MORPHING
In the center of the
room is a green obelisk
with a red tip — you
can’t have missed it. In
the course of the game,
when you find an
obelisk like this one
and right-click on it,
you are granted a new
metaform as the obelisk
disappears. Click on it
now.
The metaform you have just been granted is for the Maorin — a six-legged
cat. You can now see the icon for the Maorin shape in the Ability icon area in
the lower right of the screen. Select
this icon. The Portrait Panel is
briefly taken over by an animated
sequence showing the transforma-
tion from human to Maorin. When
the transformation is complete, the
side panel goes back to its original
state, with the new Maorin portrait.
Look at your Power Bar, and notice that it has decreased somewhat. This is
because it costs Power to morph into a non-human form —as well as to
maintain that form once you have assumed it. If you run out of Power while
a non-human, you automatically morph back to human. If you happen to be
at the bottom of a lake or flying over quicksand at the time, this spells cer-
tain death. So be careful with your Power — when you need it, you don’t
want to be running low.
Click on the Life and Power Bars and watch the Text Bar. Now click on the
HUMAN icon in the lower right of the screen. You see the animation morph in
reverse. When you click on the Life and Power Bars, you should notice that
the Power remains unchanged, but the Life is different between human and
Maorin.
Once again, click on the MAORIN icon.
