Transform!

Though Transformation Item Users are considered a variation of Artifact User, They are often considered their own thing at the same time.

The first known and recorded Transformation Item User appeared a little later than some of the other abilities, sometime during the age of myth. At that time a stone fell from the sky and crashed into the earth. The person who discovered it found a stone in the center of the meteorite and attached it to a staff. They discovered they could use that staff to transform.

After that point. Other transformation Item Users began to appear, and they were recognized as ability users.

Then at some point during the dark era they vanished. It is possible they still existed, but many had disappeared. Had they all died off? Gone into hiding? Noone knew. This became known as the great disappearance. After this, they became impossibly rare.

During the secret era, when technology had gotten more advanced. A Mechanic had decided to make his own transformation device. They had heard about the old stories of transformation Item users and gotten a few friends to help. These people began a field of study into transformation items and the ability users who had once held them. They tried all sorts of things until the mechanic discovered artificial transformation items. It was a suit that came out of a watch. Though they had not officially gained a new ability, it was still considered a form of transformation item.

Others began to discover ways to make transformation Items, and then the great disappearance ended.

The era of light brought something new and strange. People began to discover transformation items from long, long ago. They stated to surface. Some think it is due to the end of the secret era that these things would be found as ability users came out of hiding. However, most of the people were not already ability users, so that theory doesn't make much sense. However the reason, they were back, and now there were two different kinds.

As stated above, there are two main kinds of transformation items, artificial and natural.

Artificial transformation Items are made by people and can be used by almost anyone. They vary greatly depending on what kind of ability was used to make them. They often use uncommon ingredients or require the help of multiple types of abilities to make.

Natural Transformation Item Users exist due to finding some rare thing that transforms them. Depending on what they do with that thing it may change the transformation.

Natural ones usually have a long history, with many of them being from an older time. Some of them seem like they were made, however like artifacts they have an unknown origin. These ones are still considered "natural" by nature due to the fact artifacts can materialize from nowhere. It is thought that some of these may act via a similar process.

Transformation Items can have unique reactions to other materials. Sometimes they can change those materials into something the transformation item user can find useful. Artificial add ons can be made for pre-existing transformation items. Though not many share the secrets of how they are made, the usage of silver crystal in some way is common in them. It is possible the original transformation item user may have found a rare variation of silver crystal in the meteorite.
