Description
Here’s a minor entry in my Kamen Rider Caster project; the different combinations of Caster’s Array Forms & Crest Changes.

Just as using different Crests with different Arrays results in different kinds of spells being cast, the abilities of Caster’s Crest Changes become different depending on the Array form that Caster is currently in.

Transfigure Array
-Sound Crest: Rather than affecting a listener’s emotions, the Transfigure Array grants the Sound Crest the power to generate debilitating sonic shockwaves when the instrument is played.
-Stealth Crest: Combined with the Transfigure Array, the Stealth Crest is able to bend light around any solid structure/object and render it invisible to outside watchers.
-Dowse Crest: As a consequence of being paired with the Transfigure Array, the Dowse Crest’s search range is reduced to that of the user’s sensory field; being no more effective than as a form of magnifying lens. Alternatively, the pendulum becomes much more effective as a weapon; being able to extend to any perceptible length & pierce through even concrete.
-Light Crest: When used with the Transfigure Array, the Light Crest allows Caster to wield light as simple physical objects such as staves, blades, or whips, though is retains its natural qualities such as heat & brightness.
-Copy Crest: While the Transfigure Array allows Caster to use the Copy Crest to create physical clones out of surrounding matter instead of illusionary ones, the clones themselves need to be given direct instructions; otherwise they simply imitate the movements of their creator.
-Greater Beast Crest: Using the Greater Beast Crest with the Transfigure Array allows Caster to reshape materials into forms resembling large animals, and allowing him to control the constructs as such.
-Lesser Beast Crest: Like the Greater Beast Crest, the Transfigure Array when combined with the Lesser Beast Crest grants Caster the ability to construct small animals from surrounding materials; useful for infiltrating places & performing delicate tasks.
-Thunder Crest: By using the Thunder Crest with the Transfigure Array, Caster becomes able to hold electricity in his hand; allowing him to deliver shocks with every strike.
-Plant Crest: Combining the Plant Crest with the Transfigure Array, Caster can reshape any plant life he comes into contact with in any manner that he chooses.
-Element Crest: When the Element Crest is used with the Transfigure Array, Caster is limited to manipulating the material elements of water & earth to form physical constructs.

Illusion Array
-Barrier Crest: Using the Illusion Array with the Barrier Crest allows Caster to conjure the illusion of an impassable barrier to his opponent.
-Restore Crest: By combining it with the Illusion Array, the Restore Crest becomes able to heal mental damage and dispel hallucinations; though it has no effect on trauma or mental states (such as insanity).
-Levitate Crest: Together with the Illusion Array, the Levitate Crest enables Caster to induce the disorientating feeling of weightlessness in any subject he chooses.
-Portal Crest: Utilizing the Illusion Array, the Portal Crest allows Caster to overlay an area with the illusion of another location from his memory.
-Shape Crest: When combined with the Illusion Array, the Shape Crest allows Caster to create the illusion of shifting the surroundings in any way that he can imagine; making a sunny day appear pitch black, hiding obstacles from sight, etc.
-Greater Beast Crest: Utilizing the Greater Beast Crest with the Illusion Array increases the strength of Caster’s senses of sight, sound, and smell.
-Lesser Beast Crest: In conjunction with the Lesser Beast Crest, the Illusion Array improves Caster’s sense of touch; being able to distinguish even the slightest differences on a surface.
-Thunder Crest: Combined with the Illusion Array, the Thunder Crest instills the sensation of paralyzing electrical shocks upon their target without dealing any actual damage.
-Plant Crest: By using the Plant Crest with the Illusion Array, Caster can influence the local flora to produce spores or scents that cause a hallucinogenic effect in his opponents.
-Element Crest: When the Element Crest is used with the Illusion Array, Caster is limited to manipulating the immaterial elements of fire & wind as a means of creating illusions.

Nature Array
-Barrier Crest: Combined with the Nature Array, the Barrier Crest encases Caster in a hardened and immobile shell.
-Restore Crest: While used with the Nature Array, the Restore Crest allows Caster to cure others of various naturally-occurring poisons & illnesses; though it is not very effective against man-made toxins.
-Levitate Crest: Although having no effect on Caster’s jumping ability, using the Levitate Crest with the Nature Array allows Caster to slow his descent when falling from great heights.
-Portal Crest: When combined with the Nature Array, the Portal Crest gives Caster the ability to teleport to areas/individuals with a high Magical Affinity/Ability; useful for pursuing distant enemies.
-Shape Crest: By using the Shape Crest with the Nature Array, Caster is able to freely reshape his own body; such as stretching and/or enlarging his limbs, though this process can be very taxing on Caster.
-Sound Crest: Together with the Nature Array, the Sound Crest allows Caster to summon & communicate with animals.
-Stealth Crest: Combining the Stealth Crest with the Nature Array enables Caster to camouflage himself by blending in with his surroundings.
-Dowse Crest: Using the Dowse Crest with the Nature Array extends the range of Caster’s magical awareness; allowing him to locate & track targets with a high Magical Affinity/Ability.
-Light Crest: When used together with the Nature Array, the Light Crest grants Caster the ability to generate bioluminescence from his body; illuminating an area with his body and potentially revealing hidden material.
-Copy Crest: Working with the Nature Array, the Copy Crest allows Caster to create a second physical duplicate capable of independent action. However this also divides Caster’s power, and any damage that each individual receives with be accumulated when Caster returns to a singular form.
