Shifters (Era-3)

"We're free. Nothing will hold us down! Now we can be normal and no longer held down by our corruption!" Shifters are a variant of gems who have been freed from the corruption, but they have instead gained the ability to shift between their regular form and their form while they were corrupted.

General Appearances
Mostly, they take features from their corrupted forms and integrate them into their normal forms. This was seen how Nephrite when becoming a shifter gained Chitin armor from when they were still corrupted.

Behavior
Shifters don't behave any differently from Normal gems, even in their corrupted forms they appear to act totally normal.

Origin
The shifters were created once a corrupted gem heard the Relic's song. Non-gem beings and Normal gems have no reactions to the song, however, once a corrupted gem hears the song it will writhe in pain as it turns back into its normal form. Once the transformation into a shifter is complete, they will enter a state of rest that can last from a few hours to a few days.
