Deform (Attack)

***Deform*** is a perception-based attack appearing extensively in *The Rage Knights: Red God* universe and other short stories and gag comics created and written by Khaliq Trevor X and a variation of the spell, Ugly. It is the subject of many societal themes, alongside the spell *Ugly* and is a crucial theme related to appearance-based bullying and *Lookism*.

## History

Because of the central themes of bullying and humanly evils appearing in the Rage Knights Red God series, the attack spell of Deform is considerably one of the most common and highly utilized perception magic spells appearing in many stories, next to that of the perception spell, Ugly. While it is considered to be used primarily by only antagonists, summons, super-villains and downright unfriendly and/or antagonistic individuals, many can perform the attack regardless of personality due to its simplicity and with "ugliness" and what is considered "deformed" being entirely subjective and differing from culture to culture and person to person.

There are several forms, variations and other usages of the spell. *Deformity* can even be combined with forces of red magic, black and white magic. Many summons also play a huge part in this particular attack, namely the Superficial People (Summon).

### Usage

The basic usage of this spell allows the caster to change or alter the target's appearance drastically much like that of the spell Ugly however this can in turn make the target become "conventionally unattractive" to the point where they become Ripe for Bullying or rather susceptible targets for name-calling and other forms of lookism and bullying tactics.

### Variations

Deform BDD Cyberbullies Technique: A battle tactic used by Lunar Red Cult and social media activists, in where the user deforms unfriendly posters from an online forum, social media group or other online community who suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder. This deforming attack is generally *only* effective if the targets engage in aggressive, toxic and unwanted behavior that forces the user’s hand. Despite the target being online and through a screen, the deforming effects still reach the target’s face no matter where they are located.

Deform South’s End College Class: A variation of *Deform*, in where the user specifically targets a South’s End College class for the sole purpose of deforming the class and teacher’s face either temporarily or for an indefinite long period of time. It’s sometimes combined with time magic or the spell Try Again, where the user will repeat the setting and scenario of being in a South’s End College class setting in order to recast the Deforming attack.

## Users

* ***Damon Bradley*** masters a form of Deforming others via the usage of Deformity Nukes, however they come with "conditions" in which the target cannot harm themselves and cannot die for the duration of the spell lasting exactly 48 Hours. This in turn forces the target to experience what its like to be physically *deformed* and to be treated differently than others.
* Gasoline Woman can perform various *burn* style deforming attacks where she is capable of burning people's faces and making them unattractive. She became feared by most whom crossed her path, including Devon Harris himself. Her burning attacks however, do not work on *every* character such as Kyeung Wei Kho whom battled Gasoline Woman on occasions and survived her onslaught of fire-based attacks including the notable Deforming Fire attack she possesses.
* One of ***Kaozu's*** signature "ugly"-based abilities alongside the obvious spell, *Ugly.*
* ***Midlore West-Stein***, like Bradley can *deform* others with the usage of his Deformity Gauntlet however unlike Bradley, he cannot revert or undo the effects of the spell and thus the targets usually remain deformed unless they possess superpowers. Because West-Stein is a bully tactician, he uses the spell sometimes as a dark gag and to *make fun* of those whom did either him or friends wrong.
