Normans body rearranges into something much more spindly and skittering. Their ribcage inverts and lances of bone jut out of a newly grown thorax into vestigial limbs. They crawl on all fours, carried by fingers elongated so far that their skin can barely stretch to accommodate them. Their head splits in half, morphing into something halfway between the mouth of a shark and the pincers of an ant.

Jake tensed his body just as he was once instructed... before an overwhelming pain coursed through his body, feeling like he was burning alive from the inside out. He couldn't help but scream as he felt his back start to swell like a balloon, his skin darkening substantially as he held his head. He coughed up blood and bile as his arms began to unfold and expand, his skin growing soft and malleable - then the true horror began.
His body would swell and shrink, swell and shrink, like a mix between a bubble and a lung... And it kept growing. Eventually, it grew until it was twice his original size before unfolding into an array of flesh, bone, and blood, dancing and layering on itself as it took on a new, terrible form: his head was longer, like the Xenomorph if half of the back of its head was missing. His jaw opened and fell slack, easily going past a foot in length. His back was heavily arched into a slouching position as it looked incredibly swollen, spines protruding at random points from it as it's spine extended out before slowly retracting back in. Then there were his limbs... His arms were thin yet layered with muscle while his legs were spindly and long, his feet and hands now reduced to bone talons and claws respectively. Instead of a cry of pain, it let out a series of wet clicks before it's throat opened to reveal a flesh sack, which inflated as the thing let out a deafening roar, declaring dominance and a demand for bloodshed.

Amy brings her hand to her chest and closes her eyes for a moment. There is a burst of light - her inner light - before it spreads over her in a flash, her clothes transforming into her Regalia.
Although she looks similar in a way, she also seems to age. It's not quite a physical transformation, but there's a bit of that. It's mostly... she bares the weight of previous lives on her, a certain gravitas. Unless her transformation is witnessed by someone with their own eyes, they'll automatically doubt any attempt to link the identities.
In her mundane identity a Princess is barely more magical than the average man, but in her transformed identity... Ah, what a difference that is. Magic flows through her body; it is on the level of blood or bone. Her magic makes her stronger, more charismatic, or smarter.
Under magical examination a Princess can see that spells and enchantments are as much a part of her body as carbon atoms or neurotransmitters.
Dual Identity: An innate magical effect common to all Princesses, Dual Identity makes it exceptionally difficult to realise a Princess’ mundane and transformed identities are the same person.
