons of destruction. Her powers, eclectic and not what she would ideally want. As plain a fact as anything. Rocks fall, water's wet, this is her build. The coins feel hot in her hands.

Time to try to steer this so that she doesn't have to try to punch a vampire!

As long as she has a clear picture of what she wants that's Not This, it's not difficult. She naturally pulls on the appropriate sized coin, which vanishes and coincides with a sudden shift that feels just as natural and factual as before.

Oh good. Coins go where coins go - spend spend spend - MAGIC -

She needs a pose and chant to transform. A single sentence. NEEDS it. The magic is pushing for it, gently at first, but increasingly strongly. Maybe "Inner mind and outer power, none shall fall before my sight!" while standing heroically, hands on hips. Or "By fortress of mind I stand, a light in the darkness!" while pointing ahead. Or "I promise nightmares and torments to my foes with my mind's razor!" while glaring with one foot forward and arms crossed.
