Elemental Masters	comment	The novels in the Elemental Masters series, by Mercedes Lackey, are a mix of historical fiction and fantasy, with a big scoop of fairy tales stirred in. Most of them are set in the late 1800s-early 1900s.The books â€œofficiallyâ€� in this series are: The Serpent's Shadow (Snow White) The Gates of Sleep (Sleeping Beauty) Phoenix and Ashes (Cinderella) The Wizard of London (The Snow Queen) Reserved for the Cat (Puss in Boots) Unnatural Issue (Donkeyskin) Home from the Sea (Tam Lin) Elemental Magic - An anthology of short stories about Elemental Masters and Magicians. Steadfast (The Steadfast Tin Soldier) Elementary - Another anthology Blood Red (Red Riding Hood) From a High Tower (Rapunzel) A Study In Sable (The Twa Sisters) A Scandal in Battersea (The Pied Piper of Hamelin) The Bartered Brides (Bluebeard) The Case of the Spellbound Child (Hansel and Gretel) Jolene (The Queen of the Copper Mountain) The Silver Bullets of Annie Oakley - to be published January 2022. From the amazon.com description, this will be at least partly a companion piece or even sequel to From a High Tower. Possibly inspired by Annie Get Your Gun.The Fire Rose (Beauty and the Beast) uses the same pattern and tropes as the official books (though with minor differences, including a slightly different magic system and being set in America instead of Britain/Europenote Essentially making it somewhat like a prototype ), but was published by a different company so isnâ€™t normally included in a list of the series. However, it will be included on this page.

Elemental Masters / int_100b0199	type	The Wicked Stage
Elemental Masters / int_100b0199	comment	The Wicked Stage: In the series, particularly The Serpent's Shadow and Reserved for the Cat, ballet dancing (and to a lesser extent other forms of acting) are seen as essentially vehicles for prostitution or stripping. Ballerinas are paid like crap but have opportunities to acquire male patrons, who pay very well indeed for their services; meanwhile, a can-can dancer lives off of tips from showing her legs. In an aversion, the viewpoint characters don't see this as dishonorable, but society as a whole finds the business rather skeevy (as well as the Back-Alley Doctor helping these women).

The villain needs a virgin sacrifice, and remarks that while the gender doesn't matter, it's so much easier to verify a woman's virginity than a man's. The Big Bad in A Scandal in Battersea requires virgin sacrifices in order to fully break into our world. It doesn't care if they're male or female, only that they have to be given in pairs, with one taken as a sacrifice and other (who has to be of high enough station to get sent by their family to a mental institution) removed of their souls and left alive for its own purposes.

The Air Master in the squad follows her a minute later to do the same.

Elemental Masters / int_209d0b5f	comment	Wainscot Society: Magical society in London and America is generally hidden from the muggles, mostly because most supposed magicians are fakes like Aleister Crowley. There's no Masquerade in place, but magicians generally don't advertise themselves as magical to avoid standing out. Out in rural areas (and in India, according to Shivani), however, there's not so much separation between magical and nonmagical; most of the locals in Yorkshire practice the May Day rites and leave milk out for the brownies, and Charles Kerridge's manor openly uses Earth Magic in their cottage industry. Also, during World War I, there's secret collaboration between the mundane government and the White Lodge. In rural Germany and Eastern Europe, most magicians don't interact much with each other, but every magician knows a few others and the location of the local BrÃ¼derschaft lodge: Ãœberwald is too dangerous for a Magician to go completely solo. The BrÃ¼derschaft itself is a loose collection of lodges who deal with monsters and Dark Magicians; the usual practice is to send out a Hunt Master and have them gather the local talent to help with the Hunts.

She also doesn't ask permission before getting involved in things, such as attaching herself to Cody's travelling show on the off chance that it ends up kicking a hornet's nest (though in her defense, it's the Black Forest and not a place for an untrained magician to be travelling unescorted).

