Going through the card info I was disappointed about its obvious defects but it did prove my theory right so the card was satisfactory at best for the resources used to create it. 

Sending the card to Elliott's grimoire, I got up and walked towards the exit but was held back by Elliott's sudden soul churning scream. 

As Elliott equipped the origin card the soul core fused with his body and soul, his body underwent evolution right then growing clear scales on his skin and replacing bones with clear scales. 

Thankfully the card room was soundproof and the evolution did not last more than 5seconds the beauty of cards never failed to surprise me. To be able to replace a person's complete skeleton system under 5seconds was just magical. 

"Elliott, you okay?" I asked looking at sweat-soaked Elliott who seemed to be shedding his body hair. 

I knew what was happening, it seems Elliott's skin grew clear scales shedding his body hair, head hair, eyebrows and all the hair in his other places. 

Elliot got up from the ground and said," never better" clenching his hand into a fist. 

"Ahh ha ha.." Shedding all his hair the man pretty Elliott looked like a shimmering boiled egg with legs and arms.

As clear scales were nanometer in size and transparent in colour they could not be seen by naked eyes so Elliott's skin looked like normal skin. Sometimes Elliott's skin shimmered under the reflection of light. 

Elliott had already noticed the loss of his hair but soon a luscious hair covered his barren bald head. It seems he had a hair growth and dresser card with him. 

Seeing disband in my eyes he explained, "I have to look my best all the time in my line of work which is physically impossible so I keep some beauty cards with me, I did not think it would come in handy this way."

I understood him, looking your best is not just for your confidence but also for your opponents so that they don't underestimate you and lose respect for you, you do not want this in a negotiation. 

According to a great man, if you cannot have the upper hand in the negotiation then at least be equals in the negotiation. 

Seeing that he was okay I headed out but Elliott stopped and said, "I would like it if you kept my origin card details between us, I have a lot of enemies and it would be good to catch them off guard." 

"No probs, client and creator confidentiality so you are good." 

"Thank you for understanding. You would not mind if I used this card room to test the card abilities." 

"..."

"I will pay for any damages." 

"Okay! go head" 

Getting my consent Elliot tried out all the abilities of the card one by one. Seeing Elliott use the abilities I felt as if I was watching a 3D horror movie, his body bent in an unnatural way she passed through the lab floor, walls and ceiling.

Then finally Elliot took out a soul jade and fused it with his right arm, as he absorbed all the soul energy in it. 

As he absorbed the soul energy in the jade the clear scales went from transparent to light blue and then deep blue. 

As the clear scale turned deep blue Elliott had a sudden feeling of fullness, turns out Elliot's ability had its limit after all clear scale is like a stomach to Clear scale earthworm and there is a limit to how much energy the clear scales can absorb and added to that until the clear scale digests the energy absorbed completely he cannot fuse with other objects or energy.
