The Twisting denotes the effects visited upon the Living by the reality wrinkle of Isolde. Those who remain near her for too long are warped physically. Their bodies shift in an expression of their inner nature. The change is not permanent, but it takes much longer to reverse than the time that it has been in effect. Isolde keeps the Twisting in check by force of will. By ceasing this effort and letting the fury of her reality wrinkle loose, she creates the abominations. Equally, Isolde can, by a partial and precise loosing of her hold, engage in deliberate works of fleshcrafting, such as the restoration of Silessa to a elven form. Isolde is not troubled ethically by the Twisting. She deems it to be perfectly appropriate that one's appearance expresses one's true nature.
Professor Pacali has studied the Twisting and learnt too late that its effects are reversible. He guards jealously this knowledge.