Elemental Masters / int_297ab1b9	comment	Parental Abandonment: In The Serpent's Shadow, the death of the protagonist's magician mother quickly led to the death of her father (since she had concealed him from a common enemy who objected to their marriage). The story opens after the protagonist has relocated to Victorian London in the hopes of escaping her family's enemy. The Gates of Sleep starts with Marina's parents agreeing to let Marina be raised by three of her godparents in secret. Phoenix and Ashes opens when the now-orphaned protagonist learns of the death of her father, who was set up by her stepmother. In The Wizard of London, Nan doesn't know who her father is, and her neglectful mother eventually tries to sell her for drugs or alcohol. Luckily, Nan gets rescued by the boarding school that is giving her their leftover food. In Reserved for the Cat, Ninette's father disappeared when she was a baby, and her mother dies shortly before the novel starts. (Subverted when we learn Thomas the cat is Ninette's father, transformed when he lost a magic duel. He did what he could for his wife and child, but there just isn't that much a cat can do.) In Unnatural Issue, Susanne's mother succumbs to Death by Childbirth and her father immediately pulls a I Have No Daughter upon finding out the news, leaving her to be raised by the servants. In Steadfast, Katie's parents die when their caravan somehow catches fire. In the ensuing grief, Katie is easily convinced by the owner of the circus her family worked for to marry the circus strongman, who turns out to be abusive. In From a High Tower, Giselle's father trades her to the Earth Master next door for a garden of vegetables to feed his large family. Later on, Giselle's kindly adoptive mother dies, and she has to go out into the world in order to earn money to live on.

Elemental Masters / int_2f94135c	type	Thou Shalt Not Kill
Elemental Masters / int_2f94135c	comment	Thou Shalt Not Kill: Good magicians and masters normally avoid using their Elementals to do harm, though this appears to be either a personal choice or dictated by their teachers' tradition. Evil ones practically revel in it, and make generous use of Dark Elementals that enjoy causing pain and death. This doesn't apply in The Fire Rose. Both Jason Cameron (who is morally somewhat ambiguous) and Rosalind (who isn't) are willing to call Elementals for battle. America's magical society is far more violent than Europe's, however. Katie's teachers impress this rule on her to keep her from solving the problem of her abusive husband by just burning him down, because it would destroy the innocence of her Elementals and possibly lead her down the dark path. This could also be because one of her mentors and eventual husband Jack, is suffering from either PTSD or serious depression from soldiering in the Boer War, due to participating (under orders) in a massacre of a native tribe. As for Lionel... Katie is a very new magician, and she's coming to it very late (most Elemental magicians start training either as a child, or early puberty); it's possible that murder by elemental could set a dangerous precedent as well, and her age means it will be very difficult to train out of her magic. There's also an implication that while some of the "Dark" Elementals are always that way by nature, some of them were corrupted by doing things like killing for Dark magicians. Giselle, after reliving her accidental first kill, resolves never to ask her playful, friendly air elementals to harm anyone for her again. She doesn't apply this to herself, however, and by the end of her book is almost as formidable a warrior as Rosamund herself. Rosamund doesn't obey this rule, and freely asks Elementals' aid in battle and even for assassination. It helps that, given the nature of her duties, she has a couple of pagan gods of war and the hunt on speed-dial. It's implied that knowing how to not only recruit Elementals, but knowing when it's appropriate to ask them for help, and what kind of help you can ask them for without tainting them or your own magic is part of the BrÃ¼derschaft's training for Hunt Masters (and you can't be one without having enough power to do so). If you cover the above examples, Katie is a civilian, Giselle is a military recruit in training, the BrÃ¼derschaft is army and Rosamund is SAS.

Justified in that they are all Elemental Masters and Mages, which means that they can tell really quickly if someone is right for them or not. Lionel in Steadfast even thinks to himself that he's heard of Mages/Masters meeting for the first time and then eloping the next week in Gretna Green, not having the patience to get a license and post banns first. To be fair, in Marina's case, her groom-to-be insists that she be introduced to society and have a proper Season in London, where she could have the chance to make another match (given their social differences). She ends up having two Seasons - and comes back to marry him anyways. In Jolene, protagonist Anna May and her beloved Josh agree to 'start courting' after meeting all of twice. In this case, Anna May's Aunt Jinny (backed by Josh's parents) insists that since Anna May is only sixteen and Josh is literally the first man to show mutual interest in her, they have to wait until Anna May's eighteen to marry. Anna May and Josh marry just a few months later, but it's part of a ploy to keep Anna May from being indentured.

The magic system is slightly different—the main character must pass a "test" by summoning and making a pact with an elemental to begin her magical training, and during this the sylph she summons tries to trick her into madness, when in later books no one begins by calling an elemental and sylphs are wholly benevolent unless provoked. It also spells magic as magick, which never happens again. Which brings into question whether it truly counts as part of the series, or is more like a prototype.

