I thought I'd posted something for Xir'ain a week ago, but apparently it never got posted. I don't think this is quite as good as the original, but it'll have to suffice. Xir'ain's new form is a mix of physical transformation, illusion, and mind control. The viewers' minds actually reinforce the image into something inhumanly enthralling. In short, they see him as something perfectly tailored to what they imagine as the ideal human being. Xir'ain hasn't lost his true form though. He can revert back to his original appearance as easily as a person changing clothes. Though a snake shedding its skin would be a more accurate representation of what happens.
