What are transformation styles?
Transformation styles are cool. Some monsters have a small chance of dropping a bit of their essence when you defeat them. If you collect this small drop of the creature’s essence, you gain the ability to transform into that creature in combat. You collect these spirits in a special inventory and can access them from the main style-switching interface. When you trigger a transformation style, you literally become the monster. You gain the monster’s special attacks and turn into their model, and you can rampage around causing horrible devastation until your Chi runs out. The Chi cost for these styles is directly related to the damage they dish out, so fighting as a rat demon doesn’t cost much, but fighting as a giant iron golem is very expensive.
