Description summary:
Additional sentences are added based on The Form of Law.

Law type	Description
1 ( Sigil)	The sigils defy you, however, straddling the border of the physical and intangible. More mobile than an idea, without the stricter limitations of physicality.
2 ( Beast)	The law moves fast, but you care little for physical distance. It, however, cares little for the impingement of an idea. You are at somewhat of a stalemate.
3 ( Abstract)	The law is briefly within you, then without once more. It has more experience in this domain, but you have the advantage – you were never something so specific (...) as it once was. You are infinitely malleable, and you weaponise this (...) marvellously.

An extra sentence is added if you have Form Change Indicator:

Form change?	Description
1 ( Sigil)	The law ripples and shifts – a string of sigils, dancing through the air.
2 ( Beast)	The law embodies itself into a jagged, misshapen quadruped.
3 ( Abstract)	The law transcends; it's no longer a physical thing, but a concept, skittering away.

Failure

Material concerns

You must be more. You must be greater. You must be— Wait, are you sure you didn't leave the gas on? You are? Good. This would be a terrible time to be distracted by something so human.
