Flesh-forming

Flesh-forming

Flesh-forming is a form of the Secret Art, or magic used by the lyrinx in Ian Irvine's The Well of Echoes quartet.

Flesh forming is the art of taking the parts of animals and creating new animals. When Jal Nish attempted to wipe out all traces of the secret art with the exception of the arts contained within the tears, Gatherer and Reaper (this includes flesh forming and flesh formed animals) he kept a small number of Flappeters, large flying creatures. They have been given intelligence and can only be controlled by their riders through a strong bond held by amulets of the riders. The bond is so strong in fact, that if either the rider or the flappetter feel pain, the other feels sympathetic pain. It does not usually cause death to those who are not experiening the pain of their counterpart, however, it can make them fall unconscious.
