After months of hard work within the guild, Doria was eventually assigned to work under one of the organization's more unorthodox luminaries, a man known as Dol. Dol was mostly known for originating a type of magic known as Biomancy, a technique that allowed for the manipulation of the physical body. Often used as a an alternative to normal surgery Biomantic magic allows for the rapid healing of the human body, as well as other less seemly uses. Doria took quickly to Dol, looking up to him as the pinnacle of the natural magic she practiced. As Dol's assistant, Doria acted as both errand girl and lab assistant, tending to any whim that her mentor may have. This relationship continued for some time, with Doria quickly becoming her mentor's favorite underling and asking the young mage to be the subject of a special experiment of his. As it turned out, this experiment involved using Biomantic magic to temporarily override a subjects physical structure with that of an entirely different species, allowing for a trans formative effect similar to that which occurs naturally in shape shifting races.
These experiments began simply enough, Doria would be isolated in an environment where she could not harm herself and others, then subjected to the above mentioned magic. Early experiments proved often silly to watch, as Doria could not control her new forms, among them a centaur, merfolk, and others, and would often struggle to even move in her new form. She eventually grew stronger and more adaptable, able to move with more grace and adapt her thinking to synch with her new form. However, there was a clear downside to being subjected to so much shapeshifitng magic in such a small time frame. Doria became quite addicted to the strange feeling that accompanied her changing form and sought it out more and more as the experiments went on. Though Dol saw the mental shift in his assistant, he did little about it and continued the tests anyway. As the human body can only take some magical manipulation without falling apart, Doria's continually shifting state eventually wore on the very basis of her being. Making her form unstable and open to taking on any form from which she was physically exposed to for more then a few seconds. This fact became quite evident when Dol noted Doria's complexion very much matched the merfolk she had been sent to deliver a stock of food to the previous day.
Dol, sensing that if news of Doria's condition ever reached the guild's higher up he would be in a sea of trouble, great ends to dispose of his star assistant. First having her copy the form of a common rat for the days experiment, then, ceasing the form's innate weakness, beat Doria unconscious and threw her into the day's trash. When Doria finally came to she found herself in a dump miles from the city and with no way to return until she could resume her natural state.
