Hyper Growth Spurt

The Hyper Growth Spurt (commonly abbreviated as HGS) is a magical condition in which someone has intense stomach pain, accelerated growth, and accelerated energy accumulation.

### "What exactly IS a Hyper Growth Spurt?"

A Hyper Growth Spurt is when magic causes your body to grow at insane speeds (hence the part 'Growth Spurt'), causes your body to accumulate energy at doubly insane speeds (hence the part 'Hyper'), and for some reason gives you the stomach cramps. It does this in phases, as your body will sometimes slow the energy accumulation to normal, causing your body growth to pause and the stomach cramps to ease.[

### "How tall can you get?"

Using a Growth Spurt potion, a normal human can grow to the height of a mansion, and a Sackperson can grow to human size.

Using Hypersoda, a normal human can grow a few feet taller than a mansion, and a Sackperson can grow a few feet taller than a human naturally can.

### "Frequently asked questions"

Q: Can you get multiple Hyper Growth Spurts at once?

A: No. Using multiple means of getting one while already having one simply extends the HGS, causing you to grow larger.

Q: What is a normal growth spurt?

A: This isn't exactly a HGS question, but I'll answer anyway. A natural growth spurt is when your body grows taller and stronger faster, but still naturally. It's a childhood thing though.

Q: What is the first sign of a HGS?

A: The stomach cramps. You always get stomach cramps before the first rush of energy.

Q: Does exhausting yourself stop a HGS?

A: No, it ends the energy rushes sooner, which means more pain for you. Try to stay calm and still while experiencing a HGS.

Q: Can an animal get a HGS?

A: You can give a canine, feline, or rodent a HGS by putting the Growth Spurt potion in their water or having them jump on a Hyperstone, but I don't suggest letting your pet experience one. Any other means of getting a HGS do not work on animals.

### "Causes of Hyper Growth Spurts"

1. Drinking a Growth Spurt potion or Hypersoda

2. Standing on top of Hyperstone or Hyperstone Bricks

3. Being sprinkled with Dust of Hyperstone

 4. Marrying a colossus (WARNING: BY THESE MEANS YOU WILL BE THE SAME SIZE AS YOUR SPOUSE UNTIL YOU DIVORCE OR ARE WIDOWED)

5. Symptom of Titanthropy (part of the transformation from Sackperson to Titan is to grow to the size of one)

6. Titan Spell

### "The Science Behind It All"

What happens inside your body when you get a Hyper Growth Spurt?

First, your body begins to falsely assume you are being harmed by something in your stomach. Because of that, you get stomach cramps.

Then, your body's growth and energy accumulation begin to accelerate, causing you to grow larger and stronger.

Your body will periodically return the energy accumulation to normal, pausing your hyper growth. It will also stop the stomach cramps, but those come back as you go hyper once more.

### "Raging Growth Spurt"

There is a huge difference between the Hyper Growth Spurts caused by normal Hypersoda and Hyper Ragesoda.

First, Hyper Ragesoda obviously has a differing first effect: you feel irritated upon drinking it, just like normal Ragesoda.

As the RGS (Raging Growth Spurt) advances, you not only grow larger and stronger but also angrier. This rage makes you want to attack everything in sight, like a true colossus would when raging.

A HGS causes stomach cramps and has pauses, while a RGS does not have these traits.

A HGS only lasts a few hours. A RGS, however, can last for days.