Elemental Masters / int_590eb583	comment	Katie's teachers impress this rule on her to keep her from solving the problem of her abusive husband by just burning him down, because it would destroy the innocence of her Elementals and possibly lead her down the dark path. This could also be because one of her mentors and eventual husband Jack, is suffering from either PTSD or serious depression from soldiering in the Boer War, due to participating (under orders) in a massacre of a native tribe. As for Lionel... Katie is a very new magician, and she's coming to it very late (most Elemental magicians start training either as a child, or early puberty); it's possible that murder by elemental could set a dangerous precedent as well, and her age means it will be very difficult to train out of her magic.

Peter means stone and Peter Scott marries Maya, an Earth Master. The other Peter follows him in Unnatural Issue, with his love interest being also an Earth Master.

Germany and Eastern Europe is a bit more complicated since monsters are roaming its forests and therefore the Hunt Masters and local witches can usually pass muster, but it's not mainstream. The Pawnee are the only group confirmed to not have a Masquerade of any sort (although they still hide their magic from other cultures, for obvious reasons), while the traditions of African, Indian, and Romani magicians and psychics are only glimpsed. Shivani's thoughts indicate that in India, magic is known of but feared, and people stay away from it unless they have no other choice.

As the prostitutes working in her paint shops start to think of themselves as "fallen women," they stop trying to avoid vanity, unhealthy and degrading sex acts and spiritual decay. Some of the women avert this - because they never believed that Sex Is Evil in the first place, they're able to maintain a healthy sexuality and their prostitution causes them no spiritual harm.

Another example from Elemental Magic: "The Glass Coffin". Steadfast = "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" Blood Red = "Little Red Riding Hood" In Elementary, one story is based on "Hansel and Gretel" (but in a good way), another on "Snow-White and Rose-Red", and a third on "Little Red Riding Hood" - this last is noteworthy as it has now become the first chapter of Blood Red. From a High Tower features a retelling of '"Rapunzel"'s not-so-happily-ever-after ending. Also, at one point, Giselle and Rosa have to stop a "Hansel and Gretel" story. A Study In Sable is The Twa Sisters. A Scandal in Battersea is loosely based on "The Pied Piper of Hamelin". The Bartered Brides is based on "Bluebeard". The Case of the Spellbound Child is based on "Hansel and Gretel" Jolene is based on Russian fairy tale "The Queen of the Copper Mountain".

Rosamund von Schwarzvald is an exceptional case; she's an Earth Master, but Air elementals (even greater elementals) talk to her and work with her freely, and she can and does teach a fledgling Air Master.

It can be used by those without magical power of their own through Blood Magic (though full magicians can use that more easily), it can allow any mage to compel spirits regardless of their element, and also allows dealing with elementals of the Dark, such as ice elementals and trolls. Most (but not all) Necromancy is done through Black Magic, with Richard Whitestone (a fallen Earth Master) being the standout example, able to raise the dead on an industrial scale.

Sarah finds two ghost children, who believed that they were destined for Hell for being bad kids, and opens the road to Heaven for them. The pagan Summerland also serves this function. It's primarily for the dead who followed the old Druidic religion, but in some situations where a Christian ghost can't make it to Heaven but doesn't deserve Hell, the Puck arranges for them to go to Summerland as well.

Elemental Masters / int_a24670a4	type	Benevolent Boss
Elemental Masters / int_a24670a4	comment	Benevolent Boss: The closest thing Alexandre Harcourt has to a redeeming feature is his generosity and mutual respect towards his valet. In Reserved for the Cat, Nigel Barrett is stated to treat all his employees in the theater well, paying them fair wages, not overworking them or demanding a share of tips, and regularly putting things in the way of those that need them. This fair treatment leads to his employees having Undying Loyalty to him to the point that it's described as "there was not a man or woman in that theater who would not have stood between Master Nigel and a runaway elephant." Charles Mayhew, the owner of the music hall in Steadfast, is also stated to be this. It's mentioned that he is fair in his pay and hours, fair in how he ran his hall, and people like working for him. Hence why just about everyone working in the music hall was worried when the "Russian ballerina" he had hired canceled her contract, since if Charlie went under, whomever that took the venue would probably not be nearly so nice (and why they all came together to help him come up with a substitute ballerina.) Most good Elemental Masters that are wealthy are this towards their servants/household staff. The Kerridges in Unnatural Issue, while still acknowledging the difference in station, are fairly egalitarian towards their servants. The Graf in Blood Red is the same, and would rather a room go undusted than find the maid was too tired from her duties to help with magical protection in case of an emergency. It probably helps that all the staff in those two households have some elemental magic, or at least knows about its existence.

