Description
Some studies I did to show about how the point of separation would look like when Tychus detaches somewhere. I'm not entirely sold on the glow effect but I think it helps denote the magical nature of the change.

Usually all it takes to remove a piece from Ty -- when he's not actively opposing it -- is a forceful tug, at which point the part in question will just cleanly pop right off. Tychus experiences no pain from the process, and actually describes it as 'warm' and 'pleasant'. Ty is still able to move his pieces remotely, regardless of distance, and is able to somehow perceive things in the nearby area through them.

If a piece other than the head remains detached for too long, Ty can fairly quickly generate a replacement, with the speed being dependent on the body-mass that he has to replace. Hands and feet, being extremities, are the easiest to replace, then arms and legs, and so on. The left over 'spare' is still alive, however, and retains a 'shadow' of Tychus' personality, occasionally developing minds of their own and getting into trouble, although he can assert control over them with a little bit of focus. He's still not sure how much control he actually has over his body sometimes, and isn't really keen on testing it out; nor is he keen to explore what the limits of his ability to regenerate pieces are.
