Reward Type: Upgrading from Simple spell to Deadly Spell (See below)) Link to AC Post:Amazing... Description: Reira's going to spend the winter vacation trying to make her daemon solid; and she'll succeed, potentially early into said vacation! GREAT. AMAZING.
But after some discussion with others, I've opted to pay for this as a 'deadly' upgrade rather than 'complex', for the following reasons-while including a self-imposed timeline over which the spell will actually get there. (At the very least, Reira won't even be able to ride her Daemon until after Winter Vacation)
The reasons for upgrading via Deadly are as follows;
1) Since Reira is a child, her daemon is not only not settled, but far more transient and malleable; a daemon's form at this point is limited only by the imagination. It could be as small as a flea, or as large as a whale, and in that same vein, could even be something as mythic as a DRAGON if one thought about it. ...And Reira has a literal library of those sorts of things in her head.
2) Through their entire time together, Reira and her daemon have performed more or less as extensions of the other; at the base, this means doing such things as flying her around, or even moving bit by bit ahead for her to 'platform' her way toward something. This alone probably could have stayed within Complex, however...
3) While no amount of pain tolerance would prevent the likely dispersal of the spell resulting from backlash Soul Pain, Reira and her Daemon were and still are willing to use the latter in any form of self defense...And if that daemon is big enough, those teeth are also going to be big enough-daemons may not be able to create new abilities from their forms (No fire-breath from the dragon daemon, for example)-but their physical abilities are determined by their forms. This point, in the end, is the biggest reason I'm opting to pay for this as a Deadly Spell, while personally stretching out how long it would take for Reira's Daemon to be able to maintain its own strength as a solid being. A Big Bite is still pretty deadly; even if it makes the spell cancel out for a time.
TLDR - Reira's Daemon is basically a magical guard summon that could take any given form she thinks of, including Large and Bitey, and as far as this appears, therefore poses enough momentary risk in combat scenarios that I felt it'd be cheese-weasely of me to just pay as complex.
(Naturally beyond all of this, I'm pretty flexible on any adjustments you'd want me to make, and am open to any suggestions re: a timeline)

ETA: Re-linking her Daemon form from before, in case it's necessary