The novel's main location is a theatre/music hall, and it's a retelling of Puss in Boots! A Study in Sable and A Scandal in Battersea are slightly-adjusted versions of the titles of two of the most well-known Sherlock Holmes stories; these books both feature Sherlock Holmes, John Watson and Mary Morstan Watson.

There's no Masquerade in place, but magicians generally don't advertise themselves as magical to avoid standing out. Out in rural areas (and in India, according to Shivani), however, there's not so much separation between magical and nonmagical; most of the locals in Yorkshire practice the May Day rites and leave milk out for the brownies, and Charles Kerridge's manor openly uses Earth Magic in their cottage industry. Also, during World War I, there's secret collaboration between the mundane government and the White Lodge.

Elemental Masters / int_a8357dc2	comment	No Woman's Land: England in The Edwardian Era is like this. An unmarried woman is just a second-class citizen without the right to vote and threatened by harassment, and who can be moved around like a game piece by her relatives, but a married woman is about one step up from a slave, and her husband has virtually the power of life and death over her. Women with magic can normally avert this, however, as they can normally support themselves without marrying and choose husbands who will be good for them. The only protagonist who faces the full force of this trope is Kate from Steadfast, when her husband finds her; she's married to an abusive Jerkass and her mentors are unusually reticent to let her simply kill him herself.

Elemental Masters / int_bed47e72	comment	Element No. 5: The element of "Spirit" is mentioned in The Fire Rose and later in Blood Red (and briefly in The Serpent's Shadow, albeit from the perspective of a non-Elemental Indian mage). There aren't specifically any Spirit Mages, though there are psychics that seem to be related to the element, and the Unicorn (a Spirit Elemental) is implied to be an angel. There are heavy implications that the element is linked to the Abrahamic God and to Heaven. A Spirit Master finally appears in A Study In Sable and they seem to be necromancers in the more traditional fashion - that is, those who speak and communicate with ghosts, as well as empower them and do limited magic to do with ghosts. The exact abilities - and what makes them different from mediums, aside from not being able to open "gates" to the after life - are later explained in The Bartered Brides as having all sorts of spirits, including those of the other four elements, become willing aides. Spirit mages are as rare to magicians as magicians are to the general population, and when one of them turns to darkness it creates a necromancer of terrifying power. It's also revealed that Nan and Sarah are a Spirit Magician and a Spirit Master respectively.

Elemental Masters / int_c6102eb0	comment	Grand Theft Me: Lady Cordelia's plan for David Alderscroft. Her primary aim is to gain the political power she can't claim in a female body, but it's indicated that she will also use this technique to become immortal (by moving into new bodies on a regular basis). An interesting variant in Unnatural Issue: Richard Whitestone intends to summon his wife's soul from beyond death, and install it into their daughter's body... Grand Theft Her, maybe? The climax of A Study in Sable is a borderline example. Johanna's ghost seizing her sister Magdalena's body upon helping send the murderess to her reward was clearly not planned ahead of time and surprised everyone, but it is unclear whether it was a complete accident or a 'might not work but what do I have left to lose' impulse. In The Bartered Brides, Moriarty intends to cheat death this way. His magician succeeds in tearing out the soul, but Caro jumps into the body before he can, and his Soul Jar being shattered means that he's not getting a second chance at it.

