Night Falls on Yensid - Jaunt Info

NIGHT FALLS ON YENSID
October 5-November 14

The land of Yensid was once primarily populated by three species--humans, the Stonefolk, and the Forest Folk. For generations, the three of them lived together in harmony, the bonds of which were strengthened by three parts of the Amulet of Yensid, which were brought together each year in a ceremony designed to strengthen the magic of the land. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk in particular rely upon this magic, for without it, Stonefolk become statues, and the Forest Folk become simple beasts. The humans simply used magic to make their lives a little easier.

But the amulet was lost, the magic went out of the land, and now only the humans rule. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk are thought of as nothing more than myth, but there's something to that myth...and parts of an amulet have just been put on display a thousand years later in the year 201X.

Enter the Travelers, with more history in this world than they know - indeed, Yensid was another of the jaunts lost to Moebius, and their last visit was at the time the pieces of the amulet were lost. Can they make up for their past failure this time around?

So canonically, Yakumo can magic people into different objects/forms/etc, for a set amount of time. I think the maximum time limit he's shown being able to give is an hour, to transform a human into the appearance of a monster. He also turns people into gloves, scarves, toys... basically anything.

So the question is, what limits should apply to this ability during this jaunt? The 1hr max limit and magic consumption is enough to deter him from constantly spamming the magic, but is there anything else I should take into account? Or is there something like his magic-casting will succeed, but not be what he wanted - eg trying to magic himself into a human form for 1hr will instead result in him becoming a tree.

If you want some sort of hilarious "oops, I'm a singing tree" wacky side effect, go for it because accidental transformations should so have to sing. But I'd say you'll be fine using the ability as is!
