The feather in your hand seems to melt away into greasy black mist. No matter how many times you blink, it doesn't return to it's original shape. Instead, it slowly drifts away on the breeze.
Or, if you are Etheric and have raven's eyes equipped:
The feather in your hand melts away into greasy black mist and snakes into the collection of preserved eyes you're carrying. They rise, circling your head and staring at you.
They eventually settle back into their container, but it'll be hard to forget their stares.

Or, if you are Etheric and have a jagged hawk talon equipped:
The feather in your hand melts away into greasy black mist and wraps around the talon you clutch in your other hand.
A familiar jolt arcs through your body like electricity. As you writhe, you feel that the electricity is teaching you something. Even if you learned it in a hallucination, it's not a bad trick.

Or, if you are Etheric and have an owl's mask equipped:
The feather in your hand melts away into greasy black mist and drifts up to cover your eyes. After a few unsettling moments, your mask flashes with a bright light, driving away the mist.
Hmmm. You think you could probably do that again if you needed to.

Or, if you are Etheric and stupidly forget to equip any bird suit part after getting at least one bird technique?
The feather in your hand melts away into greasy black mist. You can entertain yourself for a few moments, trying to catch it in your hands, but it slips through and drifts away.
