Thank you for defending my semblance Vedran. Perhaps I should have been more clear. The user biologically shape shifts into a lion. Rather than a physical, visual transformation though(animating that would be tricky), I opted for the user to be covered in golden to signal the transformation is taking place. Once complete, their lion selves will be revealed. If you've ever seen Steven Universe, it's similar to Garnet and Pearl's fusion; the form steps out of a curtain of light.

If that's not okay, I could go with your suggestion(although, the user's teammate actually does exactly what you're describing, except the animal is a phoenix instead of a lion).

@Phantom Xnay on the larger size then.
