Inari enjoys their ability to be whatever they want to be- so their “True form” that should be visible through their magic, doesn’t exist as a single form. Leaving Inari looking like a constantly shifting person… Also as some of you already expected, his clothes are made with illusion magic as most shifters use, which Phil just sees through.
The pros and cons of the power of the Null. 😅
I thought Phil saw illusionary clothes as sheer or transparent, at least when Michelle was modeling clothes he commented on that. It might depend on the person and situation though, since the Null powers have shown to be adaptive.
The clothes might only be illusioned onto their current form so every other of their forms would be naked.
I didn’t think I would ever have to explain this… but… If you get transparent clothes and wear them out to work or to college or just out to go shopping- do you think people are going to think you are going around naked or saying “Well- they are wearing clothes – so they aren’t naked-“? If you can see through the clothes, you are seeing them naked. He’s not saying he can’t see the clothes- he’s saying he sees them as naked because he is seeing through the “clothes”.
Better start buying (or making, or stealing) actual clothes instead of conjuring them up, kiddo.
How does Yuki look like to Phjl?
