I'm writing a story where my lead character has two forms and he swaps between them frequently. I'd like to know the advantages and disadvantages of various kinds of triggers for the transformation. Possible ideas: - Time of day (every x hours) - Emotional state (transforms when he gets angry) - Verbal (some "magic word") - Special scientific device I'd like to know if these different triggers (or others you can think of) have influences on story elements; like the plot or characterization or character psychology. In other words, what should I consider when choosing one over the others?
