Dysani: The intent means they know how to do what I need them to do,

And for the most part, they dissipate back into magic after an hour.

But if new intent is given to them, they stick around until that’s done, and so on.

As a pet, as a wild critter in a big city, or even as dinner… If it has a reason to be maintained, they latch on and stay.

I can do the same thing with food, materials, just about anything.

Vela: …Magic Lady, that’s insane.
Dysani: Hah! Nah, that’s one of my more tame tricks.
