Reaching in John grabbed the sunglasses with the tacky star shaped lenses. Unfolding them he gave them a quick look over then after failing to see anything on them that could be considered magical or special in anyway. And looking around his apartment didn't reveal anything either beyond the glasses were not even very good sunglasses as they didn't even filter out light and make his vision a bit darker.
Feeling disappointed John went to his bathroom to look in the mirror and hopefully at least get a chuckle out of seeing how ridiculous he must look wearing the star shaped glasses.
That disappointment vanished the second he looked in the mirror. Around him floated small symbols all about him that depicted whatever part of him they were next to with a plus and minus on either side of them along with some more he didn't quite understand. Although there was only one symbol for things he had two of likes arms and legs and some of the symbols had more than one plus beside them.
"Ok, so its not a bunch of cheap junk." John muttered to himself as his mind filled with excitement and wonder.
Figuring a bit of testing was in order as he reined himself in tried touching the symbol for his arms. Only for his finger to pass right through it. Trying again he found he could touch the pluses and minus parts though they weren't solid more like touching mud as his finger slide through if he used too much strength.
The effect touching those symbols got him worked right back up as his arms changed size. The top plus made his muscles inflated, the middle one caused his arm to shrink and hands become more slender and feminine, the bottom thickened it with fat while the minus undid those changes or by itself thinned his arm. The changes were painless with the only thing he noticed was a slight feeling of tightness from his sleeves when he made his arms a bit too big with muscle and fat.
Some more testing revealed if he cupped his hand and sort of scooped in a direction he could move the symbols around allowing him to easily reach ones like his feet. But he also found that if not acted on the symbols would begin drifting back to the area they represented and could only about a foot away from his body.
Feeling properly prepared and adventurous John decided to...
