In the mirror, Nathan's reflection introduces the target reflection to change, molding it into a new form, making it a replication of something else. The physical body will slowly follow suit, taking time to adapt to these massive changes.
The capability is eerily similar to their power to create replications that exist in the physical realm. Like that capability, it'll take more practice for this to be permanent. The reflection innate desires to warp its form back to its original.

When Harry Johnson calls upon the legendary might of Svyatogor, he becomes the living embodiment of this ancient bogatyr’s indomitable spirit. In this state, Harry’s very presence on the battlefield transforms—he moves with the effortless strength and unwavering resolve of a warrior forged in myth. His body, honed to perfection, exudes a quiet yet terrifying power, leaving no doubt that he is a force to be reckoned with.
Every movement is calculated, every strike purposeful. Like Svyatogor, whose strength was unmatched, Harry’s form is a testament to his absolute commitment to the fight. In this silent and focused state, he is not just fighting—he is the battle itself, a living manifestation of the warrior’s path. His senses are attuned only to the rhythm of combat, his mind stripped of all distractions, leaving behind a singular purpose: to see the fight through to its inevitable conclusion.
As long as he remains in this form, Harry is an unstoppable force, embodying the timeless legend of Svyatogor with every step, strike, and breath. This transformation is a declaration to his enemies: the fight has begun, and it will end only when Harry wills it to.
