Permanent Transformation

You've consume far too much fairy dust and now you're a butterfly forever. There is no known cure for this affliction, although you recall rumors of a substance called a "panacea" that could help... but if such a thing even exists, it would be extremely rare. Your best option now is to learn to live as a butterfly.

As a butterfly you can fly outdoors and you have a 10% bonus to Nature & Psychology base damage, but you suffer reduced inventory and other penalties.

— Metamorphosis Complete alert

Excessive consumption of Fairy Dust by a non-fairy may transform the eater into a butterfly for a five minute period. Upon transformation they will receive the message: "You've turned into a bug! Fortunately this will wear off...Suffer all fae racial penalties +25% Mentalism Base Damage".

Reports vary on exactly how much Fairy Dust is required to transform, with numbers ranging between 1 and 20. It is likely that each individual consumption of Fairy Dust triggers a transformation chance roll, with each additional consumed Fairy Dust increasing in likelihood based on the amount consumed since last transformation. Once transformed, the Butterfly Transformation curse be applied for five minutes.

Individuals interested in becoming a permanent Butterfly need to repeatedly inflict themselves with the curse. Luckily, it seems that the amount of Fairy Dust required decreases after each successful transformation if the Fairy Dust is consumed shortly after the latest transformation fades. Users have reported between 1 and 11 Fairy Dust may be required for their second transformation, and between 1 and 5 for successive inflictions of the curse. After multiple repeated temporary transformations, an individual may be cursed with the permanent version of Butterfly Transformation

Drink Nectar (as a Butterfly)

Individuals suffering from a permanent Butterfly Transformation can learn the Lore recipe Drink Nectar (as a Butterfly). This recipe offers a varying boost to Mentalism and is taught by Yavazek in Sun Vale.

Consume a flower (or flower arrangement). For 30 minutes after, the Mentalism abilities Health Wave, Armor Wave, and Power Wave have increased potency. The increase depends on the quality of the flower(s) consumed.

You must be a butterfly to use this technique, and you must meet the flower(s)'s skill requirements, if any.
