{{flavour|A small glass bauble containing an ominously glowing substance. Crushing it will flood you with transmutational energy, leaving your physical form unstable at a fundamental level.

In this state of flux, your melee attacks are much weaker, but each strike will contaminate whatever you hit with transmutational energy - eventually causing significant damage to them as their body twists and deforms. The lack of certainty in your physical form also makes you much harder to hit, though you glow in a way that hinders stealth.

The power contained in each bauble is finite, and once it is exhausted by spreading it to enemies, you will return to your previous form.}}
[[File:Flux_bauble.png]]A '''flux bauble''' is a [[bauble]] that temporarily changes you into '''Flux Form'''.

[[Shapeshifter]]s start with 3 flux baubles.

==Useful Info==
When e'''V'''oked, a flux bauble turns you into Flux Form, which lasts until a certain number of attacks.

Flux Form has the following effects:

'''Combat Bonuses'''
*[[Unarmed Combat]]: 3 base damage (''no boost'').
*'''Contaminating Attacks''': When you hit an enemy, you contaminate them. The first hit inflicts [[Corona]]. The third hit inflicts [[malmutate]], deals heavy damage, and resets contamination. This deals 2d5 damage at 0 skill, 2d15 damage at 5 skill, 2d33 damage at 14 or more skill, with linear scaling in-between.
*'''Bonus EV''': +6-16 EV (depending on skill)
*All melee damage is reduced by -50%.

'''Restrictions'''
*'''[[Transformation#Useful Info|Melded Gear]]:''' [[Weapon]], [[shield]], [[body armour]], [[gloves]].
*You cannot [[throw]] items.
*'''Glowing:''' You are revealed if [[invisible]], and your [[stealth]] is greatly reduced.

Flux Form does not block any [[mutation]]s, does not change your [[size]], and gives no innate bonus to HP / [[AC]].

Flux Form has a minimum of 5 [[Shapeshifting]] skill, below which you get an [[Talisman#Skill|HP penalty]], and the contamination effect and EV bonus scale down. It has a maximum skill of 14; further skill has no further impact.
