Well, before I start, I am really, REALLY sorry it took this long to get back to you. Either I was busy or distracted with other triffles. Now, on to the excerp:

It's a cool emotional scene meant to show Nick and Vellantha's connection, as well as the extent of Vel's powers. It's an awesome display of power on her part, outshined only by her being able to keep her reason in check (still abiding to pacifism even though she really wanted to stomp that mage and she knew it). And I think she likely looked scary but not to the point of looking hideous. And now for the gripes, sadly;

As I said before, I'm not too keen on Mamonos turning hideous or reverting to their primal forms because that always felt like a regression to their whole being. Take Dragons and all related Mamonos; people might find it badass how they can turn back to acient dragons but for me... I dunno, knowing how Mamonos were like before Lilith, this brings me to unfortunate implications, for some reason.

Second, the reason why I never agreed on Lilims being more 'eldritch' (besides the above point) is because I know they don't really are like that. Lilims take after their mother, right ? If so, that means that Lilith and her daughter were already in primal form. This is how they always were, just that they were always pacifists compared to other monsters of that time (or they came to 'pacifist' ways after some time), and thus why I always believed that Lilims don't either have or need that. That, and it might make them just look bad  :(

Not to berate artistic choices, of course; I have no right to tell you how you should do things. Doesn't mean your idea is bad either; I still find it cool in a way. But it also gives me mixed feelings. Maybe I need some time to warm up to the idea, who knows. I can tell that Vellantha is not your ordinary Lilims and that might be a good explanation for that.

All in all, I hope I explained my thoughts as best as posible and I also hope I wasn't rude. Regardless of what I said, I still believe you should stick with it. Good luck on the rest.
