Cid - Amped Headmaster

Lutheran retrieves a red pill from his breast pocket and swallows it before producing the Eye of Avarice and its command device.

“The Eye’s true worth becomes apparent when the items are combined. Like this.”

The two artifacts clank as they’re joined, emitting a radiant light that forms into a helix of shining letters from an ancient alphabet. Lutheran laughs as he holds the artifacts to his chest.

“Here and now, I’ll be reborn.”

It sinks into his chest and clothes and skin, as if submerged into water.

“AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaah!!” Lutheran roars as he claws at his chest.

The glowing ancient letters gather around him, engraving themselves into his body. A blinding luminescence dyes the room white.

Then the light dims, and Lutheran is found kneeling in white smoke.

He rises to his feet at a leisurely pace. When he looks forward, a series of small, glowing letters has been etched into his face like a tattoo.

“Fantastic… Incredible… My powers are returning, and my disease will be cured!”

Lutheran stands in the middle of a torpedo of flames that undulate under the force of his powerful magic. The glowing letters aren’t just engraved in his face but also his hands and neck.

“You can never fathom my frenzied strength! This magic has far surpassed all human limitations!” Lutheran sneers.
