Again, in my mind it isn't the Lacrima that is doing the changing. The Lacrima holds the DS Magic (or w/e the fuck it was stated to hold) and by releasing it, Laxus takes said Magic power into his body. The combination of the released Magic power and his body causes the changes and results in him being motion sick etc etc.

"Dragon Slayer Lacrima don't just provide raw magic power". No, in this case they provide raw DS power, but isn't that just like having a lithium battery and an alkaline battery? Both hold and provide power, but said power and its capabilities is slightly different.

It is not the Lacrima that is doing the changing, it is the Magic in the Lacrima that is responsible, but only after it has been released into Laxus' body (otherwise he'd always be a DS rather than choosing when to use it).

To be blunt though, I really don't give five fucks about Dragon Slayer Magic, so my want to argue it over is at zero ( .__.)~ Think what you want and I'll think what I want... *goes to get breakfast* :3
