Re: QUESTIONS

Still thinking about what to do for her boons, but regarding the spell for joining with the Fourth!
Would the ability to disguise herself as a small appliance work? It'd just be folding in on herself a la Optimus Prime into a truck, or Doombox from Lethal League into... well, y'know, a boombox.

My thought would be she's incapable of doing anything worthwhile in that form, so it really would be useless for anything other than hiding herself for things like listening in on conversations or when hiding from pursuers; at most I imagine she'd be able to move via shuffling corner to corner but she'd only be able to move a couple of inches before, like, falling over. Whereas any speaking she does would be staticy and muffled like someone talking through a walkie-talkie.
She'd also only have one (1) appliance she can turn into since I picture it more like a Transformers thing than shapeshifting or something, where she has all the parts for it at all times, it's just rearranging and compacting them into the right shape.
Like the invisible boatmobile's origami button.

Obviously, no matter what it'd be that she turns into, she wouldn't be able to be used like the actual appliance! So if she was, like, a stereo, all the buttons and trays and such would be cosmetic; trays couldn't pop out (because they're not really there, the panel marking it is just a panel), buttons could be pressed but don't do anything, etc.
(I also don't know what she'd turn into exactly but I'LL GET THERE...)

I figure it'd check all the right boxes for stealth and subterfuge, but I wanna make sure before I go tossing that in.
