Description and lore

Adaptation

A body's ordinary relationship with its surroundings briefly changes.

Lore and observations

Adaptation belongs to the moment before immersion or exposure, when preparation becomes a bodily feeling rather than a packed item.

The first submerged breath can feel profoundly strange even to a traveler who trusted the preparation.
