I agree with it about being in character, but the original intent of
the Tempest was to use a hex that was unconcealable and usually doing
alot of collateral damage, such as Texas Twister. The Corporeal Tweak
is a neat idea if the character becomes visibly modified, but I would
think some area effect version of Corporeal Twist would be more in the
spirit of the Tempest as everyone (including friendlies) in the area
suddenly withers up and the Tempest kicks all the wrinkly butt.
Remember they are a storm not a focused canon.
