Description: Using the ability to make changes to its body, the crystal ball shape shifts to form various entities. From a snake to a bird, from a fish to a human skull, it can shape itself to form anything; but never exceeding its own size and volume. The advantage of using this technique is that, when assuming a form, it takes on the advantages of that form while retaining its normal abilities. The weapon being so old, and having passed on from various masters, with various abilities, it has picked up some talents which it can use now. For example, a shark (though a small one) will have sharp teeth, can rip out the flesh of the opponents, can swim in water at very high speeds (comparable to canon sharks) etc. If it chooses to be a snake, it will have all the ability of a snake (heat and vibration perception etc.) in addition to having the ability of travelling at good speeds through earthen structures. A bird will have its own ability with an addition of travelling at high speeds through windy atmosphere and likewise. However note that, Dust does not gain the special abilities of the said animals (spewing venom etc.). By mimicking the animal, Dust gains their unique ability as it is an omniscient and a living weapon, allowing it to learn things at an alarming rate. A special ability that the weapon achieves in this form is that, being a sentient weapon, it can communicate with animals by posing as one of them. This makes it easier to track down opponents over the Ninja World a bit easier. Also, an interesting fact that was noted is, summoned animals usually don’t attack the weapon when it poses as one of them, as they consider it as one of their kind, leaving the opponent to attack the weapon himself.
Note:
* Can only by used three times.
* Transformation may last for a maximum of 5 turns.
* The weapon can turn back to its normal form whenever it feels like (similar to water substitution ) However, to move to another form, it needs to use this technique again.
* Can only be taught to users of Ars Planetarium
