Experimental Transformation Device

The Transformation Device was a piece of experimental technology invented by the Veyluu shortly before their extinction. Its primary function was to allow the user to change their physical form, or the physical form of others via direct contact. It was invented as a means of expanding the rapidly dwindling Veyluu population by converting willing members of other species to Veyluu, though its potential applications are nearly limitless. Less than ten were produced. Out of these ten, the location of only one is known, as it is in Fletcher's possession. The device uses a flawless, pure paracelsium crystal, powered by eight small crystals of perpecite.

Development and function
As the extinction of the veyluu began to seem imminent, the Maateru Institute of Progress began searching for a way to repopulate the species in the event of near total extinction. Through experiments with paracelsium, it was discovered that a pure and flawless crystal was much more potent than natural crystals with defects and impurities. When using a flawless and pure paracelsium crystal, it allows nearly limitless alteration of one's anatomy and physiology, including radical changes in size and shape, and even transforming into other species. However, the slightest flaw or defect in the crystal renders it nonfunctional, and it requires a great deal more energy than naturally occuring paracelsium. To this end, perpecite, a mineral commonly used as a long lasting and powerful energy source, is used to power the device. Experiments to produce more efficient perpecite crystals were conducted, but universally failed with catastrophic results.

Suspended inside the device is one large, flawless crystal of pure, lab grown paracelsium, surrounded by eight perpecite crystals, one housed each of the cube's eight corners. A power button allows the device to be switched on and off. This button can be locked with a three digit code, though this lock was not activated prior to the veyluu extinction, and codes were never set on the ten devices produced by the Institute. When switched off, the perpecite is retracted into sealed compartments in the cube's corners, removing power from the central crystal.
