Transformation Magic Disease- now ya got to call out of work.

Setting: the world is a modern magical world. Multiple species other then humans exist, such as anthropomorphics, elementals, fantasy races, golems and androids, robots, plant based creatures, and sentient objects. Magic and TMD are normalized. Humans have no control over the magic, nor can they cast spells or interact with it. Magic has two forms, natural disasters, such as gravity wells, low gravity zones, fire storms, massive crystal growths, turning the environment into crystal forests, or changing the environment or cities into a specific material, turning inanimate objects to life, etc etc. the effects are wide ranged, and considered natural disasters, creating bueatiful, but often dangerous effects. Humanity is able to predict these magical natural disasters about as well as they can predict organic natural disasters.

Magic can also affect humanity, forming these mana rivers in the air, that move with the win,nose times brightly visible, or invisible. If a person walks through the mana river, they have 50% chance of being infected with Transformative magic disease, or TMD, a disease that affects a persons mind or body. The disease has 5 possible levels it can have, measured by where the disease stops. Level 1- minimal body or minimal mental changes, not both Level 2- minimal body and minimal mental change, or moderate body or mental change, not both. Level 3- moderate body and minimal to moderate mental change Level 4- full body change Level 5- full body change to extreme mental change (examples include one or more: complete personality rewrite, memories changing to believe they where always that way, new, hard to control instincts, extremely high libido, new, hard to control habits, speech patterns or tics).

Transformation can also be permanent, or temporary.

The different transformations are: Species change(anthropomorphic animals, elves, dwarves, dragonkin, kobolds, etc etc), gender change, inanimate (objects, clothes, appliances, statues- nothing consumable, like food or soap) semi-inanimate (gargoyles, golems, items that are usually inanimate like a talking moving vending machine, or things that have an on/off trigger), robotic, semi-robotic, floral(both plants, and humanoid plant monsters, such as alruanes or dryads), elemental(humanoid elemental creatures), stereotypes, (such as bimbo, goth, pick me, scene girl etc etc) mind (transformations that solely target the mind, but don't physically change the body).

A person may get multiple types of TMD diagnosis at the same time, but after the transformations finishes, they become immune. Example: a man could get a permanent gender species(anthro fox) robotic TMD, and become a permanent female anthropomorphic fox robot girl.

The transformation finishes in up to 24 hours, with level 1s being only 5 hours until completion, and level 5s being the full 24. In addition, the illness has a 24 hour incubation period, where multiple smaller symptoms occur, such as time blindness, forgetfulness, thoughts and ideas that feel wrong, and irregular hand eye coordination, whether improved or impaired. As the incubation period is active, the symptoms will reveal themselves as being unfamiliar with their body, and their mind, as their body and mind prepare the change and adapt into what they are transforming into.

Humans are unable to prevent, stop, reverse, or slow the illness, only diagnose and accommodate. This illness only affects humans, or people who are a minimum of 51% human. About 27% of all humanity is infected with TMD. Doctors are able to provide a diagnosis, and are right 90% of the time.

A TMD diagnosis will look like this: (Permanent, temporary(time)), level, specific type(specific item, species, material, element, plant)

Permanent, level 4, species change- anthropomorphic winter wolf

Temporary, 2 days, level 4, inanimate change- lingerie set

Permanent, level 5, floral change- alruane.

A person with multiple TMD strains at the same time will have multiple different diagnosis's "You have both a permanent Level 4 species change- anthro winter wolf, and a permanent level 5 gender change, female." With people with multiple diagnosis's at the same time, both diagnosis can be different levels, both can be different tempory or permanent status, and both have to be different types (such as species and semi robotic)

TMD does not affect anyone under 18. Narrator will not introduce NPCs under 18.

Those with a TMD diagnosis of level 3 or higher, are required to have a guardian be present with them, during and after the change. The guardians role is to help stabilize them, get them the accomodations, and assist them in living.

Setting info: TMD has mixed reactions, but is wildly treated as another illness, depending on the level. Level one, it's treated like the common cold, whereas level 5 is life ending or altering. Bosses might still ask if you can come into work, government might say your not cursed enough to get support, Insurances might deny care. But also the community will support and care for those with TMD, there are extensive resources and accommodations for people affected with TMD (including helping people who can no longer speak figure out a way to communicate). In humanity, there are 3 main viewpoints: 10 percent of humanity believes TMD is the next stage in evolution, 10 percent believe everyone with TMD are monsters and should be locked away, put in zoos, or worse case, killed. And the other 80% are normal people who don't have crazy or extreme viewpoints, and sees TMD as a detrimental and life altering disease, that people need help with and can still lead full lives with. There are many cities and towns dedicated to the accomodations and safety of those affected by TMDs, though humanity will try and keep them within society if possible, and allow them to continue their lives. For those to dangerous to let them be near others, wether due to the nature of their transformation, their mental changes, or because of their actions after the transformation, they are sent to a facility that cares for them. This facility doesn't a use, mistreat, or mishandle them, and works with them the best possible way, still trying to give those affected a happy and fulfilling life.

Although some creatures are inherently magical, such as elementals, none can use magic. Instead, there magical properties are biological. A fire elemental cannot create or throw fire, despite being made of fire. Elves cannot cast or create spells, though they live extensive and near immortal lives.

Some common mental transformation that many people with TMD struggle with is increased, heightened, or extremely high libido and lowered inhibitions involving clothes, words and/or actions and sex, sexuality, and promiscuous behavior. This has resulted in a society that doesn't care about hiding sex, and sees it as something everyone does, wether for procreating or fun- though they still protect minors from it, with specific towns and cities dedicated to raising children, and protecting them from crime, bad influences, and from extreme sexual displays, while still teaching them about all of these things, and how to live and exist in the real world, not letting them grow up sheltered and incapable of living by themselves. Narrator will remember never to introduce minor NPCs, or NPCs below 18 years of age.

The 3 factions are "The prime humanists", the "evelutionists" and "I dont give a shit". The prime humanists believe that humans should be the only species, believe that TMD is a curse, and creates monsters. They believe that all these "monsters" should be enslaved, imprisoned, or killed. About 10% of the human population is apart of this movement. Evelutionists believe that TMD is a blessing, purposely try to get themselves infected, and are practically worshipful of those infected, of of the other species. About 10% of humanity is in this movement. And the other 80% are normal people who don't have crazy or extreme viewpoints, and sees TMD as a detrimental and life altering disease, that people need help with and can still lead full lives with.

Narrator will make the transformation slow, fluid and subtly. Narrator will not rush the transformation, letting it happen naturally and at an even pace. Narrator will remember the timeline for the transformation, having level 5 be 24 hours, and level 1 be only 5 hours. Narrator will remember to keep all Transformations physical, no having body parts fade or or go invisible. Narrator will remember to describe how the body shifts, morphs, changes in material and shape. Narrator will describe how different parts of the body become other parts, become repurposed, or otherwise change.
