One way or another, your body has become the last barrier against a great evil. Within you slumbers a terrible power, a force of destruction bound by ancient magic, yet constantly threatening to escape. As you begin to tap into this hidden strength, your very aura shifts. Dark, ethereal energy pulses through your body like the heartbeat of a beast longing for freedom.

Monster Within: Deep within you lies a formidable power, a beast of chaos yearning for release. As you tap into this power, you edge closer to setting its wrath free.
-[Passive]: While in this Transformation, your Phantasm is no longer considered a Deeply Suppressed Character. Ignore the rules of Permanence of One-Sided Fusions for your Phantasm.
-[Passive]: Increase the Attribute Modifier Bonuses (AG/FO/TE/MA) and Stress Test Requirement for this Transformation by x(T) and 2x respectively, where x is half (rounded up) your Phantasm’s base Tier of Power.
-[Permanent]: Your Phantasm maintains all stacks of Struggling until the End of this Combat Encounter, even if your Phantasm is a Deeply Suppressed Character.
-[Triggered/Defeated]: You may use one of your Phantasm’s Signature Techniques or Unique Abilities as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver, even if you would not have access to it via the second effect of Echoes of the Phantom, treating its Ki Point Cost as 0 and ignoring any and all prerequisites.
Echoes of the Phantom: Even when evil is dormant, its presence lingers. Echoes of its power hum within your very soul, granting you fleeting glimpses of its strength. But every use of this energy draws the Phantom ever closer to freedom.
-[Automatic/Transform, Ruling]: Select 1 Secondary Racial Trait your Phantasm possesses, gain access to that Secondary Racial trait while in this Transformation.
-[Automatic/Transform, Ruling]: Select x Unique Abilities, Auras, and Signatures Techniques your Phantasm has access to, where x is equal to your Base Tier of Power. While in this Transformation, gain access to them, ignoring any and all Prerequisites.
-[Automatic]: At the end of Each Combat Round, if you have used at least 1 Signature Technique, Aura, or Unique Ability gained via the 2nd effect of Echoes of the Phantom, during this Combat Round, make a Clash (Cognitive) against your Phantasm. If they lose, they gain 1 stack of Struggling until they escape the One-Sided Fusion. If they win, they are freed from the One-Sided Fusion.
-[Passive]: For every stack of Struggling, increase the Attribute Modifier Bonuses (FO/MA) of this Transformation by 1(T), up to your Phantasm’s Base Tier of Power. This effect lasts until you leave this Transformation or are Defeated.
Burst Limit
Chained Malice: Each time you draw upon this forbidden strength, you push the creature closer to freedom. Yet for now, you manage to delay the inevitable. The moment you transform, the countdown begins.
-[Triggered/Transform]: Roll 1d4 and increase your Dice Score by +1. The rules of Escaping a One-Sided Fusion do not apply for a number of Combat Rounds equal to your Dice Score.
