Luke did not really have an opinion on what useful form he would took. So he just grabbed the closest item, which was the glass of milk.
“I wonder why any of the food makes a difference?”, thought Luke as he chugged down the contents of the glass.
“So, what’s it going to be?”, asked Luke. “Are you going to make me smarter? Maybe stronger? I guess I don’t really know what kind of body you will find useful.”
“Oh, you’ll be quite strong. I guess you could say you’ll be way smarter than any of your companions.”, said his Mom with a smirk. She grabbed the empty glass from the table and stood up.
“Come with me Son. It’s time to make you a more productive member of society. You’ll be working with your Uncle Teddy for the next month. He has mentioned a few times that he could use a little more help around the farm. First, have a seat in the circle inscribed on the floor.”
Luke sat in the circle and waited patiently for his Mom to gather up her spell components. He was actually kind of excited and wondered what his new body would look like.
His Mom placed a few odd items into the glass and began a few incantations. The glass glowed momentarily and the items disappeared from sight.
“Now, listen carefully Son. You give yourself over to my will, voluntarily and without reservation?”
“Sure Mom.”, responded Luke.
“Now, let’s talk about your month of service. I suggest that we reevaluate your form every month, as I see fit. Will you allow me to find more useful forms every time you’ve fulfilled your month of service? You will still be able to choose whether or not you want to comply.”, said his Mom as she forced down a smile.
“Yeah Mom. It would suck if I could only help out with one thing. I understand if you want to change me into something more useful after the month is up.”
“Good! Now, just relax and close your eyes.” After a brief pause, Luke heard the words... “Luxor ellum varistanta!”
Luke felt a tingle go through his entire body. It felt like every nerve was hyper aware. The feeling was quite euphoric and he was disappointed that it was over so quickly.
“That’s it?”, said Luke as he looked himself over in the mirror. “I don’t look or feel any different.”
“Yes, the deal is sealed. No turning back now. Remember, you said that you wanted a slow transformation. Besides, it will be hard to transport you once the transformation is complete. I’ll call your Uncle so he can prepare for your arrival.
Luke thought that was an odd thing to say, but just shrugged his shoulders and went to grab a drink and some snacks for the road.
