Light the Dragon - Commission
Unfortunately, my experiments, my work and certain other obligations do not allow me to leave the Manor. As a result, I have to call on other people - sometimes mortal, I'm afraid, but more usually immortal - to carry out certain tasks that are impossible for me.
For these tasks, I regularly need ingredients from outside the Manor. After all, I can't have everything on site. Ingredients or artefacts, of course, that can vary. Information from the outside world can also be very useful. Oh, geopolitical upheavals are of no use to me, but what could pass for 'creepy pasta', legends, myths, interactions with creatures out of the ordinary - these can turn out to be full of surprises.
In short, light-the-dragon was the perfect change-maker to carry out these tasks, which are nonetheless necessary for the smooth running of my laboratory.
As luck would have it, we have a dragon changeling for Chinese New Year.

This is a lovely compliment, but the only person to compliment is Light himself, who has this precious ability.
I wonder on the ability what evolution gene or dare I say magic makes a creature able to shift form of flesh make and remove bone increase or decrease mass... I wonder
A very interesting and pertinent question indeed. The evolution of things, even magical ones, has led to the same result, the change of form with the addition or removal of matter, by different means. Just as the evolution of certain species has led to the same physical characteristics, even though they're not from the same family.
This ability to change form with magically 'borrowed' matter can be compensated for in various ways, one of the most common being insatiable hunger, the result of an expenditure of energy that must be satisfied as quickly as possible. There are others, some simply drawing on the arcane to balance this gain or loss of matter, like putting on or taking off a suit kept in a wardrobe.
As far as Light is concerned, I can not answer for him. Perhaps he can answer for you.

Intriguing
Further study and observation may be needed for subject (light)
Theory's
From current observation seems to be light using surrounding air to make up the transformation /or/ other hypothesis as you have put forth arcane source = stored mass storage unknown
Hypnosis = Probable cause
Topic = to be researched

I am going to be honest, I don't even know myself...
It all started with an encounter with Zekas, when I transformed for the first time. Later he told me that he thinks it's a genetic/hereditary thing, and that he only needed to "awaken" it in me. Like the gene was dormant or undiscovered, and nobody else in my or his relatives know they even have such a dormant ability, or maybe the gene is just not strong enough to be used, like a remnant.
As for the shapeshifting itself, it is a bit ignorant of the laws of physics and matter with the mass increase and decrease. I don't know how I am able to even do those supernatural things. But, it's not without a cost. These transformations exhaust me! It is not rare for me to rest after a few hours of staying in a form. My "god" form (It is not an actual deity that I become, but the power it has might be comparable to one.) is the most extreme example. It's very, insanely strong, but after a few hours in it, I am forced to go back to my human form, and go under a coma that can last an entire day.
As for the aura around myself, I guess it's some sort of energy? It sort of just happens when I use my shapeshifting abilities, I can't explain it, but it gives it a little flair for sure!
So, short summary, I do not know myself although I have theories, and despite it's supernatural properties, it does take a real toll on my body. I'm constantly training it like a muscle to make sure I can take on more forms, and for longer :)

Ah... Interesting
Your words have been noded thank you for your answer

If they remember to ask me before accepting the job offer, yes.
However, in what could be described as a basic offer, board and lodging are provided within the manor grounds, as well as reasonable use of the various structures there. This includes a private room to suit the individual's needs, access to the library and the botanical and zoological gardens. Even the use of certain alchemical elements under the supervision of a member of staff in charge.
It is possible that certain offers contain more advanced experiments but, rest assured, this is written in small print at the bottom of the page, so there is no need to read any further.

...are you currently accepting resumes?
lol, great work here, you really illustrated a great employee experience!

With a little imagination, it is always possible to find a use for your abilities.
Nevertheless, consider the following question as magnanimity on my part : do you wish to remain yourself in body, soul and spirit during your service in my domain ?
For while there is no shortage of work, the subjects of experimentation are not always in tune with my practices and sometimes balk at the task.

Thank you so much for giving me the once in a lifetime occasion to work in your manor, it is an honor!
I'll make sure to help you as best as I can with my shapeshifting powers, I'm very versatile and can fit all the needs you desire to accomplish tasks around your beautiful property :)

I do not doubt it for a moment, dear. You will be a great help to me in the days ahead.
Isn't it, dear ?
I have some more dragon and naga effets of alchemical elements. With time, they will appear here.

We always need more dragons.
Although I would prefer them flying freely. Give them the freedom they need!

Dear, he volunteered for the job. I will tell him what his new tasks are, but he is free to do as he pleases.
Nevertheless, it is true that he doesn't fly as freely as some of the observations I have recorded on my pages, such as that of a Breath of Fresh Air.
