Concept Art 008 :Bloom Forms/ Lightbringer (Patreon)

As a Brief explanation, Bloom forms are limit break transformations, it is believed that some Arcadians can channel their Magh to a higher level resulting in a Bloom form, intense emotions can also trigger the transformations, but only really experienced individuals can transform at will.

All the party, besides probably Leila and Ixbal (which might have another form but is an overdrive transformation), are able to transform into their respective bloom form that also corresponds to their elemental affinity. For now, we will explore Asher's Bloom forms since they are the ones I have designed so far.

You might be wondering if Asher has no Magh how does he use a Bloom Form?
Well, the answer is simple, The heaven's key. The Heavenly blade has a special function made to complement Asher's lack of Magh, the blade has an Adamic cristal as its core which is able to recognize and memorize the aura color of magh nearby decoding it, then it channels Asher's Light (soul) and defragments the light in a way that it mimics the color of said magh( basically how prisms defragment light but in a magical/tech sense), that way the blade fuses with Asher and he achieves an artificial bloom form.

Ironically the one I'm showing you is his last endgame Bloom form or more Accurately "Lightbringer form" since in this case, the blade is just channeling Asher's overflowing light instead o mimicking magh. Bloom forms, in general, tend to be flower/plant-inspired and as you can see this one also started like that but it began to stray until it became the final concept, which makes sense since the plant/flower theme applies to magh users, not Lightbringers which are different entities. But in order to keep the theme, the name of this form is Brugmansia, the name of a flower also called Angel's trumpet, since this form is supposed to represent a lucifer that has been liberated from the cruel oppression of the fake god. (and if you are curious Lightbringer is the meaning of Lucifer's name in Latin so everything is very intentional).

The first ideas, as you see here, were drastically different and were initially inspired by FF9 Trance forms, of course, the floral visual theme is more present in the other transformations that I'll show you later, but I also try to not restrict myself to making them literal flowers and just try to achieve something cool looking. This form is the first I designed, which I then used as the visual reference for what the other forms should try to follow stylistically, can wait to show you the Fire form and Water form next week :)
