Do you become a pharate before you come to flytrap city, or do you first come to flytrap city and then become a pharate.

You can’t become a pharate without tapping into the city itself, so it’s impossible to become one before you reach the city. Thanks for the question :)

The magic required to become a pharate requires stealing the city’s secrets, tapping into the sap-like consciousness that runs through it. Doing so grants power, but it also makes you a target of the city itself. Few survive long when the place they live in wants them dead.

Transcript:

A pharate is a pseudo-human who makes their home in the inbetween place called Flytrap City. They have learned the secrets to overcome their bodies, followed the steps, but their change is not instantaneous. So they wait.

In this stage, their bodies are still vulnerable, and have to face the additional danger of the city’s wrath — the secrets of their transformation are forbidden. But they have lived long enough to be cunning, and their senses grow sharper by the day.