Elemental Masters / int_c6c5ce4	comment	Bedlam House: In Phoenix and Ashes, Allison intends to have her orphaned step-daughter Eleanor locked up in an asylum like this in order to get control of her fortune. Defied and Invoked in The Gates of Sleep. Physician and Earth Master Andrew Pike tries to help the both the charity cases and the upper-class paying patientsnote mainly women burned out on social obligations, but he keeps a close eye out for worse issues he milks for operating funds to the best of his knowledge and power at the sanitarium he set up, but when summoned to the bedside of half-trained Water Mage Marina Rosewood in a magical coma by her suspiciously unconcerned aunt he pretends he never met hernote she had been helping him with a breakthrough in treating lead poisoning and plays a vaguely sociopathic experimenter stereotype to the hilt in order to get her out of there without arousing suspicion. Zig-zagged in A Scandal in Battersea. The sanitarium is of the "fancy place for rich patients", and is mostly well-run and benevolent - although it does confine people against their will at the behest of their families (as this was legal at the time), the patients are all treated very well and given the best of whatever care they do need. However, on the other hand, the plot kicks off because the head doctor ends up with a self-committed clairvoyant patient. Instead of immediately calling for someone who might be able to help her, he gives her drugs to strengthen her already uncontrollably strong power without getting her consent. He's hoping she can help him game the stock market; instead he accidentally traps her in a vision of the Big Bad hunting people. completely averted in The Case of the Spellbound Child; when asked to look into the case of a girl who's apparently gone mad, John Watson, Mary Watson, Nan, Sarah, Suki and Caro/Peter go to a hospital that, to their astonishment, is completely the opposite of this.

Lackey obviously took note of the happy coincidence of all the descriptions of the Queen of the Copper Mountain matching the title character of Dolly Parton's song 'Jolene'; not only is Jolene the Queen's current human alias, the major climax is all but a fictionalisation of the song. also in Jolene; early in the book, Anna May spends an evening being read to from a book of German folktales. Two of them are clearly The Twa Sisters and Hansel and Gretel; these stories were the inspiration for two earlier Elemental Masters books.

The first time his name is Nigel, the second time his name is Roger. In Reserved for the Cat, Ninette's mother is named Marie or Maria almost interchangeably. Though perhaps a typo or author error, many people didn't use consistent spellings for their names until at least 1930, and Marie/Maria were in period interchangeable. In Unnatural Issue, Susanna makes a charm bundle and uses it to create a doppleganger of herself so she can sneak off to practice magic. When she runs away from home she's specifically described as burning the bundle and scattering the ashes, as it could be used against her if it got into her evil father's hands. Yet towards the end of the novel it's said that the bundle could not be destroyed by mere burning as it was a magical object and Susanna still had it with her—conveniently, as the good guys could then use it in their plan to draw out dear old dad.

Subverted in one instance in Blood Red. When Rosamund teaches a village elder to use a seeking spell, she instructs him to use blessed salt. The blessing is unnecessary, but it doesn't hurt anything and makes the magic seem more benign to her superstitious student.

Elemental Masters / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: When forced to be, Lord Alderscroft is this, being the stern patriarch of the Exeter Club and the one man who's most responsible for keeping rogue mages from running wild in England and maintaining good relations with the local elementals. However, while he can be trusted to do the right thing in the end, until then, he's often not much help. Unnatural Issue explains that this is in a gamekeeper's job description. Theoretically, a gamekeeper is supposed to prevent all illegal poaching on his lord's land, but actually enforcing this just leads to a messy, covert war that benefits nobody. Both Robin Goodfellow and Peter Almsley, when they take on the job, instead confine themselves to ensuring that nobody overhunts the land they're responsible for. (Of course, in Robin's case, it helps that he couldn't care less about game laws, only about the good of the land.) Jolene has a brief appearance by the Ducktown sheriff; while having to escort the two Company representatives who are looking to make Anna May an indentured servant to pay her parent's debts - slavery by another legal name - when Anna May comes up with the money to pay it, he's more than happy to go along with and even add to Jinny's ideas to make sure the debt is actually cleared and the Company reps can't steal the money. Interestingly, Jolene herself; yes, she steals away Josh to be one of her 'chosen', and manipulated matters so that Anna May would end up in the clutches of the Big Bad. But when Anna May braves the mine to look for him and plead with Jolene, Jolene sends one of her own lizard familiars as a guide. When Anna May reaches her, Jolene allows her to plead her case, and takes her allegations about McDaran seriously, even though they'd been allies of a sort previously. Once Anna May and Josh prove their genuine devotion to each other, Jolene wishes them well, and even gives them a minor magical gift, which saves Anna May in the above situation with the Company reps.

While he has the rank and privilege to make life difficult for the good guys, he's also a Too Dumb to Live Smug Snake who insults his (female, Indian) occult adviser when he knows that magic is real and that she's better at it than he is. Reggie's grandfather in Phoenix And Ashes, due to his extremely abrasive personality (with no Hidden Heart of Gold in evidence) and complete lack of sympathy for Reggie's PTSD. The bullying constable Ewynnog in Home From the Sea, who seems to function as this in-universe as well. Nobody respects him but he has too much authority for people to be able to dismiss him entirely. Dick Langford, Katie's abusive, drunkard lout of a husband.

