I have a weird-cool-hype mental image of Mina's first casting of "Magical Girl Spell: Magical Cat Familiar:
Battle Mode: ACTIVATE!"
Everyone present
feels the idea of a(?) the(?) dream realm. Vaguely; and barely present.
And as Mina casts the spell, she is in the dream but her presence becomes more real
in the idea that people are feeling - still dream, but she's becoming realer.
And as she becomes more real, she's becoming
The Mountain, and as
it becomes real, there's the feeling of the idea of Pepper flying around the peak of
The Mountain, changing into battle form, then he sits down on it's shoulder (dream logic), and some of Mina's dream-solidity is given to him, and he assumes dreamed Battle Form in the waking world.
This transformation sequence is then replayed a lot, as padding in different episodes so as to save animation effort.

Ohhhh. Just had a thought. We should have given the Elemental Gem to Avarice - Well, in
these circumstance it might not have been wise, since he's on overwatch and we couldn't have made him Invisible afaik, so him swooping down to activate the gem would have been risky.
But in the future - if he's under active invisibility as opposed to regular stealth, then a quick swoop down to summon the Elemental as a throwaway distraction and then fly back to overwatch seems like a good use of a first turn.
At our level the Elemental isn't going to be a huge damage dealer, but it's
always going to be a potential distraction against non-fire immune foes.
[BeepSmile is now idly wondering how to get him to be able to use wands
