"Okay," says Matilda. "I'll do my best to get them back right."
She looks very hard at Virac. She looks at where his shapeshifting magic used to be. She tries to look past it, to wherever it used to store those forms when there was magic there to access them with.
She puts ialdae in the places where the shapeshifting magic used to go, and tells it that its job is to be dragon shapeshifting magic. To hold onto his forms for him, all four of the ones he already had, and swap them out correctly when necessary, and for the leftover magic to wait around until he picks another form and then make that one and hold onto it the same way.
"Okay," she repeats, in a slightly more satisfied tone. "Try shifting now."
