The old man dug through the latest items that came into his magic shop and came across something unusual. It was a black wrest watch. The band was some sort of ebon metal. The face a black hexagon with silver indicator marks at the 12, 6, 3, and 9 position. The hour and minute hands were red lines of LED lights within the watch that shined through its black surface. Their was an unusual third hand on the watch. It was a physical hand also red does not move on its own, instead you can turn it manually and the center attachment point is a button. He assumed it was a swap watch but far more modern than the other types of swap watches he has seen,
Rummaging through the box even deeper he found the instructions.
It was the role swap watch.
The default function is found at the 12 o clock position. When selected and the button pushed you must only picture two things that are swapped and push the button. The watch attunes to the users energy signature so if the user swaps himself the watch swaps with the user.
If used on humans it can swap two peoples roles. Each will get the other persons personality traits, belongings, relationships, and life with only the watches user is aware. (the user can swap himself and be aware too). The watch does not change bodies but if the human body contains things that are not a part of it (such as jewelery, artificial limbs, pregnancy, etc.) it stays with the role just like clothes do. The magic will adapt a man in a pregnant womans role to give birth through his male body.
If a human uses it to change his role with an animal he will find himself limited in movement and speech as the animal is. Thus manipulating objects with your hands, walking on two legs, and speaking will be difficult if not impossible.The animal in the human role will be able to manipulate things with their paws, be understood when it speaks, and walk on two legs or the equivalent. Yes, the user can swap two animals roles with each other.
the 3 o clock position allows someone to swap with inanimate objects or body parts. Inanimate object swaps CAN include some physical changes to accomidate the roles.Thus a girl swapped with a car will be large enough to fit people and assume a car like shape while the car will become human sized and able to function as a woman.
The 6 o clock position allows quality swaps. This is where you swap the qualities of an object instead of the objects role. Thus swapping a lady with a piece of trash could make her a slob. Swapping a man with a piece of feminine fabric could make him more feminine acting.
The 9 o clock position is explained as untested and experimental. It allows adding someone elses role to your own. The instructions warn against this as it is very contradictory and can be confusing.
The old man smiled and looked for a spot to put it on the shelf, "hmmm... lets see." He muttered to himself. Swamp Watch, Body Swap watch, Life swap watch, Part swap watch, personality swap watch, ah yes, here it goes, Role Swap Watch.
Just as he places it a customer walks into the store.
