I was entirely too proud of this while writing it,,,
You utter the device's new name "Adrean!" and he answered "User identified, designation recognised!" instantly you feel something being pulled from you and you feel Adrean coming to meet you half way. You have to vocalize this feeling and begin an oath that sounds like an invocation "Brother of my soul! I pledge to thee and give to thee all of me, that all that I am and all that we shall be can be used to the fullness of my ethos! Now, the path my whole life has been dedicated to it, this was the only way.
My☆very☆existance☆will☆be☆FREEDOM!"
As you are going through the linking process the
music in your head returns after a long absence and your clothes start changing. For starters you are no longer whereing the school outfit, seemingly out of nowhere you find yourself wearing a white undershirt and black slacks. Your robe appeared out of nowhere so you're wearing that now. However, after doning it, the hood recedes into a stylish collar. The single clasp that normally keeps the robe closed in the middle multiplys up and down the front snapping closed this brings the robe closer around you. The billowing sleeves contrict and shorten, no longer covering your hands at the neutral position. Making further room for something to come, the sleeves roll halfway up your forearm. The waist line also closes in on you. It doesn't become constricting, but the robe has certainly lost the billowing effect it had before. The final change to your robe is the bottom which splits open to reveal your pants and shrinks up a few inches. Over all, it looks like your robe has become something of a long coat.
When your robe finishes this transition, you can mana begin to coagulate in the air around you. You punch the slurry of raw arcane material and as you bring each one arm back it's coated in a sleak guantlet that shines like polished silver. You give a double spin kick through the cloud as well, each leg getting a grieve of similar metal. You the turn away and back flip through the cloud reducing it to ribbons. As you come from out the arcane material you have pualdrons on your shoulders and plates on your torso. The pualdrons are sleek like everything else is and made of that metal that isn't silver. There are four plates attached to your jacket and to each other by magic alone, the two largest mold themselves to your sides and go up to your armpits. They meet at your naval forming a triangle of missing material on your from and back. These spaces are then filled in by the two slightly smaller plates.
While this is going on, Adrean and the umbrellasol seem to be having a clash of wills the two arcane objects refusing to submit to the other's aesthetic. After a minute they seem to reach a compromise with Adrean, rather than replacing the tip like he had intended, embeds himself in the opening mechanism. Meanwhile the material that forms the umbrellasol's canopy becomes translucent and the shaft becomes the same metal as your armor the engraved runes now much more visible. You grab adrean and sling him over you should with a spin and as you do, the remaining ribbons of arcane material swirl around you decorating your armor in purple flame decals and manifesting into a new metalic clasp which holds your hair in a tighter pony tail than you've ever had it before. As this change comes to a close, Andrean gives a declaration of "Link successful, full ignition confimed."

Fun fact, I orignally planned to have the transformation use the color scheme of the American flag... There are several obvious reasons why I scrapped that idea. Though there are also clear reasons why I'd think of it in the first place...
