Flanz - Hoof and weakness

Makepeace finally entered the picture. He lifted his shield to cover his face while his other hand drew his sword. One snap, one instant, and that hand turned into a hoof. It fumbled against the sword's hilt, capable of holding nothing, and the sword dropped like Charm's tears.

But nothing else about Makepeace changed. If Flanz-le-Flore couldn't change Makepeace's nonmetal head behind his metal shield, then line of sight must be a factor.

Great to know! Better to know before Jay got himself turned into a rat, because as it stood he didn't have anything to do.
