The eyes don’t have a pupil or anything except the shape of the eye. This will not hinder the Sorcerer much after 1d6 days of adaptation, the chaotic nature of the magic still gives the sorcerer a form of vision equal to the vision the sorcerer had before. But everybody looking at the sorcerer will see the clear crystal eyes. Also the hair of the Sorcerer will turn bright white as the first stage of the transformation emerges. With some care all these effects can be disguised.2)    As the second stage of the transformation happens the mage will feel a terrible pain for 1d6 hours. While this pain emerges all bones of the Sorcerer transforms to crystal. The crystal bones will function almost as normal bones. But after the sorcerers death his skeleton would be a valuable addition to somebody who collects crystal structures or art. Because the crystal bones are less flexible then normal bones the dexterity of the Sorcerer is reduced by 1 point but because of the heightened feelings of sonic vibrations becomes listen a class skill .3)    As the bones further harden, will also the flesh and texture of the Sorcerer change slightly. The sorcerer is unable to hold fat inside its body and will grow more sturdy. This will result in a change of the appearance of the caster. All pigment color is lost in this change turning the Sorcerer into an albino for view. Also will the Sorcerer lose weight what results into the minimum weight of the race of the caster with an extra 10% reduction. Because of the change in structure the caster will be more vernable to sonic attacks, giving him a 5 point penalty on all sonic saving throws, but as a positive side the natural armor class of the Sorcerer is increased by 1 point.4)    As the body even further changes towards crystal the Sorcerers tissue becomes slightly transparent enabling everybody looking into the Sorcerers organs. Also the crystal bones of the Sorcerer become more fragile during the changes resulting in the fact that the Sorcerer takes 1 point of damage on each damage dice from a blunt attack. But gives an enhancement bonus of +1 to armor class (raising it in total  to +2).5)    As the tissue of the Sorcerer becomes tougher and thinner the ability to respond on sonic vibrations becomes stronger for the Sorcerer enabling him a +2 circumstance bonus to listen checks. As a down side the sorcerer loses another point of dexterity.6)    As the mage develops more towards its crystal bone structure it will become more aware of its surrounds and vibrations enabling the Sorcerer to become more attuned to its surroundings, not only giving the Sorcerer another +2 circumstance bonus to listen checks (raising the bonus to +4) but even feel the disturbances of magic items towards its surroundings. The Sorcerer now has an 10 feet radius detect magic on a successful listen check (DC 10 + level of spell + bonus item creator).7)    As the Sorcerers nerves become from crystal the Sorcerer even becomes more resistant and vibration sensitive, this will give the Sorcerer a +2 armor class bonus (raising the total to +4 AC). But also will make the Sorcerer more vernable to sonic attacks doubling all damage dealt to the sorcerer of this attack form. Also a very loud noise nearby (like an explosion) will deafen the sorcerer if a fortitude save is failed for 1d6 minutes per level of the sound.8)    At this stage a Sorcerer does no longer need nutrition or air to keep the Sorcerer alive the raw power of magic will give the Sorcerer all he needs. More tissue will turn to crystal and making the Sorcerer more heavy. This will result in a tipple in the Sorcerers current weight and a need to cast 1 chaos magic spell each day or suffer the next day 3d6 hit points of damage because of the lack of nutrition. Because of the difficulty the Sorcerer now has to move more slowly this will result into a loss of 1d3 points of dexterity but increases again his ability to feel vibrations giving the Sorcerer an other +2 circumstance bonus to listen checks (raising the bonus to +6).9)    At this Stage all color variations in the body of the Sorcerer becomes lost, no longer truly alive nor solid. The Sorcerer will lose all contact with its surroundings often and stand still for days, sometimes even weeks. The Sorcerer will lose in this stage another 1d3 points of dexterity but becomes more resistance to fire and cold based attacks, taking only half damage of such attacks.10)    The Sorcerers crystal bone structure attaches itself to its crystal flesh. All material of the Sorcerer become crystal and colorless in a matter of seconds. This entraps the soul of the Sorcerer in the statue formed from its own flesh, destroying all life essence utterly and irrevocably. A small awareness of the Sorcerer will stay in the statue till it shatters. But in case the statue is solid crystal could take this a very long time. Most likely a group of adventurers will find the statue and sell it to an art collector because of its high value.</blockquote>