But when Anna May braves the mine to look for him and plead with Jolene, Jolene sends one of her own lizard familiars as a guide. When Anna May reaches her, Jolene allows her to plead her case, and takes her allegations about McDaran seriously, even though they'd been allies of a sort previously. Once Anna May and Josh prove their genuine devotion to each other, Jolene wishes them well, and even gives them a minor magical gift, which saves Anna May in the above situation with the Company reps.

Elemental Masters / int_e94ff7e2	comment	Financial Abuse: When Katie's husband Dick finally catches up to her, he lives off of the good salary she gets from her job at the music hall and keeps close track of the money she spends so that she can't hide any away. Alison forgot to make Eleanor's father change his will before she got him killed. She pockets the regular allowance Eleanor gets from the estate, and forces Eleanor to write regular letters to the law firm in charge of the estate asking for additional money for extra expenses. A minor character in The Gates of Sleep was a child chess prodigy whose father forced him to play exhibition games for money until the kid had a nervous breakdown. (After Dr. Pike brings the boy out of it, he teaches the boy how to pretend his breakdown removed his chess skills — meaning the boy won't be abused this way again.) In Jolene, it's clearly shown how the Company Town abuses it's workers financially, firstly by only paying in Company scrip instead of actual money, which secondly forces them to shop at the Company store which has horribly inflated prices. Part of the urgency of the climax involves protagonist Anna May, the only child of a miner and his wife who died deeply in debt to the Company escaping indentured servitude i.e. legal slavery by the skin of her teeth. The Big Bad already had two women as 'servants' who are deduced to be indentured, and subsequently have no legal recourse against the man who abuses them mentally, physically and sexually.

Elemental Masters / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: Mercedes Lackey is in love with this trope: Earth mages not only use their healing powers to become doctors or farmers (they prefer rural life since the soil is polluted in cities), but use Earth Magic to handle household tasks such as making cheese. They can also apply their talents to geology. Water Masters make their fortune in shipping, sailing, or navigation. They also tend to show up as physical (rather than performing) artists and priests - (at least more than the other types. Air Mages/Masters tend to be entertainers. This is a major plot point in Reserved for the Cat and Steadfast. In Reserved for the Cat, Air Master Nigel is the impresario of a music hall and Air Magician Arthur composes and directs the orchestra (with help from Wolfgang). In Steadfast, Lionel is an Air Magician who uses Air Magic to enhance his illusions as a stage magician. Fire Masters have some ability to sense the movement of energy, which means they can do well in the commodity market. They can burn off foreign substances, as Eleanor did to overcome a dose of opiates, so they also provide quite a few doctors. They also tend towards entertainers (possibly from an inborn flamboyance??) in From a High Tower, Captain Cody Lee, who owns and is a star act in a Wild West Show, turns out to also be a Fire Magician, and in Reserved for the Cat the star performer at Nigel's music hall is a stage magician who is also a Fire Mage. The heroine of Steadfast is an acrobat and dancer, who finds out she is a Fire Master. And of course, they never have to eat burned food.

Elemental Masters / int_f8b3fa5d	type	Our Werewolves Are Different
Elemental Masters / int_f8b3fa5d	comment	Our Werewolves Are Different: Blood Red has two different types of werewolf show up, and refers to two others. All of them are apparently vulnerable to silver and wolfsbane. Sorcerers can use Blood Magic and a wolfskin belt to become werewolves. They have superhuman strength and a hybrid man-wolf form, plus enhanced healing. They have to cast the shifter spell each time they take wolf form, but apparently can return to human form without another Human Sacrifice. Members of the werewolf bloodlines gain the ability to turn into wolves after they're weaned. They retain the same body mass whether wolf or human (youngsters turn into wolf cubs), their human intellect, and normal strength. If they spend too long in wolf form, they can lose themselves in the wolf's instincts. Their change is completely voluntary, and can take place at any time as long as the werewolf isn't in sunlight. They have supernatural healing (which includes healing diseases), but only when in wolf form. Their bite does not create other werewolves. It's possible for someone to be either infected or cursed with lycanthropy. We don't see an example of either on-page, but it's implied that they almost always "go bad" as the human mind loses itself in the wolf instincts as the shift occurs.
