Secret of Evolution: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

For some reason, the Secret of Evolution requires the [[Armlet of Transmutation]] in order to work as intended; if attempted without it, the results are imperfect and often unpredictable. [[Marquis de Léon]], fittingly enough, became a monstrous lioner, while Balzack became a huge and bloated lizardman. Each of these forms has a weapon unique to it - Estark and Psaro use two swords, the Marquis uses bared claws, and Balzack used a club - but whether this is an effect of the transformation or simply a matter of personal preference and common sense is unknown.

One major side effect of using the Secret of Evolution is loss of one's memory. Neither Estark nor Psaro have any recollection of their past after using the Secret other than their own names. This side effect only takes place if the Armlet of Transmutation is utilized to achieve the full potential of the Secret of Evolution, as neither Balzack nor Marquis de Léon experienced memory loss after performing the Secret imperfectly. Interestingly, Aamon still has his memory intact after using the Secret. This may indicate that he knew of a way to bypass the side effect of memory loss, a method that neither Psaro nor Estark were aware of.

In the remake, Rose's tears were able to reverse the effects of the Secret of Evolution on Psaro, perhaps due to her heritage, her own unique magical traits, or her love for him. There may be other circumstances necessary in order to make this reversal possible as well.
