Editing Monsterization (section)

==The metaphysical aspect==

To the casual bystander, monsterization usually involves a woman becoming substantially more attractive and then raping that bystander. But from a magical standpoint, all the significant stuff happens invisibly. The fundamental difference between being a monster and ''not'' being a monster is that monsters have mamono mana inside them <ref>Usually this means having '''just''' mamono mana inside them, but there are marginal cases. Monster elementals have elemental magic too; [[Incubus|incubi]] have essence and mamono mana; and ''very small'' quantities of mamono mana can be tolerated by females without snowballing into monsterization.</ref> and non-monsters don't. If a female is exposed to enough mamono mana, it snuffs out her ability to produce essence; and the point at which this ability is destroyed is the point at which there is no chance of recovery. With only mamono mana left inside her, and no way to replenish her mana autonomously, milking men's semen for essence is from then on her <nowiki>#1</nowiki> source of magical sustenance. The reason that men can't be transformed into monster girls by this very same process is that men's autonomous essence generation is much faster (as is the volume produced this way), and gets faster still in the presence of mamono mana, so it can't be snuffed out [[Alp|except in very peculiar circumstances]]. Or by death, after which point mamono mana could do [[Skeleton|unspeakable things to your bones]] <ref>[[Skeleton]] profile: ''Zombies and other undead type monsters can fundamentally never rise from a man’s corpse; however, in the skeleton’s case, mana doesn’t dwell within the body, the body itself is made up of mana. They are an exception, and men’s bones can become monsters too.''</ref>.
