Ankh knows she doesn't have the mana to cast another spell, but having a nakid woman falling out of the sky isn't exactly a good option either. So, she decides to do the necessary thing, knowing it will cause a great deal of pain.
She flies as high as she feels is safe and then begins the process. Concentrating she starts to feel the pain ripping through her body as she begins to convert her physical apptitude to mana. The pain is so great it almost makes her falter and she does drop in the air a foot or so before regaining her senses again.
She begins to cast then and feels the stab of paradox although compared to what she just did it was more like a mosquieto bite. Finally her new skin ripples across her former owl shape and the falcom returns. With a cry of triuumph and no small amount of pain, she returns to her companions.
