This was a rare Transformation ability!
Elliot did not know what a Ghoul looked like. Perhaps it was a hairy, many-armed monster like Maeve. After all, Maeve ate corpses.
But Elliot was not entirely sure. He had never seen the term in any literature, nor was it recorded in any of the books on the Supernatural.
Transformation abilities were practically synonymous with power, like Maeve's Transformation.
After acquiring her Nightmare Form, Elsa had become terrifyingly powerful too. Even Dorothea's ability to turn into a crow had tempted Elliot for quite a while.
A crow did not sound as powerful as a Ghoul, but it had still made Elliot hesitate.
The key was that Flora's strength lay in her high stats, and Transformation abilities pushed those stats to their limits. It was a perfect fit for Flora!
Especially since this latest Thing of Immortality did not look particularly powerful either. It merely granted resurrection, and unlike Elsa, who produced an extra corpse every time she resurrected, Flora repaired her own body.
It was a notch weaker by comparison.
Elliot wavered for a long time but still could not decide. After some thought, he simply took control of Vanessa, intending to ask Flora what she thought.
Vanessa had been standing beside the altar watching the proceedings when her demeanor suddenly changed. She turned to Flora and spoke.
"Flora, what do you think of Ghouls?"
"Ghou... what thing?!"
"Ghouls. Would you like to become a Ghoul?"
"Huh?!" Flora's voice shot up three octaves. Even through the Difference Engine's panel, Elliot could sense her terror.
"C-c-c-can I not turn into a monster? I mean, that Ghoul thing..."
Flora was on the verge of tears.
A Ghoul sounded hideous and vicious. It might even give off a disgusting stench.
She had spent so many years
